moving to Seattle

19 years ago
I wonder if anyone can give us any help or advice.

We are two Brits wanting to move to Seattle. We don't (currently) have any relatives over there, and we're from the UK so the green card lottery is out, so it looks like we're looking at the employment-related stuff.

What I need to know is, what kind of work and what kinds of qualification/experience are most useful in this context? I'm in the medical admin field but most of my training has been on-the-job and I'm wondering if I need further qualifications and if so, what.

I also just want to hear from any Brits who've made it into the US this way, especially if a) you weren't relocated by your UK company and b) you're not a graduate.

Also just anyone from the UK who's relocated to this part of the States and can tell us more about living there. Thanks!
