The field that you are seeking a job in requires above par communication skills as opposed to getting a technical job.

So try to look and talk like a British first....your experience and qualifications come second!

I will suggest you look for a voluntary job first. This will give you the opportunity of having UK experience.

There are organisations out there that will quickly grab you if they knew you will only be working for them on voluntary basis. Though, they usually support in the form of reimbursement of transportation cost and feeding cost.

You may do this for one or two months and during the time, update your CV and try applying for accounting positions that suit your skills and experience. I can assure you that this will work.

I did it and it worked for me.

taiwookunade can you pls guide us by giving website name or resources where we can look for voluntary jobs?

I dont have list of organisations that offer voluntary jobs. I had to call jobcentre to enquire about organisations that needed voluntary worker in the area of finance and three days later, I got a call from one of them.

Though, I told my employer that my intention was just to gain experience and they did their best in helping me. A month later, they offered me a fixed contract job for two months. And before the expiration of that period, I got different calls from companies.

I am working in one now.
