OP My understanding is services sector is doing better than manufacturing, maybe you should try to widen your net and be open to other sectors. The first job in the UK i settled for one step lower and also not 'bang on' in my field of experience. but i used it as a platform to get to a role of my ch...

double post.

maverickstoned I'm in the Mechanical Engg. field and based on my experience I would say English or CV presentation cannot be a stumbling block in getting a job interview. Unless you want to be an editor with Guardian, people dont really care about the grammar - provided u have the technical skills a...

I have applied for OCI on 30th Sept and have not received any acknowledgement. I cannot see any confirmation on the web status finder too. The trouble is, I created an online application which I discarded as it had some errors., and then I filled in another registration application which I used to ...

" Quote "One could be simply sending her back to her country if the husband cannot pay her bills" Your idea for an alternative method for the UKBA doesn't sound very compassionate does it? compassionate or not but I think it would be pretty good. Also I do not understand that "s...

I'm reminded of my boss (just so I don’t use any other title) early in my career while discussing about my job promotion, he said …"you can call yourself a manager if you want, I don’t mind, but will it make you one ?" End of the day all job titles and classifications does not mean m...

I am a contractor and would I agree with the 'one trick pony' statement ?- no. again based on my experience, I don’t find a big difference in the role contractors and permie perform, except the managerial stuff which the employer wants limit to staff people as co. policy. again saying staff are mo...

It’s a bit strange to find someone with a Masters looking for 'AutoCAD job'. AutoCAD is a drafting tool used In many industries in many disciplines. and its mainly for people with HNC, HND experience in in the uk. It would be rare to find a engineering degree holder working as mainly a autocad dra...

while applying for naturalisation, the applicable section of the nationality act is section 3(5) - Is this correct?
