Hi there..i'm wondering and wondering..i'm italian and i have some friends living in London..not really speakin english..since they came to London they started working as waiters but they keep saying to me stuff like... because of the recession we're loosing our shifts..situation is bad..blabla...the fact is...it's summer so i think London should be full of people lookin for a job...that's way i'm thinkin to move on in November or December..do you think is gonna be better than now?Or is it really true there's such a bad work situation?I lived already there and i worked with an english agency..cant say my english is fluent but almost. Probably i may be luckier to find a job!bye

I'd say the job situation is bad regardless of season. In autumn you have the universities starting and students looking for part time work. It may be easier to find waiter jobs in the follow to Christmas? That's when the restaurants and bars are at their busiest

retail shops tend to hire temp staff in the run up to Christmas.

What are the chances of finding a job in the UK should I come there today? I see Gumtree is full of jobs, and with the attitude of some English towards work surely there should be a possibility?

I have previously been in the UK and would like to come back, not afraid of hard work or physical labour etc.

Thanks for the compliment. Always good to be complimented by a Brit. And not without a visa, with a British Passport (black market bought of course), per say.
