Finding job on Tier 2 ICT Dependant visa

Hello,

I recently received my T2ICT Dependant visa which is valid till end of 2016. I'm planing to join my partner (who is already in the UK) in 2 weeks. Straight after my arrival I want to start looking for a job. I read a lot of chains on this forum and clearly see that is not easy to find a job for dependant and then ask employer to sponsor you for T2 General visa.
However I also read a lot of feedbacks where people were able to find employment and even received T2G visa. I understand that everything depends from your own skills and hence looking just for general advises.
Here are the questions I have:
1) Do I need to mention the fact that I'm on dependent visa in my CV or in conversation with recruitment agent? Or it's better to anyhow get an interview with employer where I will mention this. I know that in most cases agent will lose their interest once they figure out that you are not a resident. Just wondering what's the best and proper way here.
2) On interview should I ask employer for T2G visa or better to spend sometime with them and then ask if they are able to sponsor you?
3)What about contract jobs? Since such jobs are temporary - dependant visa should not be a problem. is this correct?

Thanks in advance for any help on this matter.

Hi all,

Just to clarify - I'm looking for the general tips that may help to find job for dependent faster as my current goal is switching to T2G. Both my partner and I were on ICT visas but I switched to dependent visa specifically to find a sponsor and get T2G.
I read that there are people on this forum who were able to find a job and get T2G visa hence posted my question to this part of the forum.
Please, can you provide some info which may be helpful as there is no info at all on this matter.

Thanks in advance.
