Any advice on UK employment opportunities in consultancy for a Polish girl?

Hey!

I'm Polish, currently working as an analyst in energy sector in Poland. I'm fed up with my distance relationship so I'm planning to move to UK within next 3 months and get a job in management consultancy preferably. I have various international consulting and management experience (specially in market entry, investment location and entrepreneurship) and multilingual skills but a Polish Master degree.

Any advice on companies that could be interested in hiring somebody with knowledge of Eastern European markets?

Poland joined the EU earlier this year, right? That means all (or at least all that I know of) UK companies will not differentiate between you and any UK candidates for the open positions - you'll be eligible to apply to any strategy consultancy. I'm not sure which ones would be most interested in your experience, but considering most companies are now hiring again, it's certainly worth contacting them to find out...

Be warned - any outfit extending you an offer will be stupid if they don't use your skills - in Poland! What use is Polish speaking in the UK??! This may not solve your 'distance relationship' problem. You might want some assurances of a training period here in the UK for say 6 months before they post you back.

try WS Atkins in Epsom in Surrey. They are an engineering based consultancy, and work world wide. They will be interested in both your analytical skills, particularly in energy
