L’apertura di un conto corrente presso una banca londinese è gratuita ed è possibile aprirlo anche versare una minima quota che dipende dalla banca che scegliete.E’ necessario un documento di identità (meglio due), un contratto di alloggio e una lettera del vostro datore di lavoro.
Il conto è tuttavia essenziale per vivere a Londra in quanto i datori di lavoro pagano quasi esclusivamente con un assegno o attraverso transfer bancario.
Quindi riassumendo
Ogni Cv che andrete a presentare o applicazioni che vi verranno richieste per qualsiasi lavoro vi chiederanno sempre i seguenti dati IMPORTANTI ED ESSENZIALI:
· address: ( indirizzo di una casa in Londra)
· NI: NATIONAL INSURANCE NUMBER
· C/C bancario
· Esperienza lavorativa
· Referenze di lavori passati
Il Curriculum e’ senza dubbio la cosa piu’ importante per cercare un lavoro perche’ e’ l’elemento che vi presenta prima di ogni altra forma di espressione, deve essere scritto con un certo criterio, e attenzione, primo perche’( non c’e mai una seconda volta per fare una buona prima impressione ) e poi perche’ lo state scrivendo in una lingua che non e’ la vostra.
Non e’ necessario presentare un CV di molti fogli, non ve li leggera’ mai nessuno e verranno cestinati.
Deve essere il piu’ possibile contranto in max due pagine (meglio una)
Deve contenere solo le informazioni essenziali, che dovranno essere poi incrementate a voce in un colloqui.
Di segui vi diamo dei suggerimenti utili per scrivere un Curriculum vitae come vogliono gli inglese:
Curriculum Vitae
Di seguito riportiamo in inglese ( per rompere il ghiaccio e per farvi abituare subito con la lingua inglese ) delle diretterive su come va fatto un CV per presentarlo ai datori di lavoro a Londra.
What is your CV?
Your CV should:
· be neat, typed if possible and to the best standard you can achieve in content and layout
· be short, two sides of a sheet of A4 paper is normally enough
· be positive, it should emphasise your achievements, strengths, successes and how you have contributed to your employers making a profit (add figures to support facts whenever you can and use positive action words, for example: ‘consulting’, ‘negotiating’, ‘managing’ and so on)
· make a good impression, this means presenting the facts about yourself in a clear and positive way
How to use your CV
To apply to companies to see if they have any jobs available
You can send your CV with a covering letter or email asking if they have any current or future vacancies in your trade. You can find names and addresses of companies in newspapers or in trade or telephone directories.
To remind you what you’ve done
You can use your CV to help you remember all the dates and information each time you have to fill in a different application form.
To help with applications by phone
Having your CV handy when applying for jobs by phone can help if you are asked to give more information about previous jobs. If you have hearing or speech difficulties and use textphone or Typetalk, having a copy of your CV can cut down the length of time you spend making a call.
At interviews
Having your CV with you while you’re waiting to be called in can help you refresh your memory. It is also handy to leave a copy with the interviewer if they do not already have one.
Registering with recruitment agencies
Agencies may sometimes ask to see your CV before you can register with them.
What to include
There is no set format. How you present your CV is up to you. However, you should include at least the following:
· your name
· your address
· your phone number
· your email address (if you have one)
· your career history
Put your most recent job first and include dates. Employers will be more interested in what you have done recently. Don’t leave gaps between dates, because employers will want to know what you did during those periods.
If you don’t have much work experience, you could include temporary, holiday, part-time or voluntary jobs too. If you’ve had many different jobs, emphasise the skills and experience you have gained across those jobs (for example, skills in dealing with customers or communication skills).
You don't need to include your date of birth
New laws on age discrimination mean that you do not need to put your date of birth, or your age, on your CV.
Here are some examples you may want to include:
A personal profile
This is a short statement at the beginning of your CV to sell yourself, to show your skills, experience and personal qualities. You could include positive words such as ‘competent’, ‘adaptable’, and ‘conscientious’. Tailor the statement to the requirements of each job that you apply for, so that you make it clear to the employer that you’re the right person for the job.
Achievements
Mention things you did well in your past jobs which could be relevant to the job you’re applying for.
Qualifications and training
Include any qualifications and training from previous jobs (for example, training in health and safety or a certificate in food hygiene), put the most recent first, include qualifications you got from school or college.
Interests
These can support your application if your hobbies and leisure activities highlight responsibilities and skills that are relevant to the job you’re applying for, perhaps you belong to a club or society which you organise activities for, or you use leadership skills or teamwork as part of the activity.
Other information
It is up to you whether to include this, but it can be helpful if there are gaps in your CV. If you had a career break because you were caring for children or elderly relatives, make this a positive thing and think about the skills you used doing this. If the job you are applying for is different from what you have done in the past, explain why you are interested in the new type of work.
References
You may not want to include these details on your CV but it’s good to have two or more people who can provide a work or personal reference. Ideally, one should be your most recent employer but if you haven’t worked for a while it could be someone who has known you for a long time who can comment on your qualities in relation to the job. You should ask the person to agree to this beforehand.
Ask a friend or relative to read through your CV to make sure it is accurate and that it shows your skills in a positive way.
