All relatives I talk to make it sound as if I need a PhD in Astrophysics from Cambridge to even get a minimum wage job working at TESCO'S.
I'm 18 years old, I passed my schooling and I have experience in retail.
Please note I am British, as is my family. So I am not an illegal, or some American wanting a job in England to marry Prince Harry.
Thank You :)
Hi ,
I am a czech citizen and I came to England 5 years ago and I had no problems to find job at all,although I spoke no English at all. Most of the time I worked for agencies for minimum wage or a bit more. I had many jobs and it never took more than few days to find new one.
Last two years I work for automotive company and I earn ax twice as much than I used to.
I depends where you're planning to live. I live in birmingham and here is literally thousands manufacturers and warehouses therefore the demand for workers is really big. Best thing to do at the moment is getting a job in jaguar or land rover which has couple plants around and they pay over 11pounds per hour for unskilled workers. (Plus a lot of contributions,vouchers,bonuses)http://www.manpower.co.uk/apply/5157/aut...
If you're looking for, ,white collar, , job I can't give you any advice but I think it is not so hard as I see many foreigners doing such kind of work.
Come with savings, as sunshine mel said you won't be entitled to any benefits while you look for work. You will also need a lot of money for a deposit on any accommodation, but please be aware many landlords won't rent to anyone with a regular income.
You can find minimum wage work, but it isn't much to live on especially in London and other big cities.
Obviously you can move to the UK with your British passport whenever you like.
However you won't be eligible for any support or benefits in the UK, so you'll need to arrive with enough savings to support yourself for at least 6 months; without experience, qualifications etc, you'll be up against the same people plus students, and anyone else job hunting.
It's harder in some places than in others. A recent study by The Centre for Cities Research Group gave the best and worst places for job growth:
10 cities with highest jobs growth (% change)
1: Milton Keynes (18.2%)
2: London (17.1%)
3: Cambridge (15.7%)
4: Brighton (11.1%)
5: Bournemouth (10.0%)
6: Portsmouth (9.2%)
7: Coventry -(8.4%)
8: Newcastle (8.0%)
9: Aberdeen (7.9%)
10: Nottingham (7.7%)
10 cities with lowest jobs growth (% change)
63: Gloucester (-12.6%)
62: Rochdale (-12.2%)
61: Blackpool (-10.9%)
60: Newport (-8.6%)
59: Hull (-7.9%)
58: Grimsby (-7.3%)
57: Huddersfield (-6.7%)
56: Swindon (-6.5%)
55: Wigan (-5.7%)
54: Burnley (-4.7%)

Depends on where you plan to live and so cost of living, it won't be easy and retail you are looking at minimum wage, many retail vacancies are taken up by students and apprentices(￡2.73) who earn very little, your rate would be ￡5.13 18-20yrs.....so suggest you look at job websites in the area you are planning to live in and start applying as well as saving so you have some money to bring with you as you are entitled to NIL benefits, British citizen or not as you have not lived in the UK/paid taxes recently and you will need to before you are eligible, you will also need to register for national insurance number before you start working and once you have an address in the UK https://www.gov.uk/apply-national-insura...
If you are seriously looking for work you will find it. Take anything to begin with. Then once you are on the employment ladder, look for better jobs. Economic trends differ in different areas. London and South East England are the most buoyant, but rents are very high in London
