Thanks for the quick reply nksg! In the approval letter, the case worker has mentioned "you should familiarise yourself with the requirements for further leave to remain in this category.You should note that the requirements may be revised and such revisions may apply to migrants who already hold le...

I felt i should tell everyone personally what i felt as I felt cheated by everyone here who says market is dead causing me sleepless nights back in India after quitting my job already. And you say you are a positive person !! Instead of thanking your luck that you did not find much trouble finding ...
wow housing we need two weeks ! ahem.. housing can be arranged easily from India .. but now i can see this discussion can sound dreamy to some people! Thanks for your cool reality check Sharat! kratosvastik, For proper house search, even two weeks can be less in UK. The rental agents are crazy in t...

did you read my post about small companies going strong in the market ? That is actually true. Think of it this way: My posts (even though only my experience) do provide a ray of hope to courageous people who are going to come here anyway despite the negativity. And I am a firm believer that positi...
Dear nshar1, all I am saying is that job market is not dead (umm do people get called for interview every other day in a dead market?), I can say this because I feel it since I have been here. If I had believed your posts on the other hand as I did before coming here, I would have stayed in India a...
kratosvastik, I think you are misguiding people and giving wrong hope to them. People will tend to generalize your success. I think it is the presence of a rare skill on your CV which has given you the success(I think it is ATG). This may not happen to other people. The credit crunch and recession a...

Sharing my job search experience... I have been working with a reputed financial services organization on contract which is finishing shortly. I am into java JEE with more than 10yrs of experience. I started my job search in the first week of january. Have been getting,on an average, one genuine cal...
Hello Guys, I dont know how many of you are on the same boat, but thought to have a word with you guys, As i am a telecom engineer worked for some good companies in uk, but due to market crunch i am out of job from last 6 months. Due to that 6 months gap i am facing a lot of problem from consultanc...
In my opinion no. It will not be interview like India, where interviewer tries to show his/her knowledge and in process humiliates you. I just realized how true this is !! Interviewing in india depends more on what the interviewer knows or has recently read. It depends less on what you know. It har...
The geist of my previous post is: Before coming to UK evaluate your options, answer questions like... what if I don't get a job in the next 3-4 months. What I the job market worsens even further. Even seasoned professional who have been in UK for 5 years are getting very few interview calls. One or ...
Hi Good to read your experience.I have plans to visit UK on march 22nd and start same way as you are , "Searching job". And your words has given enough courage to me to come there for searching jobs. I don't know what has given you this courage.. Anybody thinking of coming to UK in this environment...
nshar 1, AM00 seems active on this board but he hasn't denied my coments so far. If he denies, he should prepare to answer some of my questions. If he doesn't, it will automatically prove who are 'half brain fools and need brain scan.' BTW, 'half brain fools' may be the harsh words I have used, but...
I m confident AM00 has deliberately and purposefully posted this post here and keeping it to have sort of fun. Quite a few things in his writting indicate he having a laugh after seeing fools queing up and getting serious. I will rather have a fun too by watching next half brain fools on this threa...
People aren't even ashamed before putting such ads. Such a thing might have made sense if this was a charitable organization. But this seems like a pathetic miserly,penny-pinching law firm which doesn't have the heart to pay for a receptionist they need. I don't know what kind of ethics this law fir...
I am already missing his posts and job offers for Tianjin. He had shown persistence and resolve. He always ensured that we get the opportunity to read one of his posts every day(what if they were all repeats). We will always miss your posts. Hope you find more boards in life. Moderators - Thanks for...
Ghulbhai, Sorry to hear about ur experiences. The UK job market can be very weird(I am sure you have read the experiences of other boarders regarding their job search experiences). Last few months have been bad for job seekers. I think conditions will improve in Jan-09 for short term. Till then I do...
Hi PC, Its difficult to say right now whether it will prove to be a right decision or not. One thing I can say is you have the right skills - Spring/Hibernate are the desired technical skills to have. Right now the job market for Java,J2EE is very very bad(Most of the openings listed on job portals ...
Let me answer few of the questions for you. I believe that it will be difficult to find a job sitting back there in India. There are already so many candidates available here in the job market who are struggling to find a job. There are few companies in India which might be hiring for UK. One piece ...
For a J2EE person it takes around 2-3 months to find a job in the UK market under these conditions. Getting lots of calls during the first 1 week of job search is very common and meaningless. What is worrying in your case is that you have not even attended even a single interview. Please reanalyze t...
This job offer seems very risky. Taking a junior developer position would have been fine, but this trial period concept seems non sense. Where will you be if the company,at the end of three months, tells you that you haven't been found fit to be offered a junior developer position? I am sure this is...
