If you are a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_countries">Nordic</a> citizen then you have a <a href="http://www.workingintheuk.gov.uk/working_in_the_uk/en/homepage/your_status/european_citizens.html">legal right</a> to live and work in the UK.<br /><br />Most of the people that <a href="http://www.nordicstaff.com/">Nordic Staff</a> help to find work settle in very quickly - if they come to the UK expecting to work hard.<br /><br /><br />You will need a UK <a href="http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/MoneyTaxAndBenefits/Taxes/BeginnersGuideToTax/DG_4015904">National Insurance</a> (NI) number - you can start work without one BUT you will pay <a href="http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/MoneyTaxAndBenefits/Taxes/BeginnersGuideToTax/DG_4015566">tax</a> at a higher rate until you have your NI number.<br /><br />You will need to get a UK bank account. We hear good things about <a href="http://www.hsbc.com/">HSBC </a>- you can even apply for an account before you move to the UK.<br /><br />We are often asked what the best opportunities are in the UK<br /><br />Presently the staff most in demand are Sales Staff - particularly if you have experience of telesales in the technology sector.<br /><br />If you need advice - just visit our website <a href="http://www.nordicstaff.com/">www.nordicstaff.com</a> and send us your CV.Contact Us:http://www.blogger.com/profile/01775435752026219479noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959292615383226716.post-38632162755252656912009-07-24T11:10:00.000+01:002007-09-11T10:39:21.804+01:00Three Common Job Hunting MistakesHere are the 3 most common mistakes that job hunters make - and slow down their successful search for a new job. Avoiding these mistakes could give you an advantage in the competition to find the right career.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Bad CV</span><br />Only one in 5 CVs that we see do a good job of presenting applicants for the UK job market. Your CV is your 1st contact with agencies and employers - in effect you should think of it as your first interview.. If your CV is sub-standard you will be at a serious disadvantage when job seeking.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Applying for jobs that you are not qualified for</span><br />Job descriptions state what skills, qualifications and attributes the job requires. If you don't match them you will have wasted your time applying for the position - you will find a job through the quality of your applications - not the quantity.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">No covering letter</span><br />This is just plain lazy. Your CV should state who you are, what skills, experience, education and other qualities that you have but the COVERING LETTER tells the recruiter why you should be considered for the job you are applying for. Use this opportunity to show how you match the job requirements. This is our top tip for all job seekers as very few applicants take the time to do it and, if you do, you are more likely to succeed.<br /><br />Finally - if you don't see a job that matches your skill set, write an introductory letter with your CV stating what you are looking for, where you want to work and what salary you are looking for. This will bring you to the top of any recruiters search as we match to specific requirements. If you don't know what you want - how can a recruiter?Contact Us:http://www.blogger.com/profile/01775435752026219479noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959292615383226716.post-89268771859157052922007-12-28T10:54:00.003+00:002010-05-10T17:06:54.225+01:00Links To Nordic Jobs<a href="http://www.nordicstaff.com/job-opportunities/danish-language-jobs/">Danish</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.nordicstaff.com/job-opportunities/finnish-language-jobs/">Finnish</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.nordicstaff.com/job-opportunities/dutch-language-jobs/">Icelandic</a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.nordicstaff.com/job-opportunities/norwegian-language-jobs/">Norwegian</a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.nordicstaff.com/job-opportunities/swedish-language-jobs/">Swedish</a>Contact Us:http://www.blogger.com/profile/01775435752026219479noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959292615383226716.post-80478782529386076492007-09-19T11:53:00.000+01:002007-09-19T11:55:20.118+01:00Blog ClosedNordic Staff's blog for Nordic speakers seeking work has moved to <a href="http://utland.nordicstaff.com">here</a>Contact Us:http://www.blogger.com/profile/01775435752026219479noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959292615383226716.post-90312076922604941482007-06-18T17:13:00.000+01:002007-06-27T17:22:15.271+01:00www.nordicstaff.ieWell - we must be doing something right!<br />One of Ireland's biggest recruitment businesses has started a web site at www.nordicstaff.ie - and covered it in banners making sure that <span style="font-weight:bold;">you </span>know it isn't us.<br /><br />We don't generally recruit for jobs based in Ireland.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">We usually offer people a way out!</span><br /><br />So, if you are Ireland based and are looking to work in the UK, mainland Europe OR want to move back to the Nordics.<br /><br />Register at <a href="http://www.nordicstaff.com">www.nordicstaff.com</a>Contact Us:http://www.blogger.com/profile/01775435752026219479noreply@blogger.com0
