In reply to Andrei Shaiko. Andrei, I do not have details on jobs in the UK for you. I'm sorry, but that is not in the realm of my expertise.

I am eager to relocate to UK, near London for awhile (at least for seven or nine months), just after September 2010.
Questions are:
Is it fairly easy for me to obtain a job in UK?
How to find a company near London who offering air ticket, accommodation and visa fee??
How to recognize the legal company in UK???

I've got Karen Burn's book. What a treat. She writes 59 real life lessons you can take with you and apply. She addresses sexual harrassment, lack of confidence, office politics, fellow employee envy and many more. Each lesson is about 3 or 4 pages and with her whimsical writing style serves as both education and entertainment. I'll be writing a CareerJockey.org book review soon and will be giving my wife and three daughters each a copy very soon. .-= Jorge Lazaro Diaz´s last blog ..Thrill Seekers, Job Hunters and Souls Seekers Have So Much in Common =-.

I’m constantly scouring the Internet looking for job hunt resources to share with my online job seeker audience. I have a book review category at my site (see http://www.careerjockey.org/category/book-reviews/) with almost two dozen reviewing books. I will be adding a post later this evening referencing your comments on “Amazing Adventures.” It seems like a great resource for my readers.

Thanks for the great material.

Thanks, Miriam, for the wonderful write-up.

As per “experts”: I have a thing about people calling themselves experts–eeveryone does, it seems, at the drop of a hat! So I purposely do not call myself a career expert. I’m someone who has had a lot of work experience and written about jobs/career/work for a number of years (a weekly column for U.S. News & World Report in addition to “the book”).

Does that make me an expert? I don’t know.

Should people believe & heed the words of experts? Ha. I think when you are trying to learn anything it’s good to read a lot, talk to a lot of different people, apply your own knowledge of the world and your good common sense–and then decide for yourself.
