Hi!
I'm an Italian girl and I'm looking for a summer job in Glasgow for 2 months (August and September). I can speak English at an intermediate level (also German and of course fluent Italian) and was looking for something in pub or cafe.
If you can help me I would appreciate it very much!

what do you mean by contact/technical support centre?! Anyway, I've thought about pub jobs because maybe that is a kind of job you can do even if it's for a short time. Other jobs may required a person to stay longer.

Glasgow is one of the leading contact centre locations in Europe. A contact centre is a catch all name for a central location that handles communications and services for its customers, either directly or for other companies. A good telephone manner and computer skills are required. Contact centres can vary from very simple 'selling by telephone operations' to highly complex technical support operations and language skills is something wanted by many of them. For instance I know that HSBC (Banking), Esure (Insurance) and Ceridian (HR management) are all actively recruiting; e-sure deliberately targets the student population.

The website of the industry body is http://www.cca-global.com/ on here you will get the names of all of the other main contact centres in Scotland. Good luck.
