Hello
Hi,
I'm not British, nor am I an expat. Yet.
I joined in hopes of finding out more about the travails and the successes of moving somewhere.
I'm from the EU, so I'm guessing that the business around Visas shouldn't be that different.
Cheers,
Joshua

Re: Hello
In all honesty, I've always fancied moving to England. The countless hours spent in front of Cartoon Network made me fall in love with the language. I've always thought of the USA as a bit much.
Haven't really decided yet.
Maybe UK, The Netherlands or Australia. Depending on the economic situation (among other things).
I seem to be headed in the opposite direction as most people on this forum.

As a member of the EU, migrating to the UK should be straight forward, but without a desired occupation, finding employment might be difficult. Do you have any qualifications that would help migration / job hunting?

As I grew older I noticed that the shows and the announcements were not quite the same. Also we were taught British English in school, not American English. Come to think of it, I also took an English class in kindergarten. Love at first...sound, I guess.I am a couple of exams (and a diploma) away from getting my bachelors degree in Mechanical engineering.
I am a bit worried, however, that this is a position that an English employer would rather fill with an English person. I hope I'm wrong.
I do have a question, would it make more sense to look for a job through EURES or a local employment agency (or both)?

Re: Hello
Yes, I know, but I was 5 (or something) at the time. Didn't quite catch the differences between the two languages.

Come to think of it, I also took an English class in kindergarten. Love at first...sound, I guess.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I'll be sure to get in touch if I'll need help.

If your interest is in the UK, try asking about recruitment here - http://britishexpats.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=61
Other countries are likely to need visas, and experience.

Re: Hello
I think in your position I would concentrate on completing the degree first.

But the day I hang my degree on the wall will be the day I will start to actively pursue immigrating.
Thanks for your concern.
I'll look it up. Thanks!
