Internship and job in London? David did it!

Internship and Job in London? Everything is possible! Read the story of David, our Spanish naval engineer:

Hello David, can you tell us about yourself?

My name is David, I’m from Barcelona and I’m 26 years old.

I have a degree in naval engineering and I came to London for an internship experience. Thanks to Come2England I was able to find a work placement in my sector and a part time job!

How did you contact us?

I don’t remember how it started but my first contact with Come2England has been by Facebook.

Why London?

I choose London because the internship offer was here and I thought it was a good opportunity to improve my English and gain a valid international experience for my CV and future career.

How long did it take you to find a job?

When I first contacted you I was in Spain, it took you just two days to find a company suitable for my internship requirements. Once I arrived in London I started to drop my cv in the places you were recommending me and after just a week I got a part time job as a waiter in a hotel in the City Centre.

How is your internship going?

It is really good! I’m working part time in an international architecture studio as project manager. I’m taking care of a project regarding the renovation of an old boat into luxury rooms, something like a “house-boat”. Basically we are trying to make this old boat into a comfortable and luxury accommodation on the dock. The owner has specific desires and demands and I’m trying to satisfy all his need while contacting proper suppliers for glasses, windows, Jacuzzi and thermal isolation materials. Actually I have more duties as project manager than engineer but that’s what I like the most of this experience!

How is your accommodation?

I’m staying in a student residence in Southwark. It’s very nice, really central (zone 1) and the best thing is that I can just walk to go to work!!! At the moment I’m sharing a twin room with another Chinese boy, he’s very shy but it’s fun staying with him and facing a culture different than mine!  Also the price is very nice as I’m paying around £150 per week but I have a lot of facilities.

What about your part time job?

Thanks to your help I found a job during the weekends as a waiter in a hotel in Central London. The job is quite heavy as I’m working 12h per day on Saturdays and Sundays but it is allowing me to stay here and earn some money to manage my internship so I really can’t complain!

Are you satisfied with our services?

I am grateful for your help! Even it is a paid service it is definitely worth it as I’m sure I could have never done all of this on my own!

Helena's experience in London

Today we are going to introduce you to Helena.

Helena came from Spain to London with the aim of working and improving her English, then she saw that Come2England offered many resources to start from the beginning...

She found our agency thanks to a friend who talked to her about us, she searched us on the internet and then she contacted us by email. Her impression during the whole process is that the service received is direct and customized, adapted to her own needs.

Helena paid for the English courses and she is specially happy with the results she had!! She is really satisfied with our system and she has even said that if she went abroad again she would hire our services again, the reason is that our performance is very useful when taking the first step towards an unknown country and a new language.

What are her future plans? She wants to go back to Spain, after having worked in London this summer, to keep on studying. She does not put away the idea of coming back next year or any other, now that she knows London and she has been able to see that it is a city full of opportunities.

We wish you the best Helena! :)

Rocco is 27 and he comes from Italy....He arrived to London in mid July because he wanted to have a new life experience and to improve his English. He wanted to attend an English school so that he could be ready to give the IELTS exam and improve his cv with an official certificate.

He found Come2england through Facebook and he had a great impression from our customer service. He thought "Great!" "I like them!" and after having contacted us he found a job in just two weeks in a restaurant in Covent Garden as waiter!!

Now he is definitely satisfied with our service and says he would take another package even now as it has been very easy to do everything...That really encourages us to keep on working on your goals!

You will wonder what Rocco´s future plans are: First he wants to improve his English and give a plus to his cv with an experience abroad. His future, as many youngsters of his age in Europe, is now uncertain but he would like to find a job in a company which allows him to travel and use languages.

Starting a new life in London

Everything started when we decided to come to London for star our worklife.

In the begining my friend Luigi and I, we came to London to in a proximity future go to Australia to look for a job of our studies in archeology. Until then we need to improve our English.

Once in London, we passed the first week in a hostel.

We reported Come2england agency. That helped us searching a job. Due to our level of Englis that was quite basic, the option of having a support when looking for a job was very interesting for us. And we also looked very interesting all the advice you provide. Not only was convincingly how they work, Giada also gave us a lot of confidence because in such a large city such approach is not very common.

The beginings in this city have not been easy for either.

The first two months have been eternal; doing tests, interviews, going from one place to another without having anything clear.

But finally, a Japanese restaurant call me. I was excited to do the interview and the manager seemed very sincere and humble.

I went to do the test for the position of Kitchen Porter. Happy with me, they told me that they were interested in having me for a week testing, paid. I accept without hesitation.

In the kitchen we were two guys a week to find out which of the two was chosen for the job.

In working hours also told me I would have to cook, even though the restaurant knew that I had no experience as a cook.

Finally after that week of nerves about whether the job could be mine or not, came the good news. I WAS THE CHOSEN!

I appreciate the help of Giada and Evelin for their dedication and the treatment so personal that have given us.

We are very happy with the service Come2england because Luigi and I have found a job, thanks.

Trust us!

Today we want to tell the story of Filippo, who found a job through our Come2England.
A few months ago Filippo contacted us via our Facebook page, saying: 

His English is not better than the English of the average Italian person and he was suspicious of Come2England and agencies like ours. After exchanging a few e-mails with our team members,he dicided to contract our service plus our language course, but he was still a bit suspicious. 

Two weeks later after finishing the language course Filippo managed to find a job with our help and now is more than happy he choose Come2England and not any other agency. This is the message we received from him: 

Thanks to our English courses, the effort of our team and his positive attitude, Filippo found a job at the restaurant Marquis in the heart of London (Westminster)!

You can trust us that we will do our best to help you, the rest is up to you!
