What are the odds of an American getting a good job in the UK?

I am still rather young to be looking this far ahead into the future. However, I like to plan things. My dream job, which I won't go into detail about, would best be performed in the UK. Of course, if I were to get a job in the UK, I would move there. Nevertheless, I would still be an "American." I have a feeling being an American would make it rather hard to get a real job in the UK. Is this true? Do the Brits discriminate like I've heard, or is it all bull? I would like to hear some responses from actual UK citizens.

Your chances of getting employment in the UK would be zero to none unless you can get a work permit for the UK. They have an 8% unemployment rate and it would be very difficult for you to get a work permit. Your best bet would be to get a job here in the US with an American firm that has offices in the UK or has a subsidiary in the UK and then get a transfer to one of those offices.

dont go to uk.it is waste

I'm British (Welsh)

No, Brits dont dislike you Americans.
We are your friends and buddies.
Just Press giving false reports i reckon!

You will easily get work in the UK, suitably qualified people who want to work always will!
You also have a great accent that assists you in certain fields of work.
ie.....US accents always sell well to the public in the charm way!
Girls love it!

Good Luck.
