hi Nessie

thanks so much for writing back to me

I am currently working in retail but I am happy to do any type of work that will pay for my accomodation and allow me to save.

how hard was it for you to get a bank account when you arrived, I have heard that it csan be time consuming and very hard?

how did you find your job and what kind of work do you do?

where in the UK are you located and why did u pick that spot

i know it is alot of questions but if you could help that would be great

thanks
amanda

I'm currently living/working in London so feel free to ask me any questions.

For accomodation, you can rent your own room in house or an apartment etc. Most places come furnished. Check out the site www dot gumtree dot com (sorry unable to place links here).

As for work, you haven't mentioned what field you are in so I can't really help you here. A good site for jobs is www dot jobserve dot come.

Being 24 you will be able to apply for the working holiday visa. They keep changing the rules so check if you are able to work the full 2 years or not. To apply for the tier one, you will need to have a masters.
