Sponsorship for EEA Applicants?

Hi guys,

I have a question about work after receiving a RC.

I read a lot about this sponsorship thing which might make it hard to get the job you are looking for.
So i had a little look to find out if it is applicable for people under the EEA route as well.
It seems like only people in the point based system are affected as ukba is writing all about tiers.

Can a person with a eea rc just apply anyway like any eu national ( with exeptions) or british? How does it work?

Many thanks for any help

A residence card holder can work.

Look for a job, the first work they offer you, they will ask you to see your passport, show them your passport and your RC, they will make a copy and keep on file.
Before February 2008, my British employers never asked to check my passport, but since then they have to do it by law.
