to be honest with you your degree will pay you more by not comming here . it is a hard place to make a living just now, but if your set on trying it. you should go on the net and find accounting companies whom are recuiting.. please dont belive the hype. its not good here at all. several of my friends accounting buisness'es have gone under lately
Answer 8 :
Create your CV and upload it to the job search sites below, dozens of angencies will start emailing you their clients vacancy's. You will need a work visa stamped into your passport in order to get a National Insurance Number from the Governments JOB Centre plus Department as your employer will not employ you without it. If you can't get a work visa you could do freelance contract work. Some of the Job agency's will employ you and send you out to various clients if you can convince them that your work visa is comming in a few months once your application is approved. (tell them you are getting unlimited right to remain visa as a partner of a UK citizen) I know somone who did this for 6 months before they insisted on seeing the proof and then they were let go until the right visa was issued. The e-Cvs will send your CV to 1000's of recruitment agencys once a month, their service costs about $150 for their all in package. I used them and got good results. http://www.e-cvs.net/ http://www.Fish4jobs.co.uk http://www.Thegrocer.co.uk http://www.RetailCareers.co.uk http://www.jobjobbed.com/ http://www.totaljobsmail.co.uk http://www.monster.co.uk http://www.jobcentreplus.gov.uk/JCP/index.html http://www.search.co.uk
Answer 9 :
Exactly the same way you would find work in the US. Online job listings, researching the relevant recruitment companies, making contacts with recruiters, be prepared for a lot of 4am phone calls to london offices. The other way is to find work with a US multinational, base yourself in the US for a few years, then apply for a transfer overseas.
Answer 10 :
Should be easier for you to find employment here in the U.S., especially after the passage of Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
