Hello, everyone. This is Robert at English 360. I hope you're having a fantastic day. I don't know whether it's morning, afternoon or evening, but today's podcast is about job opportunities. So what I've done is I've gone on to some to a website and I've looked at job opportunities for Italians because a lot of my students and listeners are Italians in the city of London.
Okay. So let's start with some jobs that are being advertised. I posted, you could say on a website and I'll leave the link in the description. So if you are interested you can go for it. And bish bash bosh, you get yourself a lovely job. Okay, so let's start with the first one. So it's a sous chef, I believe it's pronounced sous, sous located on Kensington Park Road
Osteria Napolitano champions the local farmers of Naples whose produce will stock the larders of the osteria to create antica cucina recipes such as linguine al nerano, a pasta with lightly fried courgettes sliced with parmesan cheese originated from the Amalfi Coast. Sister Restaurant to the elegant osteria Romana in Knightsbridge, which is a very expensive area, by the way, posh known for its simple, humble dishes that celebrate Roman produce and culinary history, Osteria Napoletana will do just the same, sharing the local, lesser known dishes of Reitano's origin by way of classic Neapolitan menu and an Italian wine list.
So the restaurant is casual and friendly. They are looking for a sous chef who needs to have one year of experience, good level of English, ability to understand and speak a minimum of Italian. So obviously if you're coming from Italy, that won't be a problem, preferably Italian speaker. If you're interested to be part of our team, you need to send them your CV so they can have a chat with you. Experience is required, employment is full time. The place of employment is City of London. Salary is £33000 to £36000 a year. So that's gross. You need to take the tax off, of course. So let's move on to the next job that I saw. It is junior brokers, Spanish, Italian speakers. Now, brokers are people who handle insurances, in essence.
So sales and marketing, it has had 168 views and it expires in 28 days. At the moment of speaking, our company provide accommodation for professionals and students living in London. As part of our continuous growth, we have opened our new office in Gherkin building in central London. To cope with the post-COVID demand, we are currently hiring for Spanish, Italian or French speakers to join our lettings team.
The work consists of posting adverts of different properties in platforms such as Gumtree, Spare Room, Facebook, etc. answer to the phone calls to gather intelligence and recommend the best rooms to the clients, carry out viewings with the clients, show them the property and close the deal. So if you are really interested in the job, contact us or me, it says. So we arrange an interview as soon as possible. Experience not required employment. Full time salary is a big bracket. £22000 to £57000. I believe that's to do with bonus. So if you close set number of contracts, you get more money. So yeah, so 22K to 57k. Okay, this is in Strand and Whitehall, which is of course Central London.
So these are the jobs for people with Italian language skills. While they may be of interest to you, I'm just going to show you some other jobs in accounting and finance which do not require Italian as a language. So it's just a general job, just to give you an idea of what it's all about. So this this job over here is a tax firm. They are looking for semi senior accountant.
So you need to have some skills in accountancy. You will need to handle independently with regular accountancy service of self-employed person, partnership and limited companies, including but not limited to annual accounts, preparation, payroll, VAT return, workplace pension, etc.. Oh, by the way, English taxation law is way easier than the Italian one, so you don't need to have a degree or a or you don't need to have done a course in NASA to understand accounting law.
You have to be able to answer client inquiries regarding accountancy and tax. You have to be able to deal with HMRC tax investigation. You will have other responsibilities like company management. Okay, so experience is required. Oh, they want Chinese. Okay, no. Good then unless you speak Chinese, of course. Full time salary is £27000 to £30000 per year. Not great because basically with £30,000 a year, if you're getting taxed 10,000 a year, that leads you around not even 1500, 1600 a month.
And in a city like London, that is not very much. Trust me, it's not very much at all. So you want something above two grand a month at least. Let's have a look at other jobs. Let's have a look at retail. Okay. So there's a job for cashier shop assistant. I'm not looking. Okay, let's look at this one.
Cashier This is pretty good for young people. Cashier. Where? Central and no Hoxton West in London to be absolutely 100% sure where Hoxton West is London. So you can't possibly know all the areas. Impossible, literally. I mean, unless you live in London and your job is to make maps of London and that would be okay. You would know London inside out.
But I'm from London and there are many areas I don't know in London, simple, simply impossible to know. So apparently, yeah, it's near the city of London. So that's that. So what's this job about then? We are looking for Cashier at Pizza Union Hoxton just five-minute walk from Old Street Station. We are looking for friendly team members who enjoy being in contact with guests offering great service. Duties will include taking and processing guest orders, preparing drinks, opening and closing bar section, cleaning as well guest tables and help on the restaurant floor when needed. The pay is £12 per hour. Immediate start. No experience required. Meals on shift and unlimited hot drinks. Not the hard ones. Career progression. Yeah, you can become from a waiter to, I don't know, something from a cashier to a manager, I suppose.
Shift patterns earliest shift is at 9 a.m. Later shift finishes at midnight. Experience is not required. Languages English Intermediate Employment Full time schedule shift patterns um nine to midnight for. If you look for a summer job or an autumn job, this would be the way to go. So if you're working at £12 an hour, so that's taxed around nine, I suppose.
So if you're doing, let's say 40 hours a week, 40 times nine is £360 net a week. So that would be barely, what, 1500 per month. But you get tips, right? You can get you can beef it up with tips. So that's pretty much it. These are the jobs I came across for today. Very soon I'm going to do a regular show on my YouTube channel about jobs of all different types and sorts.
I'll pick major cities like London, like New York, like Berlin. And if you are looking for a job and you want some kind of experience, or if you're just interested in knowing about these things, just tune into my shows. I suppose that's the best way to go about it. Well, if you're going to work in London, by the way, here's the thing.You must remember that you need to find accommodation, and that is one of the priciest things you can do that's that's going to cost you a fair chunk of your salary. So it's not ideal, but you can share your room with someone if you're a young person who cares or if you're going there with your girlfriend, you can just rent a room out.
Yeah, you and your girlfriend and you can do all the cleaning. I'm telling you, if you the boyfriend, you can do all the cleaning and you know, she can she can do she can help you with the rest of the housework. I don't know, whichever way it goes. So if you rent out a room, it will cost you a sum, but at least you have your own privacy.
Okay, but be careful because there are overhead charges like wi-fi or the electricity bill or the gas bill, and it gets very cold in London in winter. So yeah, you want to be careful. This is just for an experience. You're going to have to work to learn the language. Great. Yeah, that's fantastic. But if you want to actually make money and so set up a family, then no, it's not going to be enough.
All right. Thanks very much for listening to this podcast. I wish you a superb day and please give me a follow on Spotify. And if you're watching this on YouTube, subscribe, it always helps to create more content. Have a great day. I'll speak to you soon. Bye for now. Peace.
