Hello guys. In the last few months I searched to work in UK because I want a different and better life that I have in Romania.
I've searched on internet and found some websites with recruiting but I didn't received any response. We have here, in Romania, on some websites that some agencies recruits to work in England but here is a big problem. Many agencies are fake and disappear as soon as you gave them the money required for recruitment.
I finished my college and masters in consumer protection, food industry and now I work as salesman.
So, my question is, does anyone know restaurants/bars or anything else, that are hiring in Doncaster or other city in UK?
I apologize if I bothered with this problem. Thank you.
-
To be fair most of the time you just have to go in and ask if there's any jobs going, if you're after working in a restaurant. With your qualifications though it should help you move up faster than if you were just a school leaver with nothing to go on.
-
In conclusion I should come there and go to companies to search a job. To be honest, I was thinking of this. So I need to put some money aside and then to come there and try my chance. I think 1000-1500 pounds (it will take some time until I put aside this money) will be enough for 2 months (rent, food, transport from here to UK and in the worst case if I don't find a job, some money to return home).
Thanks for your answer RedJ

Here's what you do DMC.
Get yourself to London, I think you can most cheaply by coach.
Book yourself in to the YHA, you need to book ahead, it is probably the most civilised way to stay cheaply in London. There are a few Youth hostels around central London, they're clean and you can prepare your own food so it's cheaper.
http://www.yha.org.uk/places-to-stay/london
This will give you two or three weeks to get out and about the city and find yourself some work. It shouldn't be too difficult to something quickly in your field and London is the best place to try first.
Once you have an income you can then start to look around for alternatives, if you want to come up to Donny to look around here it's only a couple of hours away on the train.
-
Thank you mate for your help. I'll look at it and maybe I'll try what you said.
Thanks again for the advice
-
Many Europeans come to Donny to work on that farm in Tickhill picking fruit.
For you my Carpathian friend, Tickhill is a nice area South of Doncaster
-
Nice as Tickhill is, I reckon chances are you'll probably end up wanting to stay in London for a while.
Actually it's just hit me if you want Donny, I know this little place is hiring right now. Drop them an email and tell them your coming to London soon but your a Donny Rovers fan and your Donny friends from t'internet recommended them. You never know your luck.
Cadeby is a very small, nice little village near Donny.

Thank you guys. I will consider your advice.
-
My advice would be to go to London. You will have no problem getting a job there. Your quality of life will also be much better there. London is the best city in the world and full of interesting things to do in your spare time.
The only thing you need to take care of is your housing costs. They are very high in London so If I were you I'd try and meet up with some fellow countrymen and share accommodation to keep the costs down.
-
I was thinking to go in London but first I need to put money aside (1200-1500 pounds) and for this I'll have to work between 6-12 month. I only earn 175-180 pounds per month s-o will take a wile.
I know will be very hard but I don't want to live with other romanians. I want to live between english people because I want to learn to speak this language much better and to learn more things about english mentality, history etc. If I stay in o group of romanians the speaking language will be romanian and will be much harder to learn.
Thanks for your advice mate.
-
Good luck my friend. London is the right decision.
I'd make sure you have enough to last you for 3 months. After that our very generous benefits scheme kicks in and you should get lots of help with your housing costs.
I'm glad you want to improve your English and want to mix with the natives. It will be appreciated by us and in time I'm sure you will be accepted as one of us.

Hmmm, I'm not so sure London is the right decision then. It's very much an international city, it's a series of villages and foriegn communities, no doubt you will find a Romanian community there.
If you want to find the real England then you really must get outside London because London is nothing like England.
Doncaster is a very English place but it's a Northern English place which is very different to the south.
DMC, what drew you to look up Doncaster?
Because I can tell you now there are a lot of people who live here who would rather get out.
I say that as someone who moved away and came back.

From what i saw here and read about, people from Doncaster seem to be very friendly. And for me, for beginning (if i get there) I would like to get into a friendly community who can accept me and help me because I'm a stranger and will take time to settle in.
I don't know how people are in London, maybe are the same.
-
DMC
That is very true, that is why I like Doncaster the people are very friendly. It's not on the surface though and people can be quite cruel but when you get to know them they are very compassionate and loyal folk. That is the very best thing about Doncaster, people are genuine.
It sounds like you might fit in here. Don't go thinking you'll be alone by the way, there are a lot of East Europeans here now.
In my experience London can be a lonely place, Londoners can be quite indifferent.
-
I know that may Eastern Europeans work in UK, but what can I say about romanians who works in uk or other countries..they seem to be very selfish and they are unwilling to help other people to get a job.
For an real example: My mother has some cousins who work in Spain (different cities) and she asked some of them (she has helped in the past) if they can help me to put my cv-s at some companies and if I had luck to go and work there (not to live in they home, on their money or other thing..only to put some cv-s). The answer was: it's very hard to find a job, we don't have time etc.
Yeah, I know is hard to find a job (nowhere is easy). So that's a reason why I'm willing to take my chances and go alone in other country. What can I lose? Nothing, I don't have wife and children.
-
I found the Spanish to be alright, more friendly than the French anyway.
I tell you what DMC, if you want to be Doncastrian and you're enthusiastic about the place then you'll get on fine. Though a lot of people will find that a bit strange.
-
I know that every people are some skeptical about strangers from other countries. Do not know who they are, what they want, what they will do
I've met some Spanish at Europa League final when Athletic Bilbao played against Atletico Madrid. The final was in 2012 in Bucharest. Me and 2 friends of mine where in the group of Bilbao's supporters and they were very civilized and sociable

Thanks mate for your confidence
-
I like the Spanish and Italians a lot. The Germans are ok though they can be a bit cool.
I've only really ever had problems in France.
-
I never met italians or french. Germans I met when Bayern played in 2009 at Cluj.
My father worked in Germany and France. He told me that he saw many french women buying 2 bottles of wine every day. He was 3 months at Flamanvile and worked at nuclear central
-
I agree with RD I really don't think London would be the right choice judging by what you have said on this and other threads, and that is also from someone born and bred in Doncaster that lived and worked in London for 30 years and then moved back to Doncaster.
Don't get me wrong London is a fantastic place, However you would no doubt be able to find Romanian community's in most towns and citys if you felt a bit homesick
-
I understand. Personally, it doesn't matter in what city I will work and live as long as I have a decent life, a family, I feel happy and have some friends to share something in common. Here is very hard to have a good job because everything just goes with bribe and relationships. I believe in other country I have more chances than here.
And don't forget football. I like watching matches from Germany and England, that is the real football. I really like your fanaticism and loyalty you show for your team. Last time when I was on a stadium was in 2009, when my childhood club, Progresul, played his last match in history. That match it was at our stadium. Since then, I was never interested to go and watch a match on other romanian stadium. I still love football and I really like to be on a stadium in England and Germany and enjoy a really good football.
Yeah, I know I'm a little weird but that's me. I'm a dreamer
-
I'm not being funny but dreaming about Doncaster is not the usual thing to do.
Then again it is probably better than a lot of Romania.
One thing Doncaster is very short of is people who really believe in the place. From that point of view, you'd be more than welcome.
In fact we are desperate for people like you.
-
To be honest, RD, I think it's fashionable to call the place you're from a shit hole. Many young folk from across the land say where they live is a shit hole, no matter where they live.

Not in that London.
But that is the problem in this country. It is all about London.
-
When visiting the wife's relatives I deliberately take her through Barking/Ilford just to show her whats shes missing :blink:
-
The main reason I recommend London is that you will definitely get a job. That has to be your main priority. Jobs are very difficult to come by in Doncaster.
There is no way I would travel to Doncaster without already having a job lined up. However travel to London without a job lined up and you will soon be in work. All you have to have is two arms and two legs. London is a completely different place compared to the rest of England. It is much more cosmopolitan compared to other towns and cities and foreigners fit in very well as there are now so many of them living there. You are much less likely to encounter racism there than you would in Doncaster.

The priority is to have a job but as you say, also I think for the beginning in London I will have more opportunities to find it. However, it will take some time to put aside the money (job, selling some ads on website I administrate etc) I need for everything and patience is a virtue.
Thank you all for advices.
L.E. I saw on internet that in UK the salary is like 6-7 pounds/h..wow, that's great. Here were I work I earn 5.5-6 pounds/day and I work 8 hours/day and 12 hours/day in weekend. I only have 2 free days (a weekend) at 2 weeks
-
You may want to start up your own business when you get here. It could be something that you do alongside your main job. It is something that I would strongly recommend.
For example do you play a musical instrument? Let's say for example you play the guitar. There is a huge demand from people wanting to learn guitar. The pay for this is between £20 to £30 per hour.
Even if you don't play guitar it is something that you could learn before you come here. There is no traveling involved as they would come to you. You only need to have been playing for a few months before you could start teaching. You just need to make sure you only take on complete beginners at first.
I'm sure there are many more business ideas that could suit you. You sound like an entrepreneur to me and it is just a matter of finding something you like to do. Unfortunately many of my countrymen don't like the idea of running their own businesses. We rely on people like you to come to our country to start up businesses to give them employment.
Mult noroc!
-
Know any good guitar teachers Mick?
-
Learn the guitar in about 12 months (DMCs timescale) to the standard required to teach, you really are more deluded than I thought

WTF are you on?
-
I suppose this should be off topic as well Col, as this deals with the life of someone other than you!!!!!
Good luck Dare to Dream, keep wishing and you will succeed.
-
1200 would last you a month in London. It's far not expensive than anywhere else in the country.
I'd suggest maybe looking for a job as a translated or something of that nature as your English is pretty good.
-

Look, you need to develop more of a can do attitude rather than looking for obstacles so you can justify putting off getting up off your arse and starting a new business.
Anyone can learn the basics of guitar in 3 months maximum. You are then totally in a position to pass on this knowledge to a complete beginner. You will also have the advantage over an experienced teacher in that it will still be fresh in your mind what the problems a complete beginner will experience.
The secret to success is to always stay one step ahead of your students. As long as you do this you will have a very successful lucrative business.
If self starters like myself always waited until they were total experts in their fields there would be very few new business start ups.
I suspect you work for the man and have never done your own thing with an attitude like that.
-

Have you just wandered in off the street? What on earth are you talking about?

Mick
If anyone can learn the basics of playing guitar in 3 months, why should anyone pay 30 quid to be trained?
What an odd business plan.
-

Thought I was on the chat forum Col, once sent I couldn't do anything about it. Felt a chump when I read it.
-

That is a good question. Here are some possible answers.
Human nature being what it is, most people want the easy solution even if it costs them. The student may not have access to the internet to view all the free 'lessons' that are out there. When you have one on one contact with another human being you can ask questions on matters you are not sure about. Having a lesson every week gives the student the motivation to practice what has been taught the previous week especially if hard earned money has been parted with. There is so much stuff 'out there' that it is much easier if you've got a teacher that can sift through it all and keep you on the right path.
I could go on but hopefully by now you get my drift.
So to re-cap. People with a can do attitude can start up a business very easily. People with a can't do mindset need to start thinking more positively and view problems as potential opportunities.
I've given a very good example of how to get a successful lucrative business up and running quite quickly without the need for a lot of money. Unfortunately everyone that has responded to my post has demonstrated a can't do attitude. It is no wonder that we need the likes of Devil to come to our country to generate the wealth that we need to keep the likes of the NHS running for the benefit of the natives.

I was a professional musician for a good many years I have made many radio programmes, I have depped with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, I have played in West End Theatre pit Orchestras, I ave also played at the Royal Festival Hall and Royal Albert Hall and many provencial concert halls
I have made numerous recordings and have played on many backing tracks used by club singers, and years ago supported bands such as Depeche Mode.
I know what I am on about and you do not!!!!!
oh and by the way I retired from music and moved back to Doncaster because I wanted too!

Thats it Filo, its all true though
-
OK. You sound like you reached a reasonable level of competency with your chosen musical instrument. I'd keep it quiet about being involved with Depeche Mode if I were you. They were a very average band with very simple songs that were instantly forgettable.
You obviously don't play guitar. If you did, you'd know how feasible my suggestion is. I stand by what I said. Anyone that plays guitar would back me up.

I'd believe a professional musician over some one that strums the odd Van Halen number anyday
-
Well for your information I was a Bass player Bass guitar, Double Bass, and as I started with a colliery band I also played Tuba, all bass but totally different techniques. I promise you I was more than reasonable.
ps you condescending t**t

More like delusions of adequacy...
-
Everyone knows bass guitar is easy to play. I reckon I could master it within one month. Normal guitar is much more difficult that is why I said it would take three months.

Guitar lessons and Tupperware rounds.
I can see why we are rocketing out of recession...

As I said earlier you do not have a clue what you are on about..... again, by the way I'm not biting just stating a fact
-
I'm sorry but you are the one that is clueless. Think about it. Once you've been playing for 3 months you will always be 3 months ahead of a complete beginner. All you need to do is keep that 3 months gap and you are sorted.
You have obviously learned a musical instrument. I'm pretty damn sure you could have taught a complete beginner after you had only been playing for 3 months. Especially bass guitar. With only 4 strings it is a very easy instrument to master and teach.
Have a look at this website for a realistic view of how long it takes to learn guitar.

Clueless
-
All I can say is that if you don't think you could have taught a complete beginner bass guitar after you had been playing for 3 months then you must have been a very slow learner. Credit to you for sticking with it and achieving a reasonable standard.
-
Look my point is that after 3 months you know enough to be able to teach a complete beginner. This is incontrovertible fact.
I definitely could master bass in one month.
It sounds to me like it took you a long time. You must have been a very slow learner or had a crap teacher.
-

Except it's not?

Jesus Bert Weedon will have you "Playing in a day". I tried that 30 years ago, still cant play.

Weighing in at 6 stone, you couldnt even pick up a plectrum,nevermind a bass or guitar.
Anyway, shouldnt this be in the spouting inane bolloxs section rather than off topic?
-
Look, I could definitely master bass in one month. What you don't realise is that I have transferable skills.
Right, back to my main point. You obviously don't tell the student that you've only been playing for 3 months. You tell them that you've been playing all your life and have successfully taught hundreds of students.
If they ask you to show them how good you are you refuse as you don't want to demoralise them. You start with the basic open chords. There is a lot of mileage in this. Are you trying to tell me that this cannot be mastered in 3 months? Of course it can. It only took me a week to be totally proficient in playing open chords.
What is it you don't understand about 'you will always be 3 months ahead of the student'? That is more than enough of a gap for you to be able to always have something to teach. Get a grip man.
-
Casperj I've given up with him he is spouting total utter rubbish about something he doesnt have a clue about (again) as you say tbh its bloody hilarious
-
It's a good job there are self starters like me about to get the economy moving. Nearly all start up businesses have to be ahem economical with the truth or they'd never get off the ground.
If you wait until you think you are totally ready to take the plunge you'll never do anything. Take a leaf out of my book. Take the plunge and learn as you go along.
-
It's a good job there are self starters like me about to get the economy moving. Nearly all start up businesses have to be ahem economical with the truth or they'd never get off the ground.
Yet more b*llocks.
So you're telling me if I started up a building firm I'd get along by lying to customers? get real.
-
Of course you would. Let's say you are good at block paving. You need to have a list of jobs that customers can look at to show how good you are. You don't tell the customer that you did these jobs working for the man (or that your more skilled mate did the work and you were just the labourer). You tell the customer you've been in business for many years and you do all the work yourself.
You then sit back and watch the work roll in. Obviously the business will only be successful if you can actually lay block paving to a reasonable standard that the customer is happy with.
So don't start a business that you are crap at. By the same token don't be put off starting a business if you are not the best block paver in Doncaster. Once you think you're good enough get started and improve as you go along.
-

Aye. I bet the thought of people in Donny buying plastic tubs and learning how to play Telstar has got the Chinese Politburo cacking half setters.

Hey guys. Someone from Transline Group (http://www.transline.co.uk) called me because they are offering jobs at a deposit in UK. The lady (we spoke in romanian and she told me that she works at the company) with whom I discussed at phone (the number was with +44 from UK) said to me that this company is not a recruitment agency and they do not take commissions. I passed the interview in english (she told me that my english is good) at the phone and told me that in a week or two I will have the second interview at Brasov (Romania) where they want to test my english (writing, speaking, reading). The departures in UK are after 20 April
Anybody heard something about this company? Would be worth the risk?
-
I'd go for it. There's loads of companies that do the same thing as them over here, they just put you together with a vacancy that suits your skills and qualifications so it's worth a crack yeah.
With them not being an agency they'd take their payment from the employer too rather than out of your pay, as she said.
-
They seem like a proper company to me looking at their website. I'd be keen to know what is in it for them before I signed up. If they answered this question to your satisfaction I'd probably give it a go if I were you.
-
I will take my chances. She told me that this company is the main company and they are hiring for themselves and the job they are offering is in a deposit. We didn't discuss about wage or city where I go but I will discuss this at the interview. Other thing that she told me is that they do not take commission or other money from the wage
-
I think they probably get a one off fee for finding you from the employer. I've been recruited this way in the past.
-
Definately a kosher comapny. They specialise in driving/logistics and I nearly had an interview with them earlier this year. I say nearly as I was booked in but something else came up that I took. I think they have offices and depots across the country. Noroc, DMC.
-
Here's a vacancy in Doncaster advertised today on the job centre website by transline

-
Please don't take this the wrong way DMC but do you mean that the job is in a ''depot'' not a ''deposit'' ?
I wouldn't want you you going to your interview using the wrong word ;)
-
Depot is a French word that has become common use for - guess what - deposit. ;)
-
Please don't take this the wrong way DMC but do you mean that the job is in a ''depot'' not a ''deposit'' ?
I wouldn't want you you going to your interview using the wrong word ;)
Hi and thanks for your advice. The lady told me that is a deposit (storrage/warehouse) with clothes
-
A deposit is a request for payment.
-
Depends on how it translates into Romanian though Don. Sometimes there isn't always a literal translation and it comes out as something similar but not quite what we mean in English.
Besides, we're using a foreign word for them as it is.
-
I think he means "depot", like a warehouse.
-
Is that the Next distribution place in the Dearne Valley?

Some genuinely good posters have been banned from this forum that actually talk about DRFC, yet MadMick is allowed to stay and wind everyone up all the time (it seems to work too). Why?
You might not like some of the posters you banned but at the end of the day they actually contributed to the forum and made some good points (on drfc)!
Always baffled me some of the decisions to ban some and not ban others.

Look I'd appreciate it if you would stick to the rules of the forum and use a bit of common sense. Your post is totally random in the context of this thread. Either start a new thread or have regard for the thread you are posting on. All we are doing on this thread is trying to help Devil get sorted in our country.
-
Well some are helping, you're just spouting b*llocks to get a rise out of regular posters.

I haven't received any news from this company so I'll have to wait :)

And you didn't hijack this thread with your totally inane bollox? A thread involving someone genuinely seeking help and others genuinely trying to give the help sought.
For Christ's sake Mad Mick, start your own thread on teaching bloody guitar if you must but.

Look all I was doing was advising Devil to also start up his own business when he gets here. I gave a perfectly good example of how to go about it. Totally in context with the thread.
For all you know he has been practising his guitar and is well on the way to being ready to launch his own business. It's a shame some of you are so negative about my suggestion. I think you need to develop more of a can do attitude rather than just being happy working for the man all your lives.
-
If you're prepard to work in a warehouse or factory there are plenty of entry-level positions around and you can waork your way up from there, DMC. Your English is good and you have a "can do" attitude that will do a lot for you.
There are several distribution warehouses in the Doncaster area for well-known retailers like Ikea, Next and The Range. There is also a DHL hub in the town which is always in need of staff. They store and carry goods for my employer (Thorntons PLC) amongst others. The great thing about the North of England is the cost of living is so much lower than London that your money goes a lot further even though the wages aren't as high.
My office is 40 miles (70km) south of Doncaster and we have a big factory here where you would easily find work. Many of the brightest factory staff have moved across to work in the offices in various roles so there's always an opportunity to work your way up the ladder.
-
I'd also suggest giving West Yorkshire a look, the number of warehouses is staggering. We've a work office in Normanton and there are warehouses all around - the work is there if you want it I'm sure of that.

Even better if you can drive as well as it gives you more options than if you had to rely on public transport.
-
Hi. Thanks for all advices.
I've sent my cv to some companies but I haven't received any answer (positive or negative) from them. I know that my best chances to get a job is to come there and put cv by miself (or to pun someone a good word for me) but is very expensive and for now, I don't have money for this. If I had an agreement with a company I will be needed to take a loan from my parents (If they have) to come there and to return the money after I get paid.
What I wanted to ask, can someone to put my cv at their company or other companies that are hiring? I think I have a better chance if someone recommend me.
Even better if you can drive as well as it gives you more options than if you had to rely on public transport.
I have a driver license but I have under one year experience, only 4-5 months and will be a little difficult for me to drive on left side :lol:
P. S.I want say that I do not want to come there to steal or other of these, I just only want to work and have better life that I can have here in Romania. Here, my wage is 170-180 pounds/month and I have only 5 free days/month. In UK the wage is much higher than here, and I'll have the chance to have a better life, and that is one of the reasons I want to come there. Another reason is that I want to see your country, to learn about your culture, your life style, to watch a very good football from stadiums etc. It will be like a new begining for me. I'm sure will be difficult at the begining but I will adapt because is for my own good.
-
Don't worry what anyone thinks with regard to your last point. As long as you (if you come that is) come here to work hard and do your bit, most people wouldn't have a problem with you, and the ones that would, I wouldn't take much notice of anyway.
-
That's it RedJ.
You don't have to justify your reasons if i could go elsewhere for more id be off like a shot. Although from what ive read of your posts you should fit in no problem.
i used to work with a Hungarian lad who you remind me of. I invited him on my 5 a-side team and he fitted in really well. Allegedly he represented ferencvarosi at youth level so we named him puskas. Sadly he was shite though

Thanks again for your support. About the hungarian, it happens, especially as some people are faking but this doesn't mean that all hungarians are the same.
I still search on internet on my free time but in most cases I don't receive any response. But I don't give up, I put aside some money at each received salary but can only put a small amount ~25-30 pounds/month from my 170 pounds/month. It's not a big amount but it will help me when I come there (I hope :lol:).

Hey guys. Someone from Transline Group (http://www.transline.co.uk) called me because they are offering jobs at a deposit in UK. The lady (we spoke in romanian and she told me that she works at the company) with whom I discussed at phone (the number was with +44 from UK) said to me that this company is not a recruitment agency and they do not take commissions. I passed the interview in english (she told me that my english is good) at the phone and told me that in a week or two I will have the second interview at Brasov (Romania) where they want to test my english (writing, speaking, reading). The departures in UK are after 20 April
Anybody heard something about this company? Would be worth the risk?
Transline are worth sticking with,major recruiters for the massive Amazon warehouse in Doncaster,lots of Rovers fans work there,as i did last year untill back gave way

I dont know if it will help at all but apparently several companies in Bristol are actively recruiting Romanian staff, presumably you know this Tjobs website?
http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/Bristol-jobs-advertised-Romanian-websites/story-20391897-detail/story.html
-
Hi and thanks for the suggestion. Yeah, I heard and I have a account on Tjob site but the companies listed there are agencies and they take high commissions
For example this: http://www.tjobs.ro/locuri-de-munca-in-strainatate/anglia-marea-britanie/hospitality-staff-in-uk/36638
"After you are accepted by BRG, pay £ 150 and the next step is to be accepted by the foreign partner.
Tou will receive an offer from a company in UK. After receiving the offer you pay another £ 400 to us.
Questions and Answers:
- The amount I get paid (a)? 6.31GBP/hr start at least 1 year to become familiar with the terminology in the field to gain experience in UK
- Rent? Yes, 50-70GBP/week - depends on the offer received (across England)
- How much money I need to go? 550GBP (150+400) + ticket + spending money"
Other company
"How much cost?
Fee schedule:
-for the hospitality is £ 1700 .
- For positions supervisor / team leader / restaurant manager fee is £ 1550"
This is one of the many examples... And I don't have at least £ 1000. Here for a year of work I receive ~ £ 2000
And it's a big risk because nothing it's sure.
A few years ago, my father, tried to go and work in Germany. He paid first commission for agency like 100-150 euros and they told him to wait their call. He waited 6-7 days and then he went to the agency headquarters, nobody was there. The company was a scam and he lost that money.
And to be honest, I'm a little afraid to be involved with this agencies. I don't know what agency is serious or scam (if I pay a tax and then it's a scam, then I worked 1-2 (or more) months for nothing). That's the reason I asked here for help and if somebody know some companies from UK are hiring. It would be safe and then I will have to work hard (I know that will be much harder then here) and will need to adapt.
-
Yes you are very wise to be wary of rip-off comapnies and websites. I do know that Bristol has quite a sizeable Romanian community so maybe if you make contact with them they will know companies who are hiring - and places to stay.

I have a driver license but I have under one year experience, only 4-5 months and will be a little difficult for me to drive on left side
Don't worry about that. You'd soon get used to driving on the left hand side. I've driven in countries on the right and after 5 minutes I was totally comfortable with it. Just remember in our country if you are involved in an accident it is always the other persons fault (even if it isn't). It's a strange system but our insurance companies don't like us to admit fault in an accident. You then let the insurance companies fight over the rights and wrongs of the incident.
-
You could always teach people to drive over here as well DMC ;)
-
I wouldn't advise it. The wages are crap, there are a lot of overheads, you are constantly looking for new customers and the hours are very unsociable. Stick with teaching guitar.
-
I asked in a group of romanians in uk on facebook and a guy told me that he worked for 3-4 months for this company, transline group, and they is serios, they pay the wage at time but a problem will be If I will be hired by them as self - employed because the taxes is a little higher.

Not at all income taxes are the same rate either way.

I understand.
Another problem is that they didn't called me this week (the lady told me that she will call me this week to announce me when I will have to go in Brasov for the part two of interview).
I started to think that I don't have luck with this, to work in UK. Anybody from here knows other companies that are hiring romanians? I asked on facebook in a group of romanian if anybody can help me, but sadly no, is everybody for himself...
-
If I were you DMC I'd have a look at a load of different job websites and upload your CV, especially to the recruitment companies' ones, so potential employers can find you and recruitment companies can see if they can put you to a vacancy. There's that many people wanting not so many jobs that it's probably worth a bit of a scattergun approach.

Do you know some of this websites? I looked on google and I found some of them. I upload my cv (even at theguardian) and made him visible for all companies.
An hour ago, I send an email with my cv at Aldi
L.E. I found: reed, monster, londonjobs. I will register and upload my cv there
-
Aye, that's the kind of site I mean, totaljobs, cv-library being a few more. As with anything the better qualified and more experienced you are, the better chance you've got of getting the job, but at least having a presence online will help.
CV-Library and reed tell you how many people have applied through them too so you've got an idea of how popular the listing is.

Thanks again for your help mate
-
Today I received the call from Transline Group and Monday morning I will have the interview in Brașov.
After I pass the interview will be discused the details. What should I ask them? Besides salary, transport to UK and rent? About other commission in Uk, or the taxes I have to pay (self employed or not) etc? What should be the minimum wage/month for food, rent?
-
Hi guys. I passed the interview at the company and they will contact me for the last details. The company recruit people for the company named Asos, a warehouse with clothes. This warehouse is located in Barnsley, I think is close to Doncaster 60-70 miles).
-
that warehouse is near grimethorpe,less than 15 miles i think
-
I don't know yet, all I know is that in Barnsley. The wage will be 6.57 pounds/h and After 12 weeks, If the main company (asos) is pleased by me they will offer me a contract for them.
-
Hi Devil. Sorry I missed your previous post. Here is a rough breakdown of what your costs would be for living in the UK per month (Doncaster/Barnsley area).
Rent - £400
Gas, Electric, Water, TV, Council tax - £275
Total -£675
This would be for a 2 bedroomed terraced house. Obviously if there were two of you in the house your costs would halve. I know of Polish tenants that comfortably accommodate 3 people in this type of house. The more in the house, the less your costs will be.
I reckon you could get by quite comfortably on £200 per month for food (unless you are a fat b*****d).
Travel to work can add up so if I were you I'd try and live close to the factory and walk to work. Bus trips can add up to about £100 per month if you are not careful. If you are working shifts (which I suspect you will be) there will be no buses during the early hours of the morning. Taxis would be a solution but they cost roughly double what the buses cost.
As for tax that depends on what you earn but I'd have thought if you allowed say £100 per month you shouldn't be far off the mark.
Mult noroc!
-
The guy Who was at interview said that rent + utilities will be 300-350 pounds for legal house with 3-4 rooms and if we'll stay 3-4 in that house we will pay something like 100 pounds. Even if is 200 pounds/each (rent and utilities) I think will be ok. As you said, 150-200 pounds for food (hei said that în lidl the food is cheaper than in Tesco or Asda) .. I hope I will adapt and gain a Full time contract with the main company or other company.
Mulțumesc, thank you.
-
£200 per month is much more realistic. Rent on it's own for a 3 bedroomed house would be around £450 per month.
-
If you need your Football fix DMC, make sure you come and Support Doncaster Rovers, and not Barnsley, they are our local rivals. Barnsley is only a short bus ride from Doncaster, another big plus for you is Wizzair are starting flights to and from Doncaster Sheffield Airport to Bucharest in the summer. You now need to learn the Yorkshire accent :)
-
Of course I want to see football matches on stadium :blush: Rob told me that the Asos warehouse is at the half distance between Barnsley and Doncaster. I asked him where is the best place to stay. of course a not so expensive place because the company will not pay the wage in the first 2 weeks so I will have to get a loan to have in the first month. On 11 this month I will receive my wage so I will have the money for the road.
-
As you said, 150-200 pounds for food (hei said that în lidl the food is cheaper than in Tesco or Asda)
He is definitely right on this point. I recently did a shopping analysis and found that I would need need £75 for food in Aldi/Lidl but that would rise to £100 if I went to Tesco instead. Aldi also tends to cater better for 'foreign' tastes.
-
That's good.
I asked other romanians about the accent in north of UK and they told me that is a little harder to understand what other speaking. For me, yes, will be hard in the first period there but I'm sure I will understand, in time, the accent.
P. S. After 20 April is supposed to be the arrival
-
Doncaster accent is much nicer and easier to understand than the Barnsley accent.
-
Could you not do him cheap rates on one of your houses IC1967 ???
Until he gets settled ???
-
I would if I could. Unfortunately demand well outstrips my ability to supply as I have such an excellent reputation as a landlord.
Actually this is something to bear in mind Devil. For every excellent landlord like me there are 99 bad ones. Do your homework and make sure you get a good landlord. Most are bad so take time to get this right to make your stay in the UK more pleasurable.
Another point. Most estate agents will charge you £200 -£300 for finding a property for you. Try and get one by word of mouth from your Romanian friends and avoid this cost. I get all my tenants by word of mouth as they are much more reliable and it saves them a lot of money as well. You will also be expected to pay a bond on your house before you move in. This is usually about the same cost as one month's rent (per house not per person).
I believe BobG has a lot of houses for rent. He is a very decent man so it might be worth private messaging him to see if he can help you.

-
Congratulations DMC, just proves the work's there if you want it. Hope it works out for you.
-
Thank you all. Now I will wait the call from company to tell me the last details and to try to get the money I need for this opportunity.
-
I got the loan from my parents and now I'm only waiting the call from the company.
-
Good news, DmC!
Hope it all works out for you.

Good news, DmC!
Hope it all works out for you.
Thanks Rob!
What I know about the contract. First I will sign a contract with Transline (the recruting agency) for an indefinite period of time and after 2 weeks of training (the training will be paid) I will have 2 tests and if I will pass them I will be on 12 weeks trial period. After that period, if the main company (Asos) will be pleased with my work, they will offer me a permanent contract.
-
Well done fella , sounds like a pretty standard arrangement re the contract
-

I too liked what they told me about the contract. That's one of the reasons I want to risk with them.
-
Good luck DMC, you seem to be making your own luck though.
-
Unless you do shite - which I doubt you will - they're likely to take you on.
Hope it comes good for you.
-
Thanks guys. I will try to adapt and to do my best at work. I want to stay and work there, not to return here so soon.

Plus you will be able to watch the Rovers on tv. :scarf:

Plus you will be able to watch the Rovers on tv. :scarf:
I'm a fan who prefer matches at stadium. I saw that the last match at home will be on 26 April and I can't come at the stadium because at that date I don't know if I will be there.
Maybe next season, after I earn some money to buy tickets for the road and at the stadium.
-
Just as well then that we're hardly ever on tv. :laugh:
-
I'm Sure we'll play a game somewhere near you that you will be able to attend. :)
-
Maybe will be a friendly match at home after I come there.
-
Am I right in thinking you've got work in South Yorkshire or have I missed something?
If so, I'm sure someone would be willing to donate a voucher M ticket for you.
-
Near Barnsley, at Asos warehouse. I'm only waiting their call to tell me when I have to be there (after Easter).

Thank you mate for all your help

Well done DMC, also credit to the guys who have offered help and advice, after reading a fair about of neg comments from fans recently it's nice to have a read through this thread!
-
Maybe will be a friendly match at home after I come there.
DMC- if you can't get to the Apr 26 game, there is usually a friendly or two before the start of the new season in late July/early Aug.
If you can't wait until then to see the stadium, the women's team, the Doncaster Belles play through the summer, and also have a visit in the summer and watch a Doncaster rugby league game. If you've not seen rugby league before, that could fascinate you (despite what one or two on here think) 😃. Good luck !!
-
Today I received the call from Transline. On 28 April I will leave Romania because on 1 May I must be in Barnsley.
I will come there with 2 boys with a personal car.
I hope I can meet there some of you guys at a beer and matches :cool:
-
Best of luck DMC. :)
Hope it all works out.

So, your first Rovers game is Saturday 3rd May?

Hey guys. When I come there I will take all my diplomas with me (originals + translated into English). Is there any place where I can equate my studies?
-
I don't think 'equate' is the correct word for what you are asking. I don't understand what you mean.
-
I don't think 'equate' is the correct word for what you are asking. I don't understand what you mean.
I don't know the word in english, I translated him with google. I mean that where should I go because I want my studies to be recognized in UK.

Hey.
Today I bought my airplane ticket and on 29 April I will be on Luton Airport. Then I will buy a bus ticket to arrive in Barnsley.
-
Just so you know - once you see Luton, it does get better. Luton is an absolute shit hole from what I remember.
Mind, Barnsley is hardly Babylon.
-
Pity the guy, first time in England, expecting to see the famous sites, first thing that will be seen is Luton, he will want to go back.
-
No. I will be glad to be there, will be a new chapter in my life
-
I wish you all the very best DMC. You have a great deal of courage and deserve to succeed.
I'm sure you will find life in the UK will be good.
Be sure to get on here and let us know when/if you plan to come to watch the Rovers. I will be amongst those who would like to shake your hand.
-
Followed this thread with interest, a good news story so far about the warmth of DRFC and its fans and everyone in the thread a credit to the club and the area with the assistance offered.
Good luck with this new chapter in your life DMC, hope it works out for you!
-
Thank you for the trust shown in me and for all your advices. As I said before, I hope I can make a good job and adapt there.

I thought him and a few mates had a place sorted.

There now in a hotel at the moment there looking for a place in Barnsley but they are at Asos this morning I'm going to phone every landlord in Barnsley independant this morning
-
Hey guys. I'm here in Barnsley for 11 days. I started the job at Asos, tomorrow I will start the second week at them. I passed the first test with Jack H, the trainer for my team. For the moment I stay in Wombwell with other people in the house. I came here with 2 boys and one of them leaved and moved to York. The other guys is very strange and we don't have anything in common. I'm looking to move anywhere else (anybody have an idea or know someone who can't rent a cheap room?).
Yesterday I was in Sheffield at a interview for the Nino and Monday I will have an interview at Lloyds to make a bank account.
Maybe next weekend or other weekend I can meet some of you guys at a beer or something.
P.S. I don't have a laptop here and now I'm in a internet cafe but I'm looking to buy a cheap laptop, something like 100-150 pounds but I don't have the money right now (maybe I can get a loan at the bank to buy the laptop).
-
If you have a smart phone and UK sim card theres plenty of internet through 3g. How are you finding life in the UK?

I have galaxy s3, and I buyed a lebara sim.

He's trying to Hoola. He's sent me his CV to try a few places for him. If anyone has a vacancy at their place of work (or if you have your own company and have a vacancy for a young lad with the desire to get on and do well) then drop me a PM.
Also, one poster on this forum has offered him the use of their spare room to help him get on his feet.

Hey guys. I talked with Rob and he will try to help me (I remain grateful for all he has done for me) but I will need some luck (I will send my cv at some companies but as I said, I need some luck). At this moment I'm recovered 100%, I don't have any medical problems.

Might be an idea to pass your test at your end before coming back to the UK. It'll open up much more of the job market if you've got an EU driving licence.

Hey guys. Can someone help me to find out if I got National Insurance Number?
Here is a picture with the paper that I received in Sheffield.

That's the application for one - you should receive it in I think a maximum of 2 months if they approve it.
Although you may want to cover up some of the details if you plan on leaving the photo online. :)

Hello. I didn't wanted to open another topic so I searched for my old topic about a job in UK.
As some of you know, in 2014 I worked there a month and a half at ASOS, in Barnsley. The problem was that I had to return home because I had some big medical problems, but now they're gone. I always wanted to return there but I had some difficulties at that time.
Finally, I have managed to raise some money (I still need a few but I have almost 90% from what I think I need), and now I want to return there in the next few months. I received the National Insurance Number a few months later in 2014, so this will not be a problem anymore.
I know it will be hard for a foreigner to find a job and live there now with Brexit, but my hope and dream remained the same, to come and live in UK.
I will have to come alone there and it will be hard for me, so I think will be the best to come in Doncaster. I know some people from this forum, some I knew personally, with others I talked on facebook, and I think I can make some new friends there.
Here, in Romania, I feel I don't have a motivation anymore and it's not about money. When I was there, every day was a joy, and I had motivation...to see the city, to meet new people with different mentalities, and many other things.
To finish what I have started, I wanted to ask if someone knows some companies that are hiring in Doncaster. For me it will be much easier to work in stores (like local stores, Tesco, Aldi, Poundland etc). I have a few years experience in sales...I was a salesman and then a Manager at a local store (before I arrived in UK in 2014)...For almost a year I wrote footballt articles (on English and German football) at Dolce Sport (a sport television)...After that I was computer operator at a food warehouse, and now I'm Department Manager at Mega Image, a very big company in Romania but owned by Ahold Delhaize (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahold_Delhaize) from Netherlands and Belgium...In sales will be awesome, but I have an open mind, and at the beginning I can work in other areas.
Thank you and I apologize if I offended somebody with this.

I have helped shit loads of brits get jobs out here via my connections .
One thing I can say for sure that on most occasions they were all found jobs that they did not set out to apply for or find.
My addvice to you would be to try and get contact with people from your own country that work and live in whatever area you plan to call home in the U.K. as your countrymen can open some doors for you .
The lanuage will not be a issue for you that's for sure. My guess is that you will find a job that's not in your field to which you can then hunt down a job in your fields of choice.
If your in the system as NI number etc etc bank account home address that will make things run more easy for any possible employers .
best of luck by the way.

Wish you the very best of luck DMC, hope you settle in well and get down to the Keepmoat, if not this season, then certainly next in League One!
-
Fingers crossed DMC. I really hope this works out. I'm sorry I can't offer anything useful or helpful - I don't live anywhere near Doncaster.
Cheers

I have just done a quick search for you DMC on one of those sites for Romanian - English interpreters and there were quite a few hits - including South Yorkshire Police. Your English seems very good, this is something you should certainly consider.
-
Thank you very much. I'll have a look when I get home after work.
-
Wilts just remember that here in the motherland we do not speak the Queens English lol
Best of luck DMC

DMC any joy with job ?

I applied at some companies. Some of them didn't answered and others gave me a negative response (because of distance, but I said to them that I want to move there). I know it's very hard to find something there from Bucharest, and I'll have more opportunities once I arrive there.
-
Ok good luck

Best bet is to save some money up if possible and move over and find a job. Theres plenty out there if you want it. Your english looks very good.

Isn't it a little unfair to encourage DMC to come and live in a country that has a future of doom and gloom?

I saved some money specially for this (I have 90% of what I think I need to live 2-3 months without having a job). I will still apply at some jobs from here, and would be fantastic if some companies needs me and I have some interviews on skype. And when I'll come there to have the last interview and then to sign the contract, but that is the optimistic way. As I said before, I think the best chances to have a job in UK is to be and search from there.
-
Get your CV in with some recruitment agencies, they're your best bet at finding work short term. Even if it's only a few weeks/months in a job, it'll get you some money coming in, and it may lead to something more permanent.
And it'll give you time to find something else if it is just a stop gap.
-
I can't see how any future employer will take him while he lives in a different country ,unless his sector is a special type of job.
It will be hard enough for the fella to get a job been from another country if he had a DN4 post code ,but not impossible .
Only way he will get a job U.K. While he is in Romania is to answer one of those car wash jobs adverts that they put up in his homeland.
But that would be a mistake for sure ,as he sounds a better chap than that for sure.
-
@not on facebook, We think the same. It'ssomething normal that companies will not hire people from 2500 km far away.
I have a masters degree, but my qualification will count only when will be recognized there. This will be one of the first things I want to do when I return in UK. In 2014 I didn't had the chance and time to do that. With my studies and experience I think and hope I'll have a chance for a decent job, not washing cars or unqualified jobs.
@RedJ, Some recruitment agencies is what I search from here, that is the only chance to find something being in Romania.

Hello.
I applied at some companies but some of the companies don't bother to answer at my application, from others I received almost instant the specific answer 'after we reviewed your application we decided that you didn't qualify for the next stage'...from my point of view it's embarassing for a company to say that a man with master's degree and some years experience as store manager, assistant manager is not qualified for the next stage...I said before, I know that it is very hard to find a job being at almost 2500 km away.
Or is that because of Brexit and some companies is avoiding to hire foreigneirs?
-
No, it's cos you're always bound to get loads of rejections. It's hard to get jobs apart from the real shite, and even then there's a lot of people that'll be trying to get these jobs.
-
Said this before and will say it again as one of his best options of getting a job in the donny area will be via word of mouth from any countrymen from Romania that are living and working in the borough of Doncaster.
And I don't mean the Roma begging type as this lot will be holding your chances back fella ,especially if you are applying from your neck of the woods ,it's human nature.
How do people think that many polish fall into jobs out here ,as they for sure will be getting a helping hand from the local polish out here.
Works the same way when ex pats live abroad .
When I first came norway I was on the dole in U.K. And did not have a bean in my pocket and was working in strawberry fields for the first summer.
Once I moved into oslo and found where all local ex pats drank and gave shit loads of home made strawberry jam away it opened doors for me.
After been here a few years and working in the correct job where all the ex pats had day to day contact with me ,any new ex pat asking for whatever work I would pass onto the correct ex pat who was allready established out here.quite a few got jobs out here this way and I got my strawberry jam back via beers bought.
-
I know it's a gamble but as said before on the thread DMC your best chance of getting a job will be to actually save some cash and fly over and apply over here.
I'd imagine your chances of getting a offer whilst applying from Romania are quite slim to be honest.
Best of luck though,hope it all works out as you seem a great bloke.

I agree with you, and that's why every month I put some money aside. Here I earn 350 euros/month (300 pounds/month), and obviously I cannot put all the money aside. ...I know being there I will have a better chance to find a job. But with Brexit I have to wait o little while to see what happens, and that's why I tried my chance applying online at some job offers...I didn't lose anything trying while I'm waiting to see if it will be okay as a foreigner.
-
Your best chance of getting a good job over here is being based here and signing up with a few agencies, I've been working a Romanian bloke today and he can hardly speak any English, but give him his due he got stuck in and kept himself busy . Also when you've got your foot in the door it's easier to move forward

Hello.
Finally, I managed to have at least 2000 pounds, the money I thought I would need to return in UK. I waited for the elections to end, to see how many chances would be for a soft Brexit.
As many of you know, my wish is to return there, and I want to be in Doncaster. I think I have the money to live 2 months without a job (rent, food etc) and in that time to search for a job.
To have a better chance I legally translated my diplomas (university and master's degree) in english, I also have the national insurance number.
I wanted to ask if would be okay for a foreigner to come there now...I searched a lot on internet, in the last few days, and I read some news that some companies are avoiding to hire foreigners.
-
You're legally allowed to work here, send your CV in to recruitment agencies is your best bet.

What line of work are you looking for?
-
Legally you're fine to work here. Obviously like you've had before you'll find it easier to get a job in the UK when you're here but if you're not then they may have reservations. The only reason companies may have reservations about hiring someone foreign is with Brexit coming up. If you get here and get yourself a job I'm sure you'll be fine.
-
What line of work are you looking for?
I would prefer in sales, because I gained a lot of experience as department manager and store manager, and would be much easier for me.
But I have an open mind
-
Even if you do end up in a factory, for example, if you do well it can be a way into the office. Half the people in my office started on the shop floor, including the managing director, believe it or not.

I know that. Many started at the bottom and now they are managers/directors etc
-
In my experience many shop floor workers become managers by means of the following;
1) Their dad's a manager.
2) Their best mate's a manager
3) They're an effective shop steward and so are promoted to bat for the other side.
4) They start at the bottom (literally) and work their way up to full penetration.
-
Nowt wrong with full penetration.

All the best DMC, we all hope to see you in Donny soon and at a match . You should still be able to pick up a cheap flight from Bucharest and don't forget nearly half and growing of the population DON'T believe in the crap that is Brexit - it's usually the half with intelligence and therefore those in a position to employ you.
Speak soon ok .
-
The flight is cheap at wizzair, only 100 euros from Bucharest to Doncaster (3 years ago I payed almost 200 euros from Bucharest to Luton Airport).
Now I will be on holiday for 2 weeks, and I will have some time to search for a job on internet. If I'll find something from here, would be ideal, and I'll know for sure that I''ll not losing the money.

Hoola, surely you are not doing DevilMayCry any favours by encouraging him to come and live in a country that is destined for post Brexit poverty?

Hello.
I didn't want to start a new topic about this so I will write here.
As some of you knows, I worked only for 2 months in 2014 in Barnsley. Sadly, I had to return home because I had big medical problems (viral meningitis) and I needed some time to recover...But my wish was always to return there...England has always fascinated me, and I wanted to work and live there.
After my recovery, I worked at some companies, and started to put in every month some money in another bank account for my chance to return there. In this time, I managed to have the money that I think will help me to live there (2-3 months) while I search for a job. So the problem wasn't the money, was that I wasn't sure what will be for a foreigner after Brexit (still, nobody knows) and to be honest, I was a little scared to come alone (maybe because of what happened to me when I was there? Then, If I would have been alone in the house maybe today I would have not been alive).
But seeing how economically Romania is falling, how companies treat their people and other things, made me to get over that fear and insecurity about Brexit...Now, my mind is clear, and I can say that I can come there with my heart open and without being afraid.
My plan is that in 2 months, 2 and a half months maximum, to come in Doncaster and to try to have a life there. Steve (a friend from facebook who lives in Donny) is trying to help me, he asked for my cv to send at some companies that he knows... Yesterday he told me about Wizzair, that they are hiring for Doncaster. I applied at them and I hope it will be okay, but who knows?
I think I'll have a better chance searching and working in stores, in sales....I started from zero, working as salesman, being a store manager, as a sport writer on english and german football at sport television, accountant at a food warehouse, and in the almost 2 years as a department manager at a big company owned by Dellhaize (from Belgium).
What I wanted to ask, is it okay for me to come there in that period (in 2 months) and searching for a job? Or the majority of companies aren't hiring in that period? Or do you know other companies that are willing to hire a foreigner?
So guys, what are your opinion about this?
-
Amazon is a sure bet, just to get you on the employment ladder
-
Wizzair might want to employ someone with language skills that's also a good bet .....Good luck DMC
-
Hello.
I need some help. On what website should I search for a place to rent in Doncaster? I found a few on google, but any idea what's the most serious?
I'm looking to pay 150-200 pounds/month (or is much expensive than that?).
Thank you.
-
DMC have you got an offer of a job then ?
-
DMC have you got an offer of a job then ?
No, I don't have any job offer...but I'm not going to wait for one...At the end of may or beginning of june I want to come there, and search from there...I know I'll have a better chance to find something
-
Depends what type of property you're looking at. Might get that kind of rent for an HMO, it'll be probably double otherwise.

I’m not looking for an entire house, only a room or a single room apartment (if it’s not so expensive).
-
Even then you're still looking at £250 minimum, unfortunately. Cheaper to buy a bloody house than rent a single room, weirdly.

That would be awkward, to stay alone in an entire house :lol:
-
You would have to allow £ 4- 500 per month, however I don't know how things will be after we leave the EU in terms of the costs of travel, rights to stay etc. . It's my long- term plan to go and live in the EU in a few years time , something I too will have to consider carefully .
Providing we all survive the next month or so of course.

Have anyone heard about Knightsbridge Global Recruitment (http://www.kglobal.co.uk/)? They posted a job offer (kinda) on a romanian recruitment site.
(http://oi64.tinypic.com/nyvg2g.jpg)
(http://oi64.tinypic.com/35bcxol.jpg)
-
Never heard of them, but these types of posts aren't that rare if you're looking for jobs in these types of industry. The accommodation part is new to me but then I don't go looking on foreign job boards... :laugh:
Give them a shout and see what you think?
-
DMC earlier you mentioned you had translated your degrees , just out of interest what was the subject matter ? I mean are they helpful for you to seek work in catering management ?
I know these jobs were advertised for Oxford ( a Europhile university city ) but short- term could be a stepping - stone to your eventual repatriation as an honorary Yorkshire Viking. What is interesting about this posts is the accommodation price @ £ 300- 350 p.m a reasonable amount to pay for Oxford .
Perhaps it might help if you post your general not personal c.v ( curriculum vitae ) , someone on here might be looking for someone with exactly your skillset . They can then persue it further on a more personal basis by pm. What I mean is do you have a degree in mechanical engineering , rocket science etc. ?
-
Like RedJ I have never heard of this particular agency but they do seem genuine - been in business since 2012 - so you should be OK with the ad. And yes £300-350 is very cheap to pay for accommodation in Oxford, I would expect it to be double that.
I had a quick google for 'Romanian Recruitment Agency UK' and there are several that come up. It might be worthwhile you doing that and sending your CV to all of them too?
-
The accomodation may be a tiny room in a shared house.
-
@ hoolahoop, Yes, I have my degrees translated in english since 2014. My degrees are: Control and Expertize of Food Products, and Special Technologies in Food Industry.
I can post my cv here, even if it's personal. Only my address, phone number and email are in the cv, not other personal details.
@ wilts rover, I applied at some agencies that seems legit. The problem is that many romanian recruitment agencies are not. There are some websites (here) where people told that they contacted that agencies, they had at interview at the agency headquarters, they had to pay 300-400 pounds and the agencies told them to wait their call...and they waited, and waited, and after that they went to the agency headquarters and didn't found nothing there....Even my father was tricked like this a few years ago
