Introduction
Welcome to the 7 steps to Finding Work in the UK.
First of all, congratulation on doing your research about working overseas and/or backpacking Europe. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity that you should not miss out on and could change your life forever.
My name is Daniel Hardie and I too backpacked Europe and found work in the UK. I left Sydney to start my backpacking experience in Rome and travelled through Italy, France, the Netherlands and Germany before landing in London, in the hope I would land a job.

I knew this meant that I needed to find work at some point of the trip so I organised my work visa and headed off to Rome to start my travels.
When I arrive in London, I didn’t waste any time. I set up interviews with various recruiters and went to a seminar on living in London. This seminar, in fact was where I found employment, which paid quite a decent salary.
Before landing a job however I was beginning to run low on funds and had to find more ways to save money in order to keep me a float until I could find a job. This was a little daunting and I had intense feelings of anxiety. I had no idea if I was even going to get a job… and that would have meant having to return back home.

My UK working experience was working for a company called 1st Contact and if you’ve been researching backpacking Europe then you may have already heard of them.
1st Contact has a few different roles to play when it comes to backpackers and working holiday makers of Europe. The first and most obvious is their kick start package which provides bank accounts, a sim card and a seminar for living in London.
Other roles include creating
