I think you are doing the right thing by telling them that you have no offers or interviews lined up and that you just started with your job search. First of all it is none of their business to ask such details. Secondly many of these agencies are less interested in your profile and more interested ...
Hi InUkOnHSMP, My personal opinion..the job market will get worse in the days to come. The impact of US downturn has been felt slightly till now in UK and full impact is yet to be unleashed. The companies which are trimming their work-force in US can anytime start the same in UK too(remember the CTC...
Pyke, yes, these people get the number from one of the sites we have registered. It gets really irritating when you get 3-4 back to back calls from these people. Also, I fully agree with Ashish's advice - don't worry about the duplication of CV to a client. The agents just can't be trusted. I have s...
I have been in UK for almost 4 weeks and actively looking for a job. I have been receiving calls from recruitment consultants regularly but off late I realize half of them are fake. These consultants contact you stating that they have some openings which match your profile but in order to avoid dupl...
US is already in recession and I think it will continue for some time. Things are really bad in US during recessions and especially for people on H1. UK is a more stable country from stability perspective. In the present circumstances UK is the better option. Atleast nobody can tell you to leave the...
I came to UK around 1 month back. I am on Java and JEE with solid experience. I have had hardly any interviews yet. I think the job market is getting slower as is the economy. Unless you are lucky it will take some time to find a job. Come prepared to search for upto 3 months. I get 2-3 calls from a...
Kiwi Pro, Go Thru this link: http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=16747 The HO people are extremely unprofessional. They will not accept their responsibilities for any stupidity they do. I fully symphathesize with you - "Do applicants have to stand on their head to tell them that th...
Push_hsmp, The coincidences have been too many to not belive that these things have been unintentional: 1) Originals docs lost 2) HO took 5+ weeks to act on the reprint request 3) Despite repeated emails, phone calls and faxes they have sent the reprint by normal airmail, which as i had expected, go...
Answering your questions: 1) I have assumed my case to be closed. I don't want to live and work in a country which I understanding in neck deep into unprofessionalism and beloved . 2) Please go through the various posts of people who are suffering. The creator of this particular thread himself has b...
Gordon, What makes you assume that they overlooked only one fax and not more. My original reprint request letter also had a request for arranging courier. I never said that they are trying to exclude only me. They have done so for many more people on this board. I simply don't have to prove to you t...
Gordon/QuickPounce, You agree that HO can get real dirty or you need more proofs. Have you thought why ishkad's originals were sent in one mail and the letter in another and the letter got lost !!!!! Wait..... let me post another mail communication from HO: This was in my response to the request for...
Dear Sir/Madam Thankyou for your email. Your decision letter has been reprinted and sent to the following address by airmail on the 29 th May 2007 to the following address: XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX Unfortunately, we received your request for courier collection after we had despatched your reprint. You s...
Hi You were sent a letter on 25 June addressing the concerns raised in your complaint, this was dispatched via airmail to the address you provided. Recent national postal strikes and flooding in Sheffield and across much of south Yorkshire could of potentially delayed the time taken in you receiving...
Gordon & QuickPounce, I have 10+ mails to prove that the loss of docs by HO is intentional. I will paste just one of them in the next posting. Let me explain my case: 1) HO lost my originals(they claim it was lost in transit) 2) After waiting for 12 weeks, I was told that they will be sending th...

Gordon, The facts stated by me are absolutely true. This happens to a good percentage of applications. If you go thru all the posts, you will realize that lots of applicants are facing problems due to ever changing rules and interpretation of the rules by HO. You will be able to realize the intensit...
Hey PounceQuick, You may find the allegation as ridiculous but its a fact. HO plays these dirty games. Give me your personal mailId and I will convince you that these HO people can get real dirty. Try searching on stories about HO and you will find multiple instances of their unethical behaviour.
Sorry for being so negative..but these are facts.... The loss of the letter is not by bad luck. It is intentional on part of HO. Not sending the documents is their way of filtering applicants they cannot reject but don't want to approve either. HO is a SCAM !!! They will never feel responsible for t...
Please go thru my post for my opinion: http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=16316 I think the UK immigration policy is Absolutely ruthless. These people are not able to decide whether they wants immigrants or they do not want. They take an undertaking before issuing EC that "you wan...
I see lots of discussion threads about "UK or not , beloved, UK vs Canada". Look at the ordeal of my HSMP application and decide for yourself what kind of country UK is going to be. Each and everything here is a fact. Anybody wants a proof of what I have mentioned, please let me know. I th...
