"A wide range of employers, including the Civil Service, local authorities and other public sector organisations, both national and international, universities and colleges, manufacturing and commercial companies, financial institutions, solicitors' firms, publishing companies and media employers."\n\nI would suggest reviewing some of the above types of companies and deciding which type of industry(ies) you would like to work in. Then, search Monster.com or another job posting board for the specific companies and jobs in those industries. The job postings should have descriptions that make it clear whether you are qualified or not.

Set up your own business and then they'll hire you as a contractor, not an employee. This can be cheapest and easiest way, both for them (smaller "social charges") and you, and then you can work as many months as you want. If you're EU citizen, then there are no problems to do it at all. There is some red-tape involved, but much less than if they hire you as an employee.

Bartending/waitressing until you luck out and get a job that will pay the rent. \nApply for some sort of government job, City, State or Fed. After years of toiling, I'm ashamed I didnt think of that before. Good pay, great benefits, lots of holidays and you don't have to work outside of your job description. There's something for everyone. Check it out.

Depends:\n\n-working at a newspaper/magazine: unusual hours depending on the story, but interesting, steady work\n\n-freelance: may be difficult to get work in the beginning - you may have to do a lot of weddings or 'pet portraits' for cheap until you build up a good reputation - but working for yourself can be very rewarding not to mention flexible\n\n-portrait studio: be prepared to say 'cheese' 70 times a day, sometimes to crying, upset babies ... clients will make it seem like it is entirely YOUR responsibility to make them look good (regardless of how ugly or sloppy they are to begin with and regardless of whether or not they ignore all your posing sugestions)

The ability to work with other people is huge for most employers, but it really depends on what type of job you are looking at.\n\nSome qualities an employer does not want in inexperience, selfishness, not being punctual.  If you don't want the job, show up to the interview a few min. late.

As far as i know there are no restrictions based on businessses. Retail however also is vast and so the ease with which you get a work permit/ job would depend on your job function.

1. The freedom to pursue your own vision.  You can have your own view of the world, and entrepreneurship is the only venue where you pursue that view and see the fruition of your vision. Self employment allows you to do your own thing, and pursue those areas that you feel passionate about.\n\n2. The control and flexibility you have over your own time. As your own boss, you work when you want to work; and stop if you don't want to work. You can tailor your work according to your lifestyle and accomodate various tasks. You can work in however way you please -- in your pajamas, with the TV loudly blaring -- without getting a memo from the personnel department.\n\n3. The opportunity to learn and gain knowledge. The entrepreneur oftens wear many hats -- the strategic planner, the marketer, the customer service rep, the sales rep, even the book keeper. There's a million things you probably didn't know before you started the business that you are now forced to learn -- and gaining all these knowledge enriches you as a person.\n\n4. The tremendous challenges faced as a business owner and the joy when you overcome them\n\n5. A sense of pride and fulfilment in accomplishing things\n\n6. The joy of teaching and sharing with others what you've learned in entrepreneurship\n\n7. The confidence you gain in knowing that you can do it\n\n8. The ability to earn more than what I could earn as a salaried employee. If I work harder and smarter, I can earn more dollars whereas as an employee no matter how hard you work, you only receive your base pay plus some bonuses.\n\n9. Profits of the business go to ME (or my business entity) not to the big corporate machine\n\n10. You never get bored: every day is a new challenge, new tasks and new discoveries

Dual employment means that you are employed by two employers or in simpler terms you have two jobs.  Most companies require exclusivity in employment and may have a penal clause in your contract if you violate this.  This is also known as "moonlighting" and is prohibited mostly in employment that poses a conflict of interest in your present one.

There's a lot of things to be aware of. You should really track your income and expenses, and almost everything can be deductible. You should have a contract for all freelance jobs; this will help you keep your paperwork in order. Your first year or so of freelancing, I'd suggest going to a tax prep company to help you with your taxes, as they will help you be sure you're legally CYA. Here's a site with links for everything freelance:\n\nhttp://freelancewrite.about.com/\n\n\nGood luck, and feel free to contact me if I can help you later on. I've been a paid FL writer for more than 10 years, and ::knocking on wood:: haven't messed up my taxes yet.\n\n~Tia~

Depends on what you're looking for, which state you reside in and your job. See if there's a group or association in the industry you're in that sponsors a health insurance plan that you would be eligible for--not only would it be cheaper than going on your own, chances are it would also include vision care and a dental plan. Otherwise you will have to construct those three parts piecemeal.\n\nAnother option is to see if you qualify for the plan that your largest client offers its employees. Even though you are self-employed, you may still be eligible, or could work that into part of your compensation/contract.
