The best thing is to ring them up one by one to find out. I know it may sound weird or expensive but it will pay off. I advise you that option because most of them don't want to a know about providing work permit due to the cost attached to it unless you are extremely stand out and have the qualities they are looking for. Then they will b willing to help you with work permit. Hope my answer help. Take care and good luck

I have completed my degree in accounting in 2010 and I still didnt find a position to gain valuable experience, I am thinking about starting the professional ACCA papers but I am not sure if this will make harder to start my career in accounting, more qualifications no experience. Dont know what to do

The same! I graduated in 2010 and is still looking for job within accountancy at the moment too!
Last year I sit 2 ACCA exams and passed both at first attemp. However I did not proceed since during my job search I found that some time mentioning ACCA withou exoerience made disadvantage rather than advantage to some positions. Nevertheless, I think to the big companies learning some of the qualifications by yourself demonstrate your self-development awareness and it is good in this light. Hence, don't worry. Carry on and don't give up. You are still eligible to apply for grad schemes and continue to work on it positively. I believe you will finally got it!! :)
