UK should close its doors to all foreigners except ppl from the EU. Europe is for Europeans and not for foreigners from 3rd world countries. This is a pointless, offensive line of argument. Why do you persist? As someone who falls into yewhongwei79's 'Non-EU people come to UK to work legally - cont...
Non-EU people come to UK to work legally - contribute to tax, NI, no social benefits (mostly high-skills jobs but require VISA) Non-EU people come to UK to work illegally - doesn't contribute to tax, NI, but still no social benefits (mostly low skills jobs) EU people come to UK to work legally - con...

Ever since the first day I came to UK and work, I have been complaining to my wife every day about the working culture/environment in UK, it is very different! Being from an American MNC in Malaysia, I noticed that UK workers, differentiate the work and personal life very clearly. While it is a good...
Try out the Sales Assistant position in WHSmith, or the post office in WHSmith. My wife used to work there for 2 months before getting a permanent job. The pay is low at GBP6.5 an hour before tax, and be prepared to be yelled at some fussy customers.
My company is currently looking for few candidates to fill up the following positions: a) Multimedia Software Engineer - C and C++ programming - Multimedia Algorithms and Application Experience - Development under Linux b) Embedded Software Engineer - Microcode for VLIW processor - C and C++ program...
If £4400 or less is all you have as of now, and you are coming with your wife, think twice. If you are lucky, you are able to get a job within 2-3 months. In normal case, it will take up to 6 months. If you are not lucky, it can take up to a year. Assuming you just rent a studio nearby London area,...

Ashish You have decided? However, putting myself in your shoes, I can understand your situation. Have...
I have worked in US for 8 months, and now I have been in UK for 7 months, I can probably provide some inputs. Whether it is UK or US, your age/stage of life is a key factor. If you are married, but before 26, without kids and you plan to go back to your motherland after few years, come to UK. The re...
Don't be surprised that many employers are not keen in hiring HSMP holders. Even this new VISA has been introduced for few years, there are still many companies who just do not understand the details of it. What they see is only this - "your visa is valid for 2 years only ... this is not good f...
Totally agree with SKUK. If you are involved in HR/Sales/Marketing, relatively you will face higher difficulty to get a job in UK compared to technical jobs, simply because employers would prefer somebody with local accent, unless dealing with international business (ie: China, India ...)
But how is he going to do that ? Same CONUNDRUM will raise its ugly face again. Without a job offer, it's risky to migrate leaving behind a highly paid job in your home country but without being physically present in the UK, the agent won't even flip to the second page of your CV. And Yes, the UK i...
Yes, DO NOT ever come to UK without a job offer, especially when you have a highly-paid job back in your home country. UK cost of living is getting higher and higher especially in the past one year, particularly reflected in petrol price and council tax.
Hi... I came during April...and its already a month and still in job search...loosing out hope and patience...my opinion...hsmp is not good if you are applying from outside. I worked for one of the reputed multinational in software testing. Thinking my exp and skills I should able to get job within...
Hi everyone. I am posting to thread to seek for help from anybody that you know who is currently involved in purchasing field. I am asking this for my wife as she is looking hard for a job involved in purchasing field. It's so hard to find such a job here even though she has 5+ years experience in a...
Bang on....Every thing which you mentioned is sooo true...Especially the agents characteristics....If you read this entire board,you will come acorss similar feelings... Ashish Yup, most of the statements are true. Dealing with agents is a skill, and it is hard to believe that whether you get a job...
My advice to all those who are keen to apply HSMP - it is a very big risk to resign your good job back in home country and come to UK with HSMP without any job offer. At the first glance, HSMP allows you to come to UK even without a job sounds alluring, but UK gov is not responsible if you do not ha...
I agree! That's exactly something I just don't understand! The so called "UK Experience" requirements has disappointed so many people who are rich of experience but non-UK ones.
Hi, If I would like to change from WP to Tier 1, after 2 years of stay in UK on WP, my 2 years before applying Tier 1 is not wasted and will be counted into the 5 years ILR application, right? "You must complete a continuous period of five years in the United Kingdom before you can apply for se...
I apologize for the shift of the topic focus. Back to the topic posted by OP, I would like to suggest to OP that, even the interview seemed to be turned out well in the view of the interviewee, but more importantly is to keep a balanced mindset towards the final result of the interview. The higher h...
I can share my experience, I am lucky for getting a job in UK when I was not physically here. I am a IC-design engineer specializing in static timing analysis. I submitted my resume to various job sites in UK while I was still working in Intel back in my home country. I knew I would never took the r...
I wish you luck for that option. But, that does not seems to happen any time soon, because you are browsing this forum to get help on your extension or initial application whatever it is. Not true, I am browsing this forum to learn humbly the dos and dont's in UK by learning the experiences from ev...
Interestingly, most of her colleagues are immigrants, which are not entitled to social benefits. Can you see the ironic contrast? Here we go again ! What is your point ? What is "ironic contrast" ? You will be entitled to all those benefits, once you become citizen of this country. And ev...
