Hey! I'm not an expat yet, but hoping to be one in the future. I want to move to London, but I have concerns about finding a job. Can a non-native speaker of English find a teaching job there?any ideas? Also, I would be happy to chat with some British people who live in Fethiye in Turkey. Are there any here?

Non native speakers, if suitably qualified, can get jobs.
Work permits may be another matter.

That's a lot of unemployment so, if the UK government wants to reduce those numbers (and it does), why would they give you a work permit?
