| 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 |

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. |
