How do I get a job in the UK

[bladski]

I am an American and have found it extremely difficult to get a working visa and a job in England. I was told I need a company to hire me and sponsor my visa... I have a BA in international business management and would like to come work in England for a few years while I am still young, good-looking and single. Does anyone have any suggestions

You see these answers and still want to stay here for a few years?

Trust me, you will be better off going back to the US ;o)

Very good point Pippa :)

hi Bladski
Have just read all the responses to your question and maybe the young and good looking bit put folk off. I dont have a magic bullet but think that a way in may be for you to try another EU country first perhaps with a European employer who can aid your relocation to the UK.

Wish you well

Bladski: It looks as if your question is being hijacked. There are several ways you can obtain a working visa for the UK. The first is as you�ve stated, being sponsored. There are companies who will do so. However, the company would most likely need your stateside experiences to meet their needs � for example, if you have an extensive history of hospitality management training, you could be sponsored here.

The next option is coming here on a student visa attending a higher-education course. Within the context of that visa you would be entitled to work.

You could also gain a post here through a US concern. There are actually quite a few of those advertised in port-of-entry cities, as well as the WSJ and FT.

I wish you every success

Do you have any preference for the type of work you want to do. I am in an international organisation that does everything connected with airlines - flight operations, ticketing, cargo, baggage etc etc. We are always taking people on, but it may not be your type of thing.

[bladski]

I am basically interested in any job that pays a decent salary... I am not looking to live there permanently or make a life long career... I basically just want to live there for a few years and have a decent job.

join a company like ups and you can transfer to uk legitimatly they have depots all over uk.

George's suggestion is a good one. You can also look at my company's website - SITA - and see if any of the jobs interest you. They have offices all over the world and they are good on benefits like cheap travel.
