you are still not clear on what your end goal is here 1. Are you ensuring you have sufficient points and earnings for extension/PR - if so, the 12 month contract achieves that and a lot more. Do not calculate salary after tax. Everything here looks at your total package without any tax deductions 2....
Its generally good to have the letter dated within the last 30days however the reason there is no guidelines is because you will be showing proof for salary earned in the past few months and if its the same employer its clear that the employer letter is still valid as they are still paying you a sal...
Agree with Sky_High, you need to personally assess the market given you are an experienced candidate so will have your own skill set which may or may not be highly regarded in the UK market - and only you can find that out Further, 9 years in Supply Chain is good though I can give absolutely no cred...
I have been using money2india from icici for many years now and havent had any issues. Minimal fees and very quick transfers with many options - can give it a go. I also know of many others who use this site for regular monthly transfers
UK Business Graduate, working for the market leader of the industry I am in, at a very senior position and drawing quite a handsome Salary. I have been applying for different jobs from my home country (where I am working currently) but it doesnt seem to work. I am expecting at least a 70K job to st...
Oh how I wish I was
I have worked across organisations building solutions over 8 years which is why I repeat the words. I'm in IT but not attached to technology side, more a tech/biz solutions guy ensuring others get my work done...lol
Yes, in many places this is common because essentially a contracting role comes along when a company does not have in house skills to perform the role. Now, as you may know, if in a permanent role, one really doesnt bother if a project kick off gets delayed by 1 week or 1 year but it makes a big dif...
permies trying to get into contracting find it difficult getting their first contract KP Would you expand on that. As simple as a fresh grad trying for an experienced job role - to get a contract role all agencies/companies want people with prior contracting experience else one cannot get the role ...
Consulting by definition is providing a specialised service. I don’t know how one can be a consultant without being a specialist (with lot of experience) in one field. Quite a grey area really but 1. Consulting usually refers to overall involvement across products and technology more so with deli...
trust me - I have friends who were contractors and have excellent high profile roles now BUT I was making a generic statement - and the generic market sentiment especially with most employers is to oversee an excellent contractor and instead take on a mediocre person who has never contracted.....tha...
I want to add further that from FY2010-2011, eP60s are now an approved format of providing P60s rather than the previous hard copies on blue forms. My partner and I both received an eP60 and both companies told us that a print out of this is a legal original copy as per latest HMRC guidelines and th...
@mulderpf Like I said earlier, my intention was not to equate them. I agree a contracting house is entirely different from a umbrella company. My only point was that it was not fair of companies (read contracting houses) not considering a person for permanent employment just because he has contract...
Hi, Recently, many companies have begun issuing eCopy of the yearly P60 forms. To my horror, mine did too stating its an acceptable replacement though it clearly says its a copy of the P60. Can I take a colour printout of this eCopy to show yearly earnings for 2010-11? Or is this not enough and a st...
This is similar to what a contractor does right ? He is registered with his parent company or umbrella company and works for a client ? The common mistake made is confusing contracting with consulting. What recruiters and the general market term as contracting is when you work on your own, as an in...
Let me keep the end goal as eligibility for Tier 1 extension and reply to your queries. When you said the contract offer pays 25% more, did you mean on a 12 month basis or just a monthly basis? This is quite important because working for 12 months at 25% less per month compared to your contract is a...
Mulderpf has given good advice and makes sense to start your job hunt as soon as you can and ensure you prep yourself and do your homework. Generically speaking, I'd like to add that if one were looking at when its NOT a good time to come to the UK then the answer is definitely mid Dec to mid Jan - ...
All, There is a very simple answer to this. The only way one gets a conviction or a criminal record is when a case is made against you, you go to the court or abstain from it, and the judge passes a ruling against you and CONVICTS you of the charges brought against you - this is the ONLY time you ge...
Congratulations... you haven't been asked for any P60's..? For HSMP or Tier 1 case you only need the below to verify earnings 1. P60s or payslips 2. Bank statements So one cannot use P60 and Payslip as 2 proofs because its considered from the same source. If you just carry P60s and bank statements ...
Ya I have gone through that before asking here. That website says you need to be a UK citizen for getting a driving license. You are confusing 'Resident in UK' with 'Citizen of UK' and that's why all these posts. If you are living and residing in the UK, then you can get your license. Resident in t...
You only have to mention if you have a Criminal conviction and this excludes any spent convictions. Its clear you dont have to mention it because it did not result in a criminal conviction. FPN also is fine unless you have multiple FPNs. Your other offence for which you attended the course clearly d...
Your prospective employer will only contact those people whose details you have provided and nothing more. Also, from what I know, for standard jobs in the IT sector, companies, big and small, do standard checks such as bankruptcy, criminal records etc - many dont even contact your employer. The com...
From all I have read on this forum, they only want to ensure the couple live together and submitting a few well selected letters spanning 2 years or a lot of letters dont make any difference. Also not that if you have been living and travelling together, most entry and exit stamps in the passport pl...
In the UK, they dont stamp on exit - its well known but many realize this only when they actually sit and look at their passports - so this is never going to be an issue. They only stamp when you enter after standing in those long queues! As you exit the UK, wherever you go, the country you enter wi...
Thanks Sush, This is precisely what I intend to do. The proof I will be using for past 12 months earnings assessment and claiming points are 1. P60 for 2010-11 Apr to March with one month being unemployed 2. Bank statements for those 12 months These are from 2 separate sources so should suffice. Car...
