30's in London? YES YOU CAN!

Ezio, one of our Italian customers, has been working in a telecommunication company in the north of Italy, until it closed due to the economic crisis.

Bored of the Italian economic context, Ezio decided to come to London and change his life!
How? Thanks to Come2England.
Without knowing anyone in London and with a basic English knowledge, he decided to call us and asked for help.

The results?

In less than one week Ezio has found a job in a Turkish Restaurant. He is now very satisfied with both Come2England team and his employer who is spending time training him and who is also very patient regarding his "work in progress" English level.

Future plans?

Becoming the Manager of the Restaurant as a return for the employer's faith in him!!

.....We are happy for you Ezio, you are doing it right! :)

Carlotta, 17 years old, and in London!!!

Today! We would like to introduce you, Carlotta, 17 years old, from Rome. A girl who - thanks to her courage and entusiasm - has decided to come to London alone, to improve her English.

Which were her reasons you might wonder....

To have an important experience to grow up and mainly to improve her CV.

Carlotta is taking part to a Onu's project and she needs a good English. For this reason, instead of doing her holiday at the sea as all her friends are doing, she is in London.
She has found a job which allows her to live in London autonomously.

The right investment!!
Arrived in London for 2 weeks, Carlotta is satisfied of Come2England because after only two days from her arrival she has found a job which allow her to pay her London's life.

.....greeting from the job place!! :)




                                

The smiley face of Philippo, the right prize for our job!

WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO COME TO LONDON?
I decided to come back to London to improve my English skills because English is essential to work in the sector that I wish. I've already been to London 2 years ago but I came back to France because the experience was not good. However, my dream is to work in the United States so I have to speak English fluently. That is why I decided to come back to London, to have a second chance.


HOW DID YOU FIND COME2ENGLAND? WAS IT EASY? WHICH WAS YOUR FIRST IMPRESSION?
I contacted Come2England via Facebook and I could talk with people who ran the profile (Nathalie and Anissa). They explained me the goal of the agency and I signed a few days later.

ARE YOU SATISFIED WITH OUR SERVICES? WOULD YOU TRUST US AGAIN?
My story is simple, in addition to the job assistance; I took a week of English courses which helped me to improve my level. Then, the agency got me an interview for a restaurant where I work today.

DO YOU THINK WE SHALL IMPROVE SOMETHING? IF SO, WHAT?
I am very satisfied and I don’t think I have anything bad to say about the agency. If I had to redo it, it would be with pleasure, I even recommend the agency.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR FUTURE PLANS..

I have many projects. For now I want to stay in London and then, I want to go to Germany for my future job.


                                          

Nicolo with his English Certificate



This is Nicolo', with his English Certificate of Come2England.


Today, he has taken his last lesson in our office, and then he wanted to have a talk with us, so we thanked him for that.

He started his London's adventure as our others clients, coming to London to improve his English and maybe to have a working experience.

He contacted with our agency because his friends had a good experience with us before, and they recommended Come2England for the good service provided, the professionalism and the availability.

Now, Nicolo's experience has almost finished due to his university course which starts soon in Italy. Nicolo is satisfied with the service and the English course, and he wouldn't doubt taking another weekly course.
All considered, the balance is really positive! One exception, Giada's music in the office "the 883"!!!

Here isMaxime´s experience with Come2england!!

Here is the of Maxime.

"Arriving in London on April 8, I had poorly organized my trip (unhealthy accommodation, sharing with 8 French, no English school available, no English phone number, no English CV to get a job etc.). It is seeking a new collocation in Bethnal Green that I knew Come2England agency. For a very reasonable price, they offered me:
A direct link with an English renowned school attached to the British Council.
An assistance to complete my CV and many addresses where to apply
SIM card (required)
Interviews and meetings to understand how to get a job according to our requests.
    
All this in less than 48 hours.

Come2England clearly helped me to start this new rewarding experience allowing me to significantly increase my level of English. You have to be motivated to deposit your CV, but if you do it seriously it does not take you more than a week to find a job. I found my first job in a bar only two days after my arrival! ".
                                  

Francesa: Thank you Com2England!

I've been in London since a few days and I've already started to enjoy it.

 

Living an experience abroad has been my dream for ages, and as in Italy the economic situation is not good I decided to come to London. Coming here, anyway, wasn't easy, because i thought " How can i go there to work if i don't speak English?".

 

I started to search in some Agencies  services which may be useful to start a life in such a big city like London. The only reliable answer which i found was Come2England. At the beginning i was full of doubts because in Internet you can read a lot of things that makes you feel suspicious.

 

That's why I could spoke with Come2England's staff as many times as I need before buying a package. So, I could speak them with Skype, Facebook, Telephone. After that, I found out that to book a package,  you can pay just a small amount of advice and pay the rest later. I was sure it was the right thing to do then.

 

Now I'm here and all was simply perfect, the staff, the service and my room too. Yesterday I started an English course with Kirsten (Come2England's Teacher) and she is very kindly and helpful.... I've also won the last Photo Competition that Come2England did one week ago to celebrate their 4000 fans!!

 

Would I repeat the experience again? YES!!!

Is it possible to find a job in London in one week?

This is a 1 million dollar question, you know!!!

Not bad at all!!!....Congratulation to them…and to us!!!! :)



Are you looking for a London experience??

During one of our "feedback check" to control our customers' satisfaction, we had an interesting conversation with Cristina F, 21 from Bergamo who claimed to be very happy and satisfied with her Come2England experience.

Cristina has really amazing plans for her future career but that will require her a fluent English. She decided that the best thing for her was to study English here in England and asked us some help to find a way to study and work in London in the cheapest and easiest way.

Considering her past experience, we recommended her our Au Pair program (known as nannies, cleaner or baby sitter). After two months Cristina is telling us that she's very happy about her decision to trust Come2England and save time in the search of a job as a waitress (which wasn't really for her), instead she's very satisfied with her Nanny job in this wonderful family where's she's taking care of two baby girls having accommodation and a weekly pocket money.

Are you interested in this kind of experience?
