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.

DMC, do you have a driving licence?

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.

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.

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.

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.
