My girl friend was started to find a job today. We print out the CV and then went out shop by shop to look up the shops that have vacancy, just leave out the CV to them and wait for the response at home. As a person from other country, especially Asian Chinese, there do have few type of jobs that easily to get here:
1. Chinese shops such like restaurant, mini market, or take away job, it is so typical.
2. Amo's shops like farm jobs, waiter, sale person, or cashier. (if you have working permit)
In fact, it is not difficult to get a job here,but if you really wanna to work Amo's 'easy' job,mostly the problem was the language difficulties. If you ask a job in the Amo's shop, they really concern about your English speaking and listening skill, it is not the English that we use to in Malaysia but the local accent. No doubt that, you need some time and work hard to use to it, it is really not that easy to speak their 'English'. That is why many Chinese who been working in China town for long time here can't even speak a basic English, and it is very normal indeed. It is so true that if you can't speak their own slang you will feel difficult to find a 'better' job. May be you are lucky and you might get one, but please don't think that you surely can improve your English if just working here in Chinese shop.
今天开始为彩云找工作，过程非常简单就是复印多份的个人履历表然后走上街头看有那间店需要请人，就留一份履历表给他们，过后就回家等消息。工作的选择其实不会多，但已足够赚活了。要在这里找一份简单又赚钱的工作绝不会太难，但之前我听说过一些朋友曾尝试在英国这里找一些比较‘高’职位和有前途的工如工程师，会计师等都很难。其实这都可以理解，以我个人的意见这可以拟出几个原因，希望可以供大家参考：
1。英国改变政策：由于欧盟的扩充，大量的其他欧盟人民涌进来英国；国家之间还有一些协议如欧盟人民进出英国不需要签证，可以无条件工作。而且会优先聘请欧盟人民，有缺的才轮到其他国家。
2。学历问题：若申请专业的工作，要有被受承认的文凭和资格。很多双联课程只来这里读一个学期的课程通常不受承认；有人认为有硕士学位好找工，这也不对。经验和受承认的资格才是标准。（但有些专业在这里会比较容易找如土木工程师，要知为什么，请私下问我）
3。语言问题：这是一个严重的关点，若不能很好的与本地人沟通，会打很大折扣。这里很注重你的语言沟通技巧，这并不是我们所在马来西亚学习的英语而是当地熟悉的语言。无论听和讲都不容易学，更别说了解他们的文化了。这不是说你能在考试中拿A的英语，而是一种日常生活他们习惯用的语言，是一种文化。
以上种种的原因都导致许多人扫兴而‘归’。当然还有一些例外成功的例子，但我这里不便多说。愿有志在英国发展的朋友共勉之。
