To successfully obtain a job in the UK, you either have to be a British National, or be a person who has been granted the entitlement to work in the country. It pays to be prepared before you start your job search, regardless of where you are from.

UK Citizens

UK citizens will know their home job market fairly well.  You probably know that the best way to be job hunting in UK is to find someone who is willing to vouch for you and talk about what a good worker you are. The UK places as much importance on a good quality reference as US employers, so make sure you have someone to vouch for you.

If you want to get into something like police careers, you will definitely need high recommendations and training. UK citizens should shortlist their ideal employers and make contact with them.  After you have good references and your resume, you can start applying for jobs. Use your personal contacts and online resources to find what is available.

Not A U K Citizen?

There are many things to consider for non-British citizens looking for a job in the UK. First of all, if you are moving to the UK for a specific reason, you should first talk to persons there who is in your field to find out information on the types of jobs available.  Look for contacts in internet forums, trade magazines, and classified ads, and ask any of your personal contacts in the UK to put you in touch with people.  It is possible that they will know of job vacancies which would suit you.

Many multi-national companies will have branches in your home country as well as in the UK. You can ask U.S. employers if they have any vacancies in their UK offices.  This could lead to valuable contacts.
