Hi all. My fiance and myself live in Northern Ireland and are desperate to move away. We are trying to find out what our options are, and are considering mainland Europe. He is a truck driver, and also has extensive experience in the construction industry, and has worked as a chef. I am a support worker (learning disabilities/mental health), I also have loads of bar/waiting experience. We'd be prepared to do any kind of work that we could get. I was wondering if anyone could offer some advice as to where in Europe may be a good place to find work? Neither of us speak a second language. Any help, advice or tips graetly appreciated!
Thank you all so much,
Judith

Hi, I can't speak for the rest of Europe, but it's not the time to come to France, with high unemployment (reaching 20% in some areas), esp. if you don't speak French. Sorry to be negative, but the economic crisis here isn't favourable to expats, priority would be given to French job-seekers.
Better to aim for an English-speaking country, or Scandinavia or the Netherlands, where they all speak English, if you'd prefer not to be too far from friends and family.
Good luck!
