Any Georgians living in the UK? How was it finding a job when you first moved?

Hi everyone,

I’m a 30F currently living in Tbilisi, Georgia, and I’ll be moving to the UK soon to live with my husband. I’m starting to think about work and wanted to ask for some advice or hear from people who’ve been in a similar situation.

English isn’t my first language. I can communicate and work in English, but I’m still a bit self-conscious about it and sometimes worry it might make things harder when applying for jobs or going to interviews.

Most of my professional experience is in logistics management, but I’m not completely sure if I want to stay in that field. Part of me is thinking this move could be a good opportunity to try something different, but I’m also aware that starting over in a new country might make that more difficult.

For people who moved to the UK from abroad, how was the process of finding work at the beginning? Did the language aspect affect things much? And is it realistic to change industries, or is it usually better to stick with what you already have experience in?

Any thoughts or experiences would be really helpful. Thanks.
