The City of Opportunities
London – a multicultural city and the largest urban zone in the EU, residence to the Queen of England Elizabeth II and the financial capital of Europe does not only have a population of 8 million plus but also boasts some of the world’s booming industries, making it compete with major players in the working world such as New York and Beijing. The city not only has some of the best tourist attractions in Europe such as Big Ben, the London Eye and Buckingham Palace, but also has a thriving and vibrant working environment that can allow one to develop the skills needed to succeed in the business world.
For many who are looking for careers during this time of economic downturn where many are struggling to find work suitable for their skills or qualifications, it is no surprise that many have opted to work for free in forms of placements (usually 6-12 months) or internships (usually 1-6 months) in order to gain valuable experience to secure permanent job positions, and London is arguably a favourite for not only recent graduates but experienced professionals looking to branch out into different industries.
