Hello,

my name is Julia, I am 28 years old and I am from Germany.
3 years ago I fell in love with the most wonderful man I've ever met. He is from Great Britain. Since we know each other I am looking for a job in the UK. It is hard, to see him only a few times in the year, when you know that you want to spend the rest of your life with the person. The last 3 years i tried everything possible to find a job but I am still failing. That is the reason why i try here to ask for help, because I dont know what else I could do. I am desperate!
All I need is someone who gives me the opportunity to prove, what I can accomplish. I know, Germany and Great Britain both suffer from the economic crisis and that finding a job can be a challenge. I was told here, that I could come to the UK without a job and still would get money from the country but I am not the kind of person. I am responsible for myself and i want and need to earn my own money.
Here in Germany I work as a nurse for the elderly and as a care assistant. I looked for a job in news papers, online on job sites and on the website of the jobcentre UK. I found offers that were suitable and I sent my applications to them. Sadly I recieved rejections saying that some of my papers will not be accepted in the UK. I went to the jobcentre here and asked them about it, they also asked someone who works for a british jobcentre and in the end, I was told, that I am only allowed to use a few of my papers and I have to start over in the UK. I dont have a problem with starting over, all I need is someone who gives me a chance to.
As I said, i worked in the care sector. It is the best job I can imagine. I love to help people and to care for them. Its the perfect job for me but I am aware that I cant confine myself thereon. So far I worked dayshifts and nightshifts. Did everything a nurse for he elderly has to do. To be honest, I never thought about doing something else before I had to. Now i also look for jobs in home economics, cleaning sector, office jobs and others. Certainly I will need training but I am convinced, that I can and will overcome this hurdle. I really would try to do every possible job. It doesnt matter if it is halftime or fulltime. Unfortunately I dont have a driver's license and some jobs need it. I would get it but before I need to make money so I could make it. It's a circle I cant break through at the moment.

I will be in the Uk from 29.07.2012 - 03.08.2012
If there is anybody out there, who could help me,
I really would appreciate everything that could help me to find a job so I can start a life with the man I love.

The area is Birkenhead, Liverpool

many many thanks!!!!

Julia

Why doesn't he try to get a job in Germany if you're finding it that difficult?

julia, jobs are hard to find its true, but care homes, are desperate for carers all hours to suit, no experience needed, all areas are short of carers, adverts in jobcentres and papers, you could take your pick

http://jobseekers.direct.gov.uk/ Job ref WSQ/143233 just found this a german customer service advisor in liverpool

Your English is better than most of ours! Why don't you try a job as an interpreter? Much better pay than the poor care workers earn.

You beat me to it Granny! Yes, an interpreter's job was the first thing that came to my mind. Even a part time job as an interpreter might be better paid than a carer in the UK. The care home business in the UK and probably elsewhere, is a penny pinching all for profit set up now - sad to say.

I too commend your excellent English Julia.

Pinz und Oma, um wieder in der Versenkung, deine Zeit ist noch nicht bis zur Freigabe, könnte sie sprechen gut Englisch, aber was ist mit meinem Deutsch, einfach, wenn Sie Google-Übersetzer, viel Glück mit dem Mädchen haben.

@ bert1, in case you used google translator ... I have no clue what you meant because what you wrote makes no sense.
I dont use any translators, its a practice when i look online, most of it is in english. and thank you for all the nice words from you all

Julia,

As long as it makes no sense to Pinz and Granny that's all that matters, Google translator is rubbish and I advise you to stay well away from it.

lol ok

It seems very strange with your power of the English language that you cannot find employment? or maybe this is just a scam ?? sorry but I trust no one anymore.

Well it impressed the what not out of me Bert.

@ phlegm, well its not a scam i am really desperate to find a job and to be honest, i never knew that my english is that well before you all said that lol.

i would not of known you were not english, you can usually tell when you read a persons messages if english is not there first language, as the others said your written english is very good,wish you well x

Bert
What was the English version

Are you ok hun.What's the German for help and send?

my son is having the same problems here.his girlfriend lives in florida and he wants to move over there and he can only do it if he has alot of cash or something to offer america eg skills
she was going to try and move over here but they way things are it looks like a no go.
will be interesting to see if and how you manage to do it.good luck anyway.
my son has been with his girlfriend for 5 years now and they both travel to see each other

Does'nt ring true I think its a scam,to many violins playing,if she was that desperate she would come over to stay with her bf and find work, strange she should only stipulate work in a care home, maybe its just me I'am with phlegm on this one

Scam who, though? She is not asking for money.

if you love him that much why dont you come over and live off one income, most families do that now, or if you are on more than him he could move over there, stevie wonder could see there is more to this

like really? why on erath should i post that as a scam?!?!?!?!?! casper, i wrote that i didnt think about anything else then working in care before i started to find something else in the uk,least that is what i mean :S If you dont have anything nice to say then leave it. i didnt ask you, i only was hoping that maybe someone could help somehow

Pinz and granny get back into the woodwork, your time is not up yet to be released, she can speak English well, but what about my German, simple, if you use Google translator, good luck to the girl.

there are people in this country finding it hard to find work as it is, ask your fella to go over to you he might find it easier to get work in a bar or supermarket ect

Not to labour the point above, but there's 2 million unemployed in this country already and the Census announce tonight that the population of Britian has jumped higher than ever before to 56.1 million people. Your fella would be better off living with you in Germany.

you need to get intouch with imigration and ask how you can do this.
Not sure they will just let you into britain cause your boyfriend lives here,and as stated there is 2 millions people unemployed here.
My sons girlfriend can not live here with my son even if they had a child and got married the law is strick these days
they have looked into her moving here and at the moment they have been told NO NO NO.once again good luck every case is differant

There's completely free movement between member states of the E.U.; she doesn't need permission to move here or to seek work.

I would like to commend everyone for not mentioning the war....

suspect to me if she had any other line of work i maybe would of believed it, but there is care vacancy's everywhere across wirral so this seems suspect but that's just my opinion no offence intended

Just crept out Bert, Pinz is still gnawing away at the back.
Query: If the girl needs Google translator,then her English can't be good enough to work in a care home?
Sneaking back again now Bert.Only came out to play. Night

You are wrong, someone mentioned it once but I think they got away with it!

Where's Sherlock? There may be a clue here.

NeedHelpPlease you may be living in Germany, but you did not say what your nationality is. Are you German?

Well, maybe i'm just a gullible Duck head?? I love a good romance. Not that anybody will ever get a penny out of me!!
The only question, i have/ had thought is "why wiki wirral"?

Is your fella a wiki member? if so, who?

Don't know what the big sob story is for. If you want to live in the UK with your partner then just do it. You done need to have employment if he can support you. Then look for employment whilst you are over here. It's not rocket science.

yes granny i am german

i dont understand why so many ppl think its a scam :S i dont ask for any mony or w/e, all i was hoping for was somone who could help me ... and why here? well, i thought because its the wirral area it is the right place, i am sorry if i was wrong,i didnt intent to do the wrong thing

of course there are many vacancies, but the whole care system is a different then the german one :S they ask for NQ 2 or 3 and other things that dont exist in germany

I served in Germany, sorry to say Julia but you dont ring true, many questions to be asked, why Wiki,who put you in touch ?

50 shades is a good romance,

We can see on the new members list that you joined yesterday as NeedHelpPlease, this morning you are Julia1984. How did you do that over night ???

yesterday i tried and tried to put a name in whne i registered and ialways got the message that name is used already and i need help is kinda not a name so i tried a few more and changed it this morning

@ casper but i am i dont know what else to say or to do all i wanted here is to ask for anybody who might be able to help me with a link or a name or w/e, im from germany, i am currently in germany, will be in the uk next week, wat makes it so hard to believe? i dont understand, i tried so many things and i found this site on google, i thought it could be a good idea to do it but obviously it wasnt cuz u ppl dont think i am real even though i dont get why

http://www.facebook.com/Hopelez since you dont believe me that i am real, here is my fb, i have no other idea to prove that i am real

Julia,
Ever thought of applying for work with Aldi? From what I understand, they pay well and your native language might come in handy for the boss. They seem to have no shortage of supermarkets on the Wirral. I can't understand your problem. There are plenty of Polish people living on the Wirral who seem to have no trouble finding work. Lots have two jobs.

did someone call. Igave up on this from the beginning as to me somethings not running right here as previously stated " why did you pick on wiki"

lol i am really sorry that i picked the wrong thing, i thought its alright on here because when i came to this page via google i saw postings of other people and i really thought it would be ok if i try to. do you ppl really think i have nothing better to do then what? sitting here, thinking about a story and what next? i never even thought that someone could react like this. i mean i thought i am allowed to post that here but idk now anymore

strange as both profiles state you joined at 1.58 on same day

huh wat profiles? i made this one and changed the name this moring :S i got the approval mail. i never made 2

Julia/I need help. before you get any higher on your horse yes the good peeps on wiki do TRY TO HELP but in the past there have been many posts that do cause suspician in our minds. yesterday you had two posting that were virtually word for word under 2 different screen names and today your using a third screen name.Please do not insult the good peeps on wiki.

i never intended to do anything like that i swear i posted on here because i thought it is ok to do so. and now i was told i have 2 profiles but i dont. i created the ineedhelp one yesterday. today in the morning i kept trying to change the name because its weird to have ineedhelp as a name and it was approved. i dont know about a second one. i am really sorry if you people are offended but i came to this page, read post from some ppl and thought it is ok when i try it. i keep sending applications everyday, i look through all pages with job offers i can find. i never thought that asking for help could cause so much trouble :S i never asked for money or idk what else, i asked for maybe a link, or an adress, you know what i mean. i am really sorry if everybody understood me wrong

i never insulted anyone :S i am the first time in a forum, when i created my profile i posted the text and didnt see it was under help&feedback. sso i posted it again in lifestyle but i still dont understand why you say i have 2 or 3 different names. i created 1 account, i changed the name this morning.

Post a photo of you and Timo Glock holding up a piece of paper saying 'Wikiwirral is full of crazy jerks' and I'll believe you...

someones desperate for help but they hide off line

Julia I just tried your F/B page but it's unavailable?? very strange!!

FB page works for me but dont worry guys your not missing much

Think you need to be logged into Facebook.

be careful what you post peeps as you can see i made two comments today (neither insulting) and i just received this pm

time this was locked I think

How about just simply getting it back On Topic?
The lady made a legitimate request, surely?

the fb page has now been cleaned up surprise surprise

How is this a scam? please explain yourself or keep your opinions to yourself!!!!!!

Is it not fecking obvious why wiki Wirral it's where she wants to move to! Tell you what Julia ask in wiki London for a job in Wirral!

Maybe he can't support her!! It's not rocket science!

This seems like a windup to me. Too many new members suddenly registering and commenting. The offensive PM sent to Rox smacks of someone not liking their silly little prank being revealed. Also the Facebook page could belong to any random German lady.

What does that prove? Maybe she doesn't want idiots like you looking at private stuff!

It also doesn't prove she's real. And you seem far too agitated for some random poster. SJ methinks!

Windup? Are you for real? Is your life so sad and empty you have nothing better to do with your time? It's a person asking for help/advice on finding a job on a forum dedicated to the area she wishes to live in! Why do idiots find that so had to believe?

keep ya hair on!

too many new members who know their way around this site too easily methinks previous members who have been removed from wiki ( answers on a postcard )

Topic closed.
