advice needed

Why not try hotel jobs? They said it's in demand in the city.

, Penny! But hotel work CAN be - and very often IS - extremely demanding physically ... not to mention tedious. I'm thinking here of Myrna's niece's husband - a Commerce graduate, and one time senior-ranking officer with the PNP in Davao City. On arrival in N.E. England (Hartlepool) the only job he could find ... amounted to washing dishes in a hotel-cum-restaurant for many hours on end ...! D'you think Mhean would fancy THAT?

I agree Arhur but we, filipinas are not picky when just arrived. Working in hotel is hardwork and receives basic pay only according to my friends in Edinburgh.
Before, I was thinking about working in the city as my friend can accommodate me in Edinburgh but my husband said, you better compute your wages and compare it in our place.
Here in the countryside I get £7/hour but only seasonal job. If the company is quiet, I can receive £65/week from jobcentreplus plus £20 from hubby and I don't pay any bills. Not bad rather than working permanent fulltime in the city but you need to pay everything.
Mhean is living in the city and I wish she can find any job that will make her happy.
