In my opinion the skills in demand in UK are that of Technical knowledge. To sell PM related skills in UK is a daunting task. Yes, Ashwin hit right on the nail. "Software Architect" is the only skill for which employer wont mind age or nationality. I will not be surprised if within few mon...
Amhilde - My views regarding under 28 are purely based on the observations of successes in this forum. I still believe that exp wise under 28 category gains an advantage. I do feel bad for the way your case has been handled because inspite of good exp and skills, HSMP is still an alien to you. But i...
My observation is that under 28 success ratio is higher. Because this category requires less experience and get more points. Probability of success and collecting evidence etc is higher in this case.
Amhilde & Me are live examples of antagonistic approaches of HSMP. I have no degree so i cannot claim points and Amhilde has two degrees yet he cannot. To overcome degree issue I have 11 years of Quality experience yet I am not HIGHLY SKILLED. Amhilde's denial means he is not "HIGHLY SKILLE...

One of my ex-employers is not giving "To whomsoever it may concern"thing. They want the specific person to which they can address. In this case it would be HSMP Team.
Does anyone know if HSMP takes into consideration Aptech Courses offered in India. Aptech courses are NCC - NAtional Computing Center certified courses and it is mentioned on their certificates. I have 4 semesters marksheets from Aptech. Does it equate to any UK qualification for me to be able to cl...
If I want to claim 10 years of graduate level work and 5 years specialist, it comes out to seeking all ex-employers letters.
How is that practically possible ? I am curious how are people managing it. And Do the HSMP teams actually need it for all cases or only for which they have doubts ?
Hi All, It is very difficult for me to get reference letters that indicate full job descriptions from my previous employers at this stage. I have about 11 years of experience and few of my employers will not even recognize me now. :roll: Is there any alternative to this ? I think the government body...
