Employment in Britain

To be a international student in Britain now, I am very interesting in getting more knowledge about the employment in Britain, and now I did some discovery about it, special to the international staff’s work situation in Britain.

Britain is the only one country to allow the students to do the part-time job of all the countries which speak English. And at June 1999, the government of Britain canceled the law that the students could not do the part-time job without the Work Permit if they did not belong to E.C. That means if you had the visa of students you can take a part-time job now, but it also need to apply a NI (National Insurance Number) card, because with that card, the students can get job easier, and it would avoid to unfair payment.

How to get job? There are many ways, like go to the Job Centre, read the advertisement of the newspaper, and be introduced by friends. Most of the employer needs the letter of recommendation, we can ask the teachers, the landlords or any native you know to help you writing it.

The government of Britain has changed many laws to increase the economy, it contains to encourage the international people working in the Britain. And it needs some special person of ability. For example, Nurse, Consultant Doctors, Electronic Engineering, Analyst Programmer, Business Analyst, Audiologist and so on.

In conclusion, now in Britain, it is easier to get job if you really have the ability, whatever you are native or not.
