hi,
I am appealing to all nairalanders to assist in giving me info on student surviving tips/getting job in london.i have been in london for over 4 months now without job,my daily routine is sleep-go to uni-search for jobs-go home to sleep.All the places i have applied to the only answer i get is that "sorry a more qulified person was hired" .the most annoying thing is when i applied to different call center as i was told i have poor confidence on the phone/lack british accent.infact i am fed up,walelead,muyiwabank guys what is the surviving tips i need to pay my bills

Yeah your best bet will be to go for a volunteering job, many abound if u know where to look. I applied for one too, from Nigeria and am coming down soon to London to start.

my brother its not an easy thing at all because im not working too and i have been trying to get one,
so no tips at all bros.

the only thing i will tell you its that you should keep searching and dont expect an office work

try restaurant,labour work, mainly unskilled work

also you should be able to get care work

my brother just keep trying

to be sincere, its not easy

muyiwabank how far? i have finally got an office job of about £900 monthly after tax at least to keep one going,how far with your own searching in manchester

Where is Walelead?

my brother im still searching but i know something will come up very soon.

i have not been serious with it really but i am now

and most of the places i applied has been calling me for interview

just hoping i will get something next week

all the best my brother

Good luck with your job hunt  Just keep trying.

Don't be too hard on yourself. It takes a lot of English people longer than that to find a job, so I wouldn't take it personally! It just took my son 6 months to find a new job.

If u re a student,ur best bet is to get a market research interviewer job,its very flexible,u can choose ur own hours to suit u and it dosent require lots of experience,as long as u've got good communication skills

U can search for vacancies thru this link

http://www.londonjobs.co.uk/ and just type in market research interviewer jobs in the search bar,they update it daily,hope this helps

get ready though cos its a very boring job,

as a student you can't work more than 20 hrs in a week so you've got to work part time. There is high competition for jobs in London so I would advise you to look for jobs in Greater London outskirts where there is low competition for jobs or look for a job where you would be trained but paid minimum or less minimum wage or you for a SIA license with £250.00
I am assuring you that if you take any of these steps you will get a job.

You can register with ADECCO or go to their office at 100 Oxford Circus and register with their Retail Section. No much work experience is needd .They will be sending you to work for various clients such as Top Shop ,Nike London, Debenhams on a daily basis . I got my first job break in London many years ago through them.
