The job search worries many people. These concerns have been compounded recently with the surge in unemployment throughout Europe as a result of the economic crisis. As a consequence, many people opt to look for work abroad. The UK, particularly London, is a popular destination for migrants looking for work. However, moving to Britain to find a job is not always successful and it is necessary to bear in mind some key tips in order to have a fruitful job search in the United Kingdom.
The rate of unemployment in the UK is decreasing progressively. To search for work it is advisable to utilise all the available resources (acquaintances, newspapers, employment agencies, the internet), as well as the website EURES (The European Job Mobility Portal).
