There were million nice and great things that happened to me while I was in London, but working - wasn't one of them(((
Let's just say I wasn't really lucky in that department) It was tremendously hard to find a job and impossible to stick to it and not to get the boot. I am a very hard-working person and try my best to learn quick, I am responsible - I would have died if I got late for work or haven't done my job properly, I was so young and enthusiastic, so hopeful and ready to dive into the world of working men, maybe that was the thing - I cared too much and tried too hard. I stayed in the country legally and had all the rights to work. So the reasons for failing all the way was not the language (which I study all my life to bilinguacy !) and not the documents, and mind you I knew very well what kind of job I could afford as a young foreigner ! no inadequate searches for a general manager post))))
So many interviews - failed, I never thought that I would hear such remarks in my life!!! One man told me that he didn't have any job for me at all (even the cleaning lady post - he pointed that out !!), and he said that I couldn't complain cause if he knew Russian like I knew English (sorry the 15 years of studying my brains out) he wouldn't get any job even the one where you needed to know two words literally. That was the punch to my gut! I felt like real shit, though I knew despite all Brits "good" feelings to the numerous numbers of new-comers, that remark was TAD unfair. I got the whole London working scene in several months and didn't let myself be offended that much but still got several slaps on my face.
The policy is very clear, there is no way anybody will admit that you are any good, cause
1)who wants the competition?
2)you have to feel like a loser and the worst worker they've ever had, to think that they are really saving your worthless life by giving you any job at all
3)who doesn't want an idiot who will do everybody else's job and got punished for it later just for the whole amusement at the end of the day (((
4)there are periods when even the most devoted employees have to be sacked - the company can't pay their staff when, say it's not busy, like in winter and I get that, but why can't you just say that - it's so obvious!!! why do you have to fire me for "the reason" that I am the worst worker on the Planet???
5)despite being overflowed with foreigners - you all could have just said hi to me after working in one office or hotel or restaurant for over 6 months(((
The list goes on but I gotta say, now I know that that was not as bad as it seemed, many people had a point, and I simply had to grow up and suck it up(((That's the brutal rules of adulthood. But I had some hard times acknowledging it and my thoughts of Brits wasn't high sometimes, I was hurt badly and couldn't help but think "Oh, you guys are so fake!with your politeness and your fake smiles, and your fake acceptance of people around you"... Wow that still sounds bitter, but I have to honestly tell how mad I felt at times.
As I said I loved many things, met amazing people, British and Irish, Eastern European, African, American, Latin and Indian, had a lot of fun, traveled across the country and appreciated the culture and the amazing weather - I don't know why some people complain about it??? But the job scenery was mostly - AARGH)))
