Finding jobs in the UK can be a little difficults, as they are almost anywhere these days, but there are some advantages if you start doing some research before you go. This will also save you valuable time when you get to the UK.
There are websites that have jobs on offer and you can access these and send your resume to various companies who have jobs that are of interest to you. It is not so much that the loss of time will worry you, because you can always do a bit of sightseeing, but if you can organise yourself a job before you leave, you will at least know what your income is going to be.
When you are travelling overseas you need to give some thought to the types of jobs that you want to do. Are you wanting to use this experience as a way to meet other travellers, continue on with your career choice and gain more experience, or just do something that is a little different that you would normally do at home.
Consider all these options before you travel because they should affect the way you present your resume. If you are travelling abroad it is a good idea to travel with a couple of resumes. No I am not suggesting that they are full of fantasy, but they should have emphasis on different skills that would suit different types of jobs that you may go after.
For example, if you are wanting to do a job in hospitality, I would play down the fact that you have a diploma in accountancy, but highlight my personal skills such as good personality, quick worker, reliable, and other attributes that may help you get a particular job. Do you see what I mean by tailoring your resume to suit specific industry jobs.
The advantage of using a website for finding jobs in the UK is that you can search for jobs by type. Also you are able to search by geographical location which may help when moving around the country.
You will, I am sure, be aware that you are going to need working visas to be able to work in the UK. Get these organised so that you do not have any problems.
The more information you can access about finding jobs in the UK, before you travel, the better. It will mean you are much better prepared for job seeking and for job interviews. If you know any recent UK expats, have a talk with them about the job seeking process. I am sure many of them will be able to give you some tips for find a job.
