Hi, my name is Michael Skoda. I am Czech and I live in Prague. I worked for a big logistics company.

Unfortunately, I am unemployed now. I believe I am a capable manager, but the company that I worked for went bankrupt just yesterday. I've decided not to look for employment in the Czech Republic, but search elsewhere. I need to improve my knowledge of English and I would like to try and find a suitable job in the UK. Therefore, I have subscribed to a British job board site.
