Hi,

I am advertising professional with 9years of experience. I have applied for Tier 1 VISA (earlier HSMP VISA) and I am planning to come to London in January 2010.

Would be great if someone can help me guide how I can get a job in London. I am ready to take even a temp job in the beginning but eventually I would want only a permanent job in my field

cheers!!!!!!!!

Hello archdelhi

Most people in the UK rely on the assistance of employment recruiters to find jobs. My advice to you would be to find a recruiter who is familiar with your area of professional expertise and make friends with him/her! A good relationship with a recruiter can be immeasurably helpful in finding a job quickly. I spoke to about five recruiters when I first moved here and was very discouraged when none of them seemed to be working on my side, but then I had a great meeting with one and we "clicked". She put a positive spin on my application and recommended me to the employer above other applicants and three days after meeting her, I had a job.

In my experience, they will not be very keen to talk to you before you move, but as soon as you are in the UK, I suggest meeting with as many as you can.
