Why is it so difficult to get a job here?

Hi Rita

Its not really easy but keep persevering In time you will get your dream job.
When I stsrted finding a job after i got my flr here took me more than a month to get a job. It was actually funny coz i sent nice cv with all the companies i applied and get nice feedbacks aswell after the interview but still didnt get the job, when i applied for my current employer i never send a cv just phone them i can apply for the job and they asked me to come straight away for an interview and then got the job.

I am working in a shop owned by a couple and im with them since then. Its my first and still my job now. I just came back after my 9 months maternity leave and they are so good about my time i can work with since my husband has different off days in a week so i can work everytime my husband is off which is very flexible for me.

I just hope you will land a job soon.
praying po.

I`m glad people are aware of the fact that they have to improve their english and lose the american part of the language. That a very important point.
Also I don`t know why a degree from another country would mean anything here? Just like ours probably doesn`t mean alot anywhere else. It certainly shouldn`t mean that you can just walk into a job here!
The title of this thread is "Why is it so difficult to get a job here?"
My answer is why wouldn`t it be? It`s not the promised land and I don`t believe anybody is forced to come here.
It`s hard work here in England and you`ll be rewarded if you do so.
On the driving point, well of course you should drive. Employers want you there at work no matter what as they pay you for that.
I think if anybody wants to come to England then maybe it`s a good idea to study here and not in Phil.
Of course every country favours its own people wether right or wrong, for example how I have to pay double at some hotels in Phil! Just cos i`m white I believe!
How can that be when its the same room regardless of skin colour?
Because it`s just another example of racism, yes it does happen to white people!!
Im not saying England is right and anything else is wrong, but these situations are the same in every country.
I just watched Lewis Hamilton win the F1 world championship and he was booed heavily by the Brazilian crowd. And as for the Spanish people with their websites and racism , well thats just terrible.
But thats what makes every country different and it would be boring if we were all the same!
So anyway, good luck to anybody finding work especially at the moment.
And thanks to America for proving again that biggest most certainly isn`t best by ruining the worlds economy.
