That was a very sad and childish remark from a married man. I do not think what I wrote was incorrect in anyway. Not sure what you expect forum members to do here -spoon feed you with information? The ONLY reason I replied is because, if you noticed, NO ONE even bothered to post a reply to such a si...

Sorry but I am going to be quite harsh with your query. The forum does not exist to answer your question without YOU YOURSELF doing a bit of work and checking the market. You have 5 yrs experience in IT so you must have heard of GOOGLE. Please google, look around a little and then ask questions with...

You dont 'literally' need the NI number if you have proof that you have applied for one. So come here, start the NI process and you will have proof you will be getting it in 8 weeks or so. Employers understand NI takes time so need affirmation that you have applied for it thats all Also note that by...

A Tier 2 binds you to a specific company and you can legally work ONLY for the company that sponsored your Tier 2 - whether its volunteering, profit or non-profit has no bearing. I maybe incorrect here but do check the legality of the matter first before going down the route of registering a company...

Hey...kenfrapin, Ok ..; :) I want to live...Enjoy English culture....but can not settle down there...one day I have to return to my country.... I was just curious because I have heard that normally monthly salary is there 2000- 3000 pounds... if people are getting more than 500 pounds then why not ...

Money must be top priority.. otherwise who will be ready to come to abroad and work if he is not able to save money end of the day... errr...people who want to live, settle down and enjoy the English Culture? Its not all about making money, conv...

I have heard that employee ( in computer field) whoever is working on HSMP ( Tier 0-1 ) Visa is earning 300-500 pounds daily. I just want to confirm if it is really fake or truth. Sachin, I guess you are REALLY new to the UK and just starting out and hence the question - if not, then its really qui...

How difficult it is to find jobs in Business Development in IT/Engg Services with an experience of 6 yrs? Any references will be helpful. Its not an easy market to penetrate but then its Sales and experience sure will count. That said, the IT Bus Dev area is usually dominated by locals as language ...

Congrats npanglia and kudos to your well informed way of staying at it, following up leads and not giving up. Your skillset is what helped you get so many offers quickly so you need to gauge that as a key factor in being successful quickly - 2yrs in Investment Banking in Process Excellence and that ...

I'm sorry to hear your plight but do commend you on your resolve to make it through such hard times. While I cannot add to your post nor assist in anyway, I do have one question - Is there any particular reason for struggling all these years just get the LTR? You said money has been sent to you from...

I like this line

aah, the folly of our times - I once read somewhere there is a stiff competition between rates meant for House Keepers and the IT community - that's how many of us are there today pecking away at anything we can get!!!!

I guess you are generalising PM as a role. If it manageing project without any specialised business expertise which is planning, scheduling, communicating, presentation and updating gantt chart then I would expect that. But PM role has changed from last few year to more speciliased role in which he...

The PM market is quite saturated at the moment unfortunately. There has been an influx of experienced PMs with a lot of well documented UK based experience that are trying for contract roles as well as perm positions. One big chunk of IT groups to be made redundant, and every time actually when spen...

I agree Kenfrapin but why to take a chance by not wearing a suit unless you don't have one. Yup, I cannot argue with that at all. As a personal opinion based on recruiting for my company and also interviewing a lot - wear the coat as a jacket and hence make sure you are dressed in Business Casuals ...

Of course, I would assume that the other guy is more serious (completely my opinion but thats what was inculcated in my college days at IIT). Desperado - this is what the OP is asking advice on here. IIT is in India not in the UK so its really not a fair comment to make or a fair base to compare ag...

Wunder and Desperado are right and I wont argue because my advice was purely from an IT Services view in the Telecoms and Media world and I cannot vouch for any other area of work unfortunately. For IT Telecoms, I too have interviewed a lot of people - Developers, SDs, BAs and PAs - for perm and con...

I would not ask this if it was an interview for Business Analyst but its a Software Developer/Support role in a blue chip software MNC. Very well thought of question really. As aspirant advised, looking smart and tidy is more than enough for an interview. Further, as the role you are interviewing i...

Tough choice Samsung and not a nice place to be in really. 6 months at £500 a day will pay you not less than £66k which is far far more than £50k. Add to that once 6 months are over and if you dont get a job for 2/3 months it's still fine as the contract alone gave you a lot of surplus cash. Your...

Hi, For IT professionals who are holding degree from their native country which country is good with regard to job market. I am planning to choose b/w australia or uk.Any advice?

Agree 1 MILLION percent - its the first set of Holidays after XMas and people just wait for it to run away on a nice break. So Feb/March is when the action picks up

Unfortunately this sort of Scam emailing has been going on for years and because it feels so real, many people get fooled. Recruiting for work is one part of it - emails about lottery winnings, inheritance, bank mistake etc has been going on for years now and these guys get better ideas everyday and...

FAKE FAKE FAKE - no company in the UK will hire a RECEPTIONIST from outside. Forget another country, there are enough Receptionists in Glasgow itself!!!! Just type this in Google and you will find the details - 'Receptionist Quality Hotel Glasgow Scam' and behold!!!! You are being scammed BIG time s...

Until I read the below 2 lines I was about convinced this might be genuine but after this I most definitely doubt it.

I am quite certain of the option of providing international references to Letting Agents for verification purposes. A few people have used this route though I cannot personally verify this. On many forms I have filled while changing houses/flats, there is a mandatory question for previous 3yrs addre...

What sort of job did you apply for? What exact application form did they send back to you to fill? Have they spoken to you already or asked for any details or work experience? They may be totally fake if even one of the below is true 1. You are in Ethiopia and they have not spoken to you at all 2. T...
