Hi and welcome....I'm not in a position to take anyone on but if I was and your work was good then I see no problem.

Are you looking for work or was that a general 'would we hire a foreigner' question. As whitebeam says, if your work is good etc then why not, I've worked with Polish, Serbian, Czechoslovakian, ............the list goes on, all taken by merit, some where very good, others failed horribly.

Hi and welcome to the forum

 

[Micho]

[Alan.P]

Yeah I know what your saying, good luck with the search.

 

[Andy Allen]

You you get a rubbish wage when you work for someone from your country in England. ......or in your own country. ..?

Welcome

 

[Micho]

yes Andy when i working for someone from my country in England,i got more paid when im working in factory

 

[Andy Allen]

I personally wouldn't employ foreigners.
Imo there are diluting the building trade and driving down prices.
We should be more like Australia where foreign workers are substancialy vetted to make sure they are suitable to be employed.
This would stop the employer taking advantage of them. As your finding out.

This is not directed at you per sie. ...For all I know you could be a great guy.
I just feel our country is becoming overun with foreign migrants and we should be more picky who we let in to work here.

Welcome aboard Micho,

We had this question posted a couple of months ago. I'll try to find it for you. I'm pretty sure most said if the tiling work was up to standard and the tiler was legitimate, then sure, there's no reason not to.

We know just as many British tilers tiling aboard as we know foreign tilers tiling in Britain. So it's swings and roundabouts when it comes to that sort of thing.
