Answer 3 :
Its easy to get a low paying job if you go through an agency, but this will be a foot in the door as you work your way through different positions within the organisation. If you become a victim to politics, move on to another company.
Answer 4 :
There are numerous agencies that can help with temporary or permanent jobs. That's how I got my job in accounts. It was easy cos they do all the work for you!
Answer 5 :
It depends! I work as a consultant for a major recruitment company which specialises in Accountancy & finance.. If you have some experience that is relevant to the UK and you are familiar with UK accounting practices then its easier otherwise you are faced with coming to the UK, gaining some UK experience within any organisation and then using that to get a foothold in a finance position and building from there. If you hold a internationally recognised accounting qualification (AAT, ACCA, ACA, CIMA, or if you are part way along such a qualification) then this can aid your cause. Unless you have some skills/experience/qualifications or combination which are considered extremely desirable (example: ACCA qualified, 5 years experience in the US with a international organisation) them you will need to reside in the UK prior to applying for roles (No firm I know of including the company I work for will seriously consider applications from abroad).
