Looking for a job in London

Hi everybody,

I have M.Sc. in Banking & Finance from good German univercity

and worked after Univercity in Derivatives Trading in a top German bank in Frankfurt.

Later after 1 year - crisis - I moved to family business - not banking for 3 years in a good general management role.

I just moved from Germany to London,

and applying now for jobs in mostly Asset Management/Private banking

but also Fixed Income/Derivatives Sales etc.

I have good M.Sc., I am fluent in 6 languages including “hot” Emerging Markets languages:

French, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian and I am numerical, etc.

German national - so no visa required to work in UK.

I am applying to both banks and recruiters.

Unfortunately, I dont get lots of calls/interviews.

Its already 4 weeks,

I uploaded my CV to all major UK sites

EFC, monster, Cityjobs, etc

I sent CV to most banks and major recruitment agencies: Michael Page,

Robert Walters, Hays, etc etc

I also go for all networking events, talked to people from banks, etc.

I really want to find a prestigious placement, money is not my priority at all

Do you guys have any tips?

London definitely is my top location.

Thank you very much in advance

Peter,

Keep trying mate, 4 weeks is not a very long time. Be patient. Try to apply for jobs that require specific languages.

Or speak to the German community there in London.

London headhunters are the worst kind).
