How does one apply for a job at the Home Office?

Answer 1

This is a very broad question. Getting a job in Great Britain is not fundamentally different than getting a position anywhere else. Start with introspection. Decide what jobs you are qualified to do, and what you want to do. Think carefully about this. Then ask for more help in finding a position in this field. Be persistent. People will give you help (here and elsewhere, or in person) when you approach them correctly.

Answer 2

1. Go to your University's careers website, Do research on the website finding companies that come for the recruitment to your department or school.

2. Attend Fairs (Say Engineering fair, etc). You will get known about lot of companies.

3. Register on job recruitment sites (say Monster, Milkround, graduate prospectus, etc you know). Try premium services on a legal trusted job sites Monster). More chances for a call.

4. Register with consultancies that do services related to your profession and be in touch with them.

5. Till then try doing some professional courses or at-least some part time job which would help you on your reference, experience, etc !!

My experience is exclusively based in Latin America, so bear this in mind.

One very popular way to work abroad is to teach English. If you are a native speaker, this has the added benefit that you are using a natural talent that you have for the native population's benefit, and you are not essentially replacing a local that could do the same job as you.

If you're interested in teaching English and Latin America sounds like a good option, you might find my personal experiences interesting. I came to Latin America in January 2009 with the intention of teaching English, but I felt like I needed to get some kind of training first, partly in order to deliver quality lessons to the students I would be teaching.

As a result, I got a TEFL certificate at a place called the Dunham Institute in Mexico, and I recommend the course highly! It is 4 weeks and pretty intensive, but I needed every minute of it to prepare for my teaching it also helped smooth the cultural transition a bit spending a month in the same corner of the world for my training where I would be working and getting to know the way things functioned (very different to the UK!).

The training had a heavy focus on the practical (they had me teaching in class within a couple of days of starting) and even though it was hard I was a LOT better prepared to walk into a classroom afterward and start doing my thing. I wasn't perfect by any stretch, but my students got a much better teacher than if I would have tried to wing it.

The bit which is probably of greatest interest to you is a new program that the Institute are running now, where after the 4 weeks teacher training you are placed in a local state school to provide English lessons for the students for a month. This means you will be providing a high quality service to the community for which you have been properly trained, and you'll also be setting yourself up nicely for any future work teaching English (if that's what you decide you want to do) by getting experience to add to your training.

If this sounds interesting to you, you can have a look at the Institutes's website below in the Related Link.

University applications in the UK are handled by an organisation called UCAS.

Universities in the UK ask that you meet a minimum required number of "points", called UCAS Points, to be able to enroll in certain courses.

UCAS points are calculated from the grades you received previously. So in college and high school. You will need to go to the UCAS website, register and insert your grades to determine how many points they equal.

You can then look for the university of your choice on the UCAS website and see if you have enough "points" to be able to enroll in the course you want to join at that university. Point requirements differ by university. The more prestigious or popular the university or course is, the higher the point requirement will be for that university.

You can apply to that university through UCAS. The link to the UCAS website is below (you may need to register to see it due to technical difficulties).

If you want to apply to an online university, such as OpenUniversity, just simply visit their website and follow the application procedures. Online universities are easier to get into but are not as "educationally useful" as an actual university.
