Where possible, CVs should be no longer than two sides of A4 and cover letters no more than a page.<\/p>\n<p>Networking is important and many vacancies are filled through word of mouth. Use any pre-existing UK contacts to make enquiries about vacancies and let them know that you&#8217;re actively looking for work in the country.<\/p>\n<p>Speculative applications are also welcome and these can be useful when applying to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as they don&#8217;t always advertise vacancies.<\/p>\n<p>Apply for work as early as possible, as many companies have long recruitment processes. Apply in your home country and make the move once you have secured a position.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re shortlisted for a job you may have to attend a series of interviews.\u00a0 These could be one-to-one interviews with your potential line manager or panel interviews with managers and HR personnel. Larger companies and graduate schemes often use a mix of psychometric testing, assessment centres and interviews to select successful candidates.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Summer jobs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are many summer, seasonal and temporary jobs on offer in the UK and the majority can be found in the tourism, hospitality and retail industries.<\/p>\n<p>Summer jobs include working at summer or holiday camps, at outdoor adventure and water sport parks, on campsites and at a number of UK festivals.<\/p>\n<p>Hotels, bars and restaurants require causal workers all year round &#8211; opportunities are plentiful in large cities and tourist areas. The retail sector also employs temporary staff to cover the busy Christmas period.<\/p>\n<p>There are lots of voluntary roles in the UK that can help you to develop your English skills and allow you to give something back to a charitable organisation.<\/p>\n<p>If you can afford to work unpaid in order to gain experience, taking on a voluntary placement will be worthwhile and can help boost your CV.<\/p>\n<p><u>Some Useful Websites:\u00a0 <\/u><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reed.co.uk\">https:\/\/www.reed.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/uk.indeed.com\">https:\/\/uk.indeed.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.totaljobs.com\">https:\/\/www.totaljobs.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cv-library.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.cv-library.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to get a job in the UK In the UK you can apply for most jobs online by sending a short CV and cover letter or by filling out an application form.
