Titolo: A job in England

I've just come back from England where I had a 3 weeks English course in
Worcester.
My plan now is to find a job in London or in another city and stay there for
at least six months.
I would like to work as a receptionist in a hotel.
About London, is there somebody who can suggest me a good and not expensive
accommodation?
And what about the recruitment agencies? Which ones do you suggest?
Every advise or information could be very useful for me.
Thank you
Lucy

And what about the recruitment agencies? Which ones do you suggest?
No idea, sorry. I hope someone will help you out.
I would love to do the same thing, but in the US. But it's quite
impossible to do it legally. :/

Any *advice*... *would* be very useful...

 good and inexpensive accommodations?
Or "recommend", right?

 Worcester.
Then you are among those few Italians who can pronounce "Worcester"
correctly, aren't you?

 Isn't "help you out" a little too strong?
No, it's a standard idiom. "Can you help me out? I need a few bucks to get
home on the train."
(And then, there's the joke: "I'd like to help you out. Which way did you
come in?"


 Or "recommend", right?
Right. And "accommodation" should be singular.
Più idiomatico (in inglese GB) sarebbe "can anyone recommend some good,
cheap accommodation?"

 Or "recommend", right?
Sure; there's a little difference in meaning ("recommend" has a little more
of a positive implication, but only slightly.)


 cheap accommodation?"
Ok, I guess "accommodations" is AmEng.


 come in?"
Me lo segno.


 come in?"
This reminds me of another joke:
"Hai una Cartina?"
"Perchè ti sei perso?"
"no mi devo perdere"...
In italian "cartina" stays for map and also for the paper used to roll a
joint :-)

It's all in one's point of view.  (But better to say "... stands for..")

Thanks Joey :)

why?
Because the US are not part of the UE, therefore you need a visa in
order to work there. And it's not easy to get one. In fact, it's quite
impossible. I am not talking about "real" jobs. If a company in the US
needs you, you will get the visa. But you can't get a B1 or a B2 VISA
if you want to go *looking for* a job. I would like to spend six
months in the US, but I don't have the money for that. I need to work
while I'm there. I could go there and be a waiter, illegaly. But I
know how I can handle *things that can easily fall*. :)
I was in NY and I was going to clean pools for rich families in NJ,
but the guy who was going to hire me (a friend of my roommate, the cab
driver) disappeard. He had an affair with a girl, left her wife (they
were both on their fifties) and left me alone without a job.

It's not so strong.

 That doesn't mean you're not gonna improve it. :)
- I'm Mr Satterthwhaite. I'd like to book a room?
- Who?? What?? How about phoning again in, say, six months?
Sempre che non ti capiti il tizio della prima puntata di "Fawlty Towers": 
- Go' a room?


 - I'm Mr Satterthwhaite. I'd like to book a room?
No, that's not a question.


- Go' a room?
Ye.
Sebastiano

No, that's not a question.
Yeah. ;)

Or, you could go for a mid/long term volunteering  project in the
States. 
I think you get paid just some pocket money (if any) and  the work is
sometimes heavy, but you might enjoy the experience :)

accommodation?
London is the most expensive place to live in the Uk, especially
accommodation. 

 Law is relative...
Hmmm... I think they are being very strict on immigration these days.

 come in?"
LOL :)

That's what I said in my reply to Ice. (stavo a scherza', perň)

 Bye, FB
Yes :)
I read that if you get caught working illegally in the States, you can
be arrested and deported, your name is put on a black-list  and you
are not allowed to return to the USA for many years.

Thanks, I'll check it out. The point is that I need to survive with
the money I earn. With *survive* I mean: rent, food and a li'l extra
money. I don't need to save money. A lousy job would be perfect. ;)
Sebastiano

 money. I don't need to save money. A lousy job would be perfect. ;)
I believe that residential volunteering projects provide you with food
and accommodation, so you needn't worry about rent and the stuff.
Sometimes they also pay some pocket money, sometimes they ask you for
a small fee.

and accommodation, so you needn't worry about rent and the stuff.
Really? That would be great. I'll read everything I can find about it.

Hai mai pensato di andare a Dublino?  Ti costerebbe di meno e la gente e'
piu' simpatica (io sto a Londra!).  Otre quello, ci sono anche tanti turisti
italiani e percio' un dipendente che sa parlare italiano potrebbe essere
utile ad un albergo.  L' unico problema e' l' accento un po' difficile!  Ho
due amiche italiane che si sono trasferite a Dublino per qualche mese e che
sono riuscite a trovare dei lavori senza tanta difficolta'.
