Overseas candidates

A number of you have asked questions relating to getting a job in the UK when you are coming from other countries. Below is some advice from a manager in our Professional Services division:


You're in a very typical dilemma that candidates with overseas experience often have.

The UK market is very fussy and candidates without UK experience will always struggle to find work, especially if you're not yet based in the UK.

My advice would be to be very flexible about what opportunities you consider and the salary you're commanding. This will give you a chance to get your foot in the door in a UK company.

For more information on overseas qualifications go to the ICAEW website

Good luck

Hi,

I am a potential candidate who will be seeking employment in the UK within the next 6-9 months. On a preliminary basis, would you advise me to acquire the HSMP before seeking employment or should I rely on my potential employer to acquire a work permit for me? Thank you.

Regards
