1. I left my Natwest account with probably about 6p in and it must have gone dormant by now, if not closed. Would they let me re-open the account or do I have to go through the application process again? (They have no contact details on their website other than phone numbers, so it's a bit difficul...
Oct10th i came to UK It's not even been 10days so just relax. From your post, you seem to be losing the plot so quickly that I think you either havent planned things properly taking into account all previous advice or you thought getting a job was a cake walk in the UK. Be patient - worse case scen...
1. October-November 2. February-March Agree with Wunder on this though I would say Sept/Oct is when things are at its peak as many companies hire to ensure yearly head count and growth targets. And Aug is quite good as well. Also note that this is very IT Specific - I cannot say the same for other ...
Mohan - from what I know, rules relevant to the time when you applied for your visa will hold good during visa extension. There have been so many changes recently so its all confusing 1. Until April 2009 - No Masters required. 3 yr visa 2. April 2009 to 2010 - Masters mandatory and 2yr visa (?) 3. P...
though the money being a little less, but will have the security that comes with it. trust me - £50k even in London is an excellent offer....and this in Swindon, you have bagged an amazing offer my friend - so be happy and settle down, dont do silly mistakes like last time and life will be wonderf...
Congrats Samsung - given you plan to settle here and also plan to get married soon then there is no doubt that the perm role is the ONLY option, besides from being the best one. Swindon is nice and £50k in Swindon is considered very good salary while £300 in London is below average for your exp - ...
@Kenfrapin I have been reading quite a number of posts on this forum and I observed that you are quite a critic. It intrigues me to know a little more about you. If it's not too personal, can you please throw some light on your background. Cheers! thumbs up Oh Indianinworld - am I that negative and...
Have you tried applying DIRECTLY on careers websites of some of the top companies in your field? Also, SAP and related fields have a lot of work these days so it should really not be that big a struggle to find something initially, even without UK Experience. When you surf job portals, quite a few t...
In the contract its says Notice from employee: 1 month From employer 1 week Is this all your contract seriously says about termination? If yes, then sorry to say that it doesn't seem to be a very professional company. For permanent roles, it's either the same for both sides or more from the employe...
Further, I guess you need to hit the £50k salary to get an extension to your PSW visa. If your salary is quite close to this then you could try to convince your employer to give you a one off bonus to get you over the £50k mark and then extend your visa? This is, again, not unknown for a employer ...
It's unfortunate for you but its true that the Govt has made in country sponsorships for work an incredibly impossible task. Regarding your employment, I can provide the following scenarios 1. Your contract terms - Based on your notice period being anywhere between 1 and 3 months, the employer or yo...
Still I bet my English is far better than most of the people in India. And I agree. Regarding your job, if you take the one in Finance, stick on for a min of 6months and then start looking out for roles once you are comfy and have some domain knowledge. I usually recommend sticking to a company for...
Many people are divided on the option of 1. Securing a role in a new domain with a pay cut 2. Sticking to current domain with decent salary While both options have their own pros and cons, I feel that, in your case, the pay difference is really big. It is really good to get a break into the Finance ...
One in London & one in Glasgow (both IT majors in financial domain) London Offer: 31k Glasgow offer: 35k 31k in finance in London sounds rather low :shock: Quite shocking to see that companies now are ready to even go that low and think people will accept such an offer - Most Consulting and Pro...
Im totally game a for nice night out and lots of drinks - I start my weekend drinkin on Thurs nights anyways - you are from Mumbai and Im from Mlore/Blore so catching up on drinks will be super fun
Hopefully you are not too old for me or vice versa...ha ha....
Not sure if that's a compliment or a poke but its fine. I have given a lot of details about myself so just search for it - its all there in one of my first posts on this forum. I joined this forum after being a long time observer and got seriously fed up with the nonsense and illogical reasoning beh...
For so called background checks - its more about you as a person. All checks are done by external agencies and this will be to check if you have criminal convictions, your legal status, any bankruptcy declarations and those sorts - this is standard and they do it just because it is a legal requireme...
Mohan, They will not know whom to contact at the last organization you worked without you providing contact details of your manager. And almost all companies never approach your previous employers without your consent - if they do so and reject you on that basis then its good in a way because its no...
ENGLISH guys....look at the way you write - if you practice to write properly with the right grammar and tense, then you will also speak correctly which will then improve your communication skills a lot!!!! It's an absolute nightmare reading the last 3 posts with just apalling use of the English lan...
I back you on that as well Elena!!!
But then we all have to be ready for the wonderfully constructed and inventive English and grammar that will be used on such posts.....guess it will be fun though
Elena - you are right in what you say but do not quote me and take my statement out of context. I clearly stated that in MY CASE it has always been 2 rounds of interviews. Also, the reason for my post and again, stated very clearly, is the context in how it was posted. By all means, have a go and ve...
Hi Guys, Please do not take my post in negative way. -Rao Rao - Agreed but you too should not just create a new post that has no meaning nor any substantial proof and for you to make it seem like a very generic experience - I guess this is what you faced across your interviews but I did not so it w...
Ok, I am not very sure if this is the right sub forum and if not, apologies up front and request to relocate it as required. My question is around validity and any issues for the below scenario I will be eligible for British citizenship in a year's time. Now, once I secure this, I plan to also apply...
Hi Interviews are very tough in UK now. Lot of competation. most of the companies are conducting 3 to 4 rounds of interviews. Every company is conducting IKM online exams. Lot of preparation is needed to crack the interview in less number of days. Regards Rao Rao, this sounds more a rant than an ac...
