hey guys

ive decided instead of making the massive jump into packing up everything in the UK and moving in april. im going to come over for 2 weeks in April to try and find a job just a bit stumped in where or what to apply for as i cant see many jobs available in customer service or betting.. can anyone offer any advise where i might likely be able to get a job. i can only speak english.. i really do wanna move just want to do it the right way..

sorry for being a pain just wanna make sure im making the right decision


Thankyou x

Hi Amy,

HSBC call center also recruit English only staff.

I-gaming could prove difficult as the positions usually require you to be a native speaker of a non-English language.

What are your qualifications? What job are you doing at the moment?

Coming for 2 weeks only might not be long enough to find a job but try sending your CV to as many agencies as possible in advance.

Cheers
Ricky

Hi ricky

Ive been over 5x in last 10 months so got an idea of malta esp valletta and surrounding areas.
Ive registered with all the agencies I can think of.. im  only educated to secondary school level so GCSEs english geography and maths.. but do have an NVQ 2 in IT..  I am currently a betting shop manager. (5 years) and also have 3 yrs exp in working in a call centre. So highly trained in customer service. I am going to reapply at hsbc around easter time.



Thanks

Amy

dont just rely on emailing CVs though as they are often ignored.... a personal visit is far better even of only to deliver your CV

hey thankyou toon, i will print a few off before i leave and go job hunting im really excited :D

go knocking on doors if you have too - many employers prefer to see you than a cv dropped in the inbox.....an email is so easily ignored here - but a 1-2-1 is hard to avoid. good luck
