If i am out of my university, I would definitely apply for this thing. Next year, will there be another bunch also?

GBP 8500 nett per annum = GBP 700 per month is quite reasonable provided you dont have to pay for food and accommodation.

but how is the living standard e.g. meals per day, where to stay, working hours per week etc?

HUH?! ONLY GBP708 PER MTH FOR 1ST YEAR?
well, i guess if they provide you accom & food, & if u dun shop & dun spend money then it's worth the go. i was earning close to GBP1000 working part time there in a factory while studying. so depends on where in UK you will be working. i hope it's not places like London cos GBP708 will be like RM708.

Yes, you are right If you sure you will definitely graduate in November, you can start application now.It will take a period of three months before you can actually fly.

As mentioned in the post, your air tickets are free and alos food and lodging provided including your off days If you return to your place of work during off days , they will cook for you your food.There is an acute shortage of such category of workers so that is why there are recuriting through such a scheme, However if you do feel strongly about misuse of this system,then do not go.

Visa fee's of RM1379.00 <- is this for Working Holiday maker visa application ?

If you are a fresh graduate then, it is deducted from your wages when you start work and it is for the visa application fee to the british high commission for the visa.

Hi Ong, i have some questions.

It'll be at which part of UK? London? Scotland?
and I'll be graduated in Degree of Hospitality next year, so will this still be open to apply? and we can choose to work in restaurant or hotel is it?

Thanks

the job will be in any part in UK. We have people being sent to Manchester ,Glasgow etc. I should think so it would be available nexy year. Working in hotel,you will be paid less and no lodging given.The restaurant would be a better choice. Restaurant can be of many types from 3stars to five stars and if you can speak good english there is an opportunity you may be chosen and the pay is also higher.

Is there any chance of working in Gordon Ramsey's restaurant?

Gordon Ramsey's rest? haha ready to die man!

I graduated in UK stay there for more than 4 years.

The living expenses there is not that damme high if you DID NOT convert it back to RM.

For example

A McD meal will cost you GBP 6.99 or 7.99
A pint of bear cost you GBP 1 or 1.50
A Fried Rice in China Town GBP 3.00 to 5.00

So if accommodation and food is not provided. You dun have much left to save.

BUT the good thing is for
GBP 180 you could get a HTC Diamond
GBP 30-50 you could get a Nike shoe
GBP 200 you could get a laptop

Good luck to u all.

TQ

Many vacancies are still available.

Can u list all the vacancies available here? tq

call the number stated on page 1 for more information.

yes but i still highly doubt it. there is so called highly skilled migrant (or equivalent) visa for such shortage occupation, if it is one. and working holiday visa, as the name has stated, working + holidaying, entitled the user to go for there for 2 year with a maximum of 1 working year.

and i dont have to go via such method, i am there, working happily and of course legally.

bump.
