Hello to everyone!
Well, I'm Carlos from Spain, I'm an english student (english teacher in 3 years...) and I want to work in Great Britain this summer.
Some people in a spanish forum has helped me sending me some websites where I can find jod offers(hotels, bars...). But being honest, I don't think they'll choose me, I'm just an student who doesn't know the language very well and they have lots of english people there.
So, do you know some company to help me to find job??
Pd: A friend told me spaniards are in England like ecuadorians in Spain...is this true?
Thank you very much  |

You can't be refused it just because you're Spanish, although you could be refused it if your spoken English isn't good enough. Some jobs, mainly government ones, are only for British citizens.
I don't know of any companies that help to place Spaniards in jobs over here, but generally the waiting and bar staff in Spanish or Mexican restaurants over in London are Spanish, sometimes pretending to be Mexican.
However, as bluntly put above, jobs are scarce over here at the moment, so getting and keeping a job over here would be challenging. |
That's what I don't know, I speak a lot here with the erasmus students but i'm not sure If i could have a real conversation with an english...(much faster that the ones I have with the erasmus)
I'll search in that kind of restaurants
Thank you for the info  |

I am sure you will find bar work etc no problem, regardless of what some on here have said many of the minimum wage jobs in this country are ignored by UK citizens.
And anyway, with the number of Brits living/working in Spain its a pretty short sighted person who wouldnt make you feel welcome  ____________________ Fallen Angel "Nae sniffing my seat now!!!!! "

If you put the effort in and be realistic with what you're looking for then you'll find a job. We are short of jobs over here at the moment but we also have alot of people that expect everything to be handed to them on a silver platter so you'll stand out from them at least.

As some have suggested, i think you will probably fare best in the bar/restaurant industries.
Tapas style restaurants are becoming quite 'fashionable' over here, i guess you'd probably have a good chance there. For example, this chain boasts 70 locations:
La Tasca
(can't say i've ever been to one, so am unable to comment about them, it was just a random web search for Tapas restaurants)
Unfortunately, Britain is cursed by a particularly large proportion of xenophobic idiots (true to form, some have raised their heads in this thread already), so don't expect too warm a reception - in fact, if you turn up expecting to be called a 'stinking deigo/wop/spick' you probably won't be disappointed.
However, not all of us are knuckle-dragging Neanderthals, so good luck to you, hope it all works out ok.

Thank you very much to all. Some comments makes you feel...bad, but i've known lot of english people living/working here and no one of them have had any problem. Seeing nice people helping you is really nice.
I've just resgitered in meetup and I'm making a new CV in english to send it to La Tasca (WOW! a tapas bar in Britain! ).
I have some problems with the certificates but it's not big problem!
Thank you very much again, I'll told you when i'll be there to have a ride!  |

Lakonur, I'm sure you'll be fine over here. Come across, study and find a job.
You'll be surprised there are still lots out there. Especially if you want to work in the hospitality industry.
Just be positive and you'll be ok. Plus your English doesn't need to be great, alot of poles get along fine with basic English and do jobs like has been said above alot of British people won't do for some reason! Were bloody picky bastards.
Just remember to bring lots of decent cheap Rioja or such like with you to make you feel at home, if you buy it over here its like £5 a bottle!
P.s. Don't use the upside down ? on questions, we don't use that in English.  |

Seriously, provided you can deal with random wankers telling you that they hate anyone that's not British, you'll do fine.
The last job I had in a bar, I was working in the kitchen with 3 Polish people: they were much harder workers than most of the British people in the bar. Ironically enough, two of them were so overqualified it wasn't even funny: they both had two degrees, and one of them had also trained to be a chartered accountant.
Work hard, ignore the idiots. You'll do fine, mate  ____________________ '10 SV650SF, '83 GS650GT (it lives!), Questionable DIY dash project, 3D Printer project, Lasercutter project |
