    How to find work in London without losing your marbles

    This week, we chat through the mistakes to avoid when it comes to finding work in London and ask some key questions like: Should you settle for a job that makes you sad? Is working for 40k AUD legal? Is it normal for it to take months to find a job despite having two degrees?!?! Plus, we chat a cheap and cheerful Dalston restaurant, a mediocre pub around the corner adored by Aussies, and the app you need if you don't understand what north is. HOUSE OF MOMO (VEG AND CHEESE PLS) ARMY AND NAVY PUB (it's a no from me) WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE GUARDIAN JOBS CITYMAPPER (ONYA SELENA!) SOME SERIOUS STUFF: If you do struggle when you’re in London, know you have plenty of people to talk to and that you won't feel this way forever.

    Your guide to moving to London. Welcome to Mind The Gap.

    Welcome to Mind The Gap, your guide to moving to London. Having recently returned home after 2.5 years in London, I thought it was about time I shared my wisdom - and MANY mistakes - and unpacked everything you need to know about moving to the UK from Australia. Over this series, you'll learn the boring stuff, like how to get a visa, how the healthcare system works, and how to set yourself up to land a job when you arrive. You'll also learn the fun bits, like making friends, travel hacks, and the best London pubs to add to your list. Plus, we'll have some serious chats about handling homesickness and mental health challenges when you're so far away from home. It's the insider's guide to moving to London I wish I'd had before I made the move. I'm so happy you're here - now let's get you to London!
