Re: Latest UK CV format for a software engineer - request

Can Some one share latest UK CV format or guide me to where I can get it . [Field of Software Engineering will be ideal. ] As the previous poster has said, the content of the question asked itself shows a lot of naivety on the OP's behalf.

Re: Renting in the UK

Quite incorrect advice on some of the below Ali, so let me explain why 1) You will not get any property until and unless they will see you along with your passports. 5) Please be ready to deposit some advance as you are new here and don't have any credit history so please bring some extra hard cash ...

Public sector jobs are different from private sector jobs. Though it may have some impact, but overall I think it should be positive as people would spend less and you can expect prices for rental homes and other services to come down! Neo, what you are not picturing is all those jobless people fro...

Sorry but there is nothing that can be done. If you dont have the right to work here on your own, which means a Tier 1 Visa or related, then neither can you attend most interviews nor can you get a confirmed job offer. No companies in the UK will ever get a work permit done for you so that's not an ...

Ryan, For the UK market, employers do not look at previous references UNTIL they have made you and offer, you have accepted and both sides have bought into the deal. Once this is done, they then start all background checks and ask YOU for references. So, its only at this particular point in time tha...

I then asked them if I was here just for 11months, went for a 40 day break and then returne...

Another thing to note - it wont be that easy to get any job to get some income till you start. Main reasons are crazy timings, lots of students taking up such roles and the fact that its winter so fewer jobs. There will be roles in the Services sector though. Your best bet is to come here with suffi...

Not just when you have an accident. You don't have to carry the licence, but you can be asked for it by a police officer, and not just after an accident! Yes agreed.
