Little Notes

There are few people who choose UK to work due to the language (english is the most used language) Specially in Spain because the proximity and the language studied in the school the adventure you should choose a place where begin to search. Since my point of view the better town is London for multiple factors:

• A big quantity of employment offers not equal for another country, depends of the kind of job your salary could be double or triple than your country. Martket is dinamic and there it is very important motivation to be long term in the country in qualify jobs.
• A heterogeneus population: only a 20% of population are original british. There are a lot of british than are selling his houses because of the rise of the price of properties. Due to this factor the integration will be faster but maybe learn a good english will be more difficult. Also londoneres have a very peculiar accent.
  
  
  
• A big extended transport network than allow be operative in a 10km radius. Grace to the quantity of underground and bus lines moving in London is very easy, however the price for this services is expensive. If you have a basic salary you should optimice the tickets and do a good calculation to choose between the different options. You can get more information in UK transport.
  
• A lot of formation centers of learning english or whatever oriented to the english job market, with high prices but sometimes reduced. Moreover there are a large number of free study centers grace to the british goverment subventions.
• A very interesting cultural offer with a big quantity of activities at the town calendar. There are a lot of free museums and monuments to visit. Moreover there are theatre and music actuations, some of them with good price. Furthermore London unlike other european capital countries, the most part of national museums are free and living there will give us the oportunity to visit well.
  

However it is not good all it seems to be like, there are the next disadvantages:

• Rent prices are very high and you need to be very careful to find something acceptable.
• Jobs in London are very stressful. Due to the high solicity the market is very dinamic and if they see than you don´t make an effort they don´t doubt in replace you.
• Salaries are very differents. Jobs than everyone can do, like work as pub assistant or kitchen porter they will report you more money than your country but cost of living give you a worse quality life. While if you have a special talent or you have a proffesional title recognice by the uk government and there are a high demand in this kind of job your salary will be very high.

Before begin...

First you will have attention to work is having the number NIN (national isurance number) to be registered by the uk governement. With that you could begin to accept jobs, and because is european country they will accept without a problem. To get that you will ask for a appointment by phone where they will ask a serie of questions as your number phone and home address. It is important in this kind of interview because if not you will not get the appointment and the NIN, and having a home address, depending of where you live there will correspond you jobcenter u other.

Normally the appointment is about two weeks to ask it, and once you have a NIN doing the papers to sign will be easier. If you look for a good job, it could be done this kind of papers by the company you have applied.

Utilities, searching methods

Work as engineer

If you have a superior titulation and experience looking for a job in UK will be easy. Although not having experience in UK your first job will give you a salary below the average in most of the cases.
Once you have been working for one year, you could have the option to apply for better jobs and conditions. Normally if you are registered in multiple sites and you have experience there even if you are not doing an effort to look for the job. If you have updated your profile you will receive a lot of offers and if you look some interest you will have the possibility to choose between different jobs. There are a big quantity of job offers and frequently it is hard for the recruiters to find it because most of the people with a profile like than are already working.
When I ended my job in UK at my first job for reasons outside the worker, a movement country for the project and the recruiters know about the company will do that i received a lot of calls even the same day to have different jobs of recruiters interested. With the little agencies you could speak more relaxed and you should have a personal recruiters list each time you are thinking of change of job. Because of the market there is very dinamic even if it was your problem be fired that is not very relecant for the recruiters. They will explain different motivations to change the job and grace to they have spoken a lot with the companies they try to hire for it will be easier than you contact directly. In addition, normally the money they receive the recruiters it is specific and this is not along with the time like in other european countries than it seem the agency is keep part of your salary forever
