Britain: A Land of Opportunity: Best UK Jobs for Foreigners

Britain has an ageing society. About 20% of the population are pensioners.

An ageing society has problems paying it's pensions because there are less people of working age around. To compound matters, there are not enough skilled and hard-working people of working age around than needed. 

The government can do two things. Raise the retirement age for pension, making people work longer. The government has done that. 

Immigration of young, skilled and hard-working people is the other solution.

Britain's Office of Budget Responsibility has found that allowing more than 140,000 immigrants into Britain a year, equivalent to about 7 million people in 50 years, would help increase the overall number of people who are in work and improve public finances. Since 2004, about 1 million Polish people have seized the opportunities available in the UK by moving here.

What about you? Don't be left behind.

What are the areas in which skills shortages exist in the UK? 

Which skilled jobs are desperately in need of foreigners because of the local unavailability of talent? 

In which skilled profession is talent in such short supply that temporary staff can earn as much as £15,000 per week? 

How do some Accountants earn £500 per day? 

Do UK employers like the work ethic of foreigners? 

Are those with foreign language skills in demand? 

What is the government's official view on the UK's skills shortages?

Live, Work and Study in the UK

There are many opportunities in the UK for skilled, hard-working, and young immigrants. Yet not all foreigners are able to take advantage of these great opportunities. Many who stay back in the UK after their studies languish living parallel lives with little or no life satisfaction.

Thinking of coming to the UK to live, work or study?

You may have many practical questions about the UK and you want answers now. You want information on a range of topics connected with your forthcoming life in the UK. You are interested in knowing about life in the UK, jobs, work permits, salaries, and immigration issues, to name a few.

You may also like to know the answers to the following:

What are the chances of your becoming a victim of crime in the UK?

Which cities in the UK are known for high crime rates?

Which universities are located in crime-ridden cities/towns?

What are the dos and don’ts of UK life?

Finding answers by yourself through experience can take you twenty years.

Life is too short for that kind of experiment.

Scanning the internet for information on Britain can be haphazard and lead to a lopsided view of life in Britain.

Even the British Council is not likely to tell you the minus points of life in Britain. They are there to promote Britain not to warn you about the possible dangers lurking in Britain.

Saving your life and helping you make progress in Britain is in your hands.

It is no use asking the British people for advice after arrival. It is difficult for anyone to be objective about their own motherland. 
Plus, it is part of British culture never to give advice.

Mark H. McCormack in his book "What They Don’t Teach You at Harvard Business School" writes, “Most people wouldn’t know opportunity even if it jumped up and down and socked them on the jaw.” In this book there is enough extraordinary information for an intelligent foreign student to secure a top-class scholarship to study in the UK with all expenses paid (fees, living expenses, warm clothing, and air travel to and from the UK). This is a life changing opportunity. Are you savvy enough to take it?

An immigrant and former international student himself he shares his nearly two decades of UK experience with you in this book.

The book answers many typical questions newly-arrived foreigners in the UK ask.

Newly arrived foreigners in the UK are very vulnerable both as victims of crime and as lawbreakers themselves (the latter by being ignorant of the law).

Migrants need to be aware of the law on practical aspects of UK life.

One of the aims of the book Live, Work and Study in the UK by Rajiv Immanuel is to do just that for you.

Being ignorant of the realities of life in the UK can cost you your life. Learn about the realities of UK life in this book and safeguard yourself.

Save yourself time. Don’t reinvent the wheel. Get on with the task you are going to the UK for. Let this book prepare you for UK life. 

All the hard work has been done for you. Arm yourself with the vital information in this book and let your UK life begin on a winning note.

Avoid embarrassments, failures, unhappiness or even tragedy.

Don’t be penny-wise and pound foolish with your life and career.

Don't let a couple of euros or dollars stand between you and success.
