Looking to work in England

dmcg90

Hi, I currently am looking for a job in England, preferably London for the summer. I have previous experience in the Hospitality sector and at NUI Galway undertaking B.Comm Commerce. Does anyone know where I should go to look for jobs/accomodation. Is it even worth workign there for the summer with accomodation costs?

As it's more a working/living there question I'll shunt this over to Living Abroad as you'll get some people who actually live there/have lived there answering this for you

Not sure its worth it just for the summer given the accomadation costs versus how much you expect to earn? As you've probably heard its pretty expensive here. The weather is (usually) great in the summer and you can expect it to be full of tourists for your sector - so lots of business to be had i expect.

However, im not familiar with the Hospitality sector - so someone better than I can answer whether it's worth it for you.

For experience really, looking for around €500 after mainly for tickets for gigs, and other stuff. Would spend around £80 a week on food, drink etc. If that helps?
