ohhh really - you are being so very optimistic... but at the same time a bit blind I guess :oops: you dont read bbc business / economy news ? Being optimistic in this economy is all wre have! Advising someone to wait and see isn't exactly telling them to jump on the next plane and get here is it? :...

I would wait and see how things go.... You never know it could turn around in ten months

i AGREE its better to be safe than sorry as right now the job market here isn't exactly great!

I really hope that you get somewhere even if it is just fior them to admit they dealt with this in the completely wrong manner as this is completely unfair and anyone would hate to be accused of doing something they haven't done!

Good Luck and Im glad you have your old job back

Agreed we had 2 more redunancies here 2 weeks ago - cut backs are happening even a few months later!

Some say we are not likely to stabilise before 2010???

I agree don't let them get away with it its not fair and let us know the outcome

Definately Seek Legal advice thats wrong!

That is horrendoud - definately demand an explanation! How can they hold it against you just because someone has the same name!

Im sure there are many people out there who share a name - this means nothing!

Agreed it is slowly better in some places and worse in others

I agree daily job alerts are great and ensure you are kept informed and dont miss a thing!

Its easier to keep tabs on whats happening out there at the moment as well!

Keep trying - fingers crossed aye?

semiconductor market - isnt the west coast of US the best place? or may be singapore ?

You would prob have better lucj in those places than here at the moment!

It is very competitive right now - there are more people looking for jobs than jobs themselves so that is why it is like this!

At the end of the day you have to keep trying or you will get no where

I think its stupid to be honest there are British people everywhere around the world working and no one wants to kick them out!!!! We take the jobs where we can at the end of the day! It should be ok for anyone anywhere otherwise people just get really petty!

Congratulations am glad finally someone has some good news! It is so depressing out there at the moment!

I think with this your chances are very low if non-existant to be honest!

They will mor elook at the fact that you lied than anything else!

Either way I wish you the best of luck with this and hope there is a good outcome no matter how small the chance is

It is hard out there at the moment!

Most of the Engineering Jobs I have heard about are based in the middle east... Have you tried looking there?

Are you admitting you lied to eneter the country on these forms or going under the false identity?

Definately the value of the pound has slumped but the cost of living is rising its madness!

hey sallya i think IT is the hard hit, because i am in IT and I know how hard it is ... i dont know about finance... :cry: :shock: Yeah IT also seems to be badly hit - every company is making redundancies or freezing recruitment - working with understaffed offices just to try and stay alive! Its cr...

Yeah there could be jobs.. but I have hit close to 170 consultants and have tried everywhere. My flight to India is next week. I have tried PM, .NET, C++, MFC, ASP.NET and architect jobs too. If you get a interview call, you are lucky. Forget it. I am going back home. With living costs so high, its...

Then look in both places and hopefully something will come up here or in germany - just dont move until you have found something! Some people are here for months and have nothing

I would try other countries too as the pharma industry is wide spread - people are losing jobs more than getting jobs here right now so be careful with your decisions and good luck

Yep they do - If your contracting in the UK I would advise using an Umbrella company that way you will take more home. I used Atlantic Umbrella and found them to be great

I know someone who applied and got it early - it must deoends on your circumstances or as drjabberwocky23 has put it the individual dealing with your case.... Its worth a shot either way

Sometimes that is the only way around, Im sorry to say no solution is a quick fix and the better you get started the quicker the issue will be resolved I think
