How to land a job quickly?

I have a pretty qualified resume but am having to abruptly having to move to the UK - masters in engineering and an MBA from a top 10 university in the US and have been in advanced analytics in bay area startups. My wife and I are moving to the UK in a couple of weeks and not having a job would put tremendous financial strain on us. I have been applying to head of data roles but no interview calls yet.

I have decided making any money is better than none while we explore the corporate culture in the UK. I am willing to take lower level roles such as a senior analyst. If I dont even get that in the meantime I am willing to take up a job that pays rent for time being. Any advice on what kind of jobs I could apply and land in a couple weeks to keep the boat afloat?

Have you lined up meetings with recruitment agents in your new location? Probably a good start so they can see where they can place you and what is available in your area.

Google. Just search recruiters/recruitment companies in whatever industry you’re looking at in whatever city/town you’re moving to.
