That is not what he is saying. They worked at Tesco to be able to live while looking for a job consistent with their skillset. It didn't work out and they left in frustration. They didn't come all this way to work in Tesco and think that's good enough to get citizenship via the Hsmp route.shockboy2000 wrote:i think people (such as your tesco friends with bad taste in their mouths) tend to forget the highly skilled migrant scheme is to attract highly skilled people to do highly skilled jobs.
hsmp scheme is to attract higly skilled. but just because someones circumstances force them to work in tesco does not mean that they are not highly skilled. not every one is loaded with money when they come on the hsmp scheme. also many students would have moved on to the hsmp scheme. so while they were on a job search, people would have worked where ever they could till they got the job that suited their skills.shockboy2000 wrote:i think people (such as your tesco friends with bad taste in their mouths) tend to forget the highly skilled migrant scheme is to attract highly skilled people to do highly skilled jobs.
Shock Boy...SYH is right that u were not able to comprehend the Original Post.....The tesco workers I am referring to are ALL highly skilled in their fields and their occupation is in SHORTAGE in the UK....two of them were outstanding young achievers in their respective countries...even record holders... They did not expect rosy scenarios.shockboy2000 wrote:i didnt say they werent highly skilled,
even before the change in late 2006 requiring points yet again for renewal, the applicants were deemed highly skilled to have got hsmp visa in the first place.
theyre just not doing what what they should be doing under the visa.
i'll retract the "easy street" comment...it was a bit of a generalisation
maybe the INITIAL hsmp doco, application forms etc need to emphasise more the expectation (which leads to criteria for renewal).
Then applicants understand they need to hit the ground running. i.e. so its not until end of first visa period, when they look at RENEWAL application form, that they see they were expected to be earning 40K (or whatever combination of age,$,degree).
this, i feel, would ensure people have a serious think before applying of likelihood of finding suitable job when they arrive...which would start with contacting employers from their home country/before switching to hsmp as i was eluding to in prev mail.[/i]
anyway, dont know why im defending it...i'm sure it'll change and affect me in the future since im not bothering to obtain higher degrees etc...
Yes, they are doing well..because they already had work experience with premier companies....just that the grass on the UK side seemed greener to them from there...especially because one can never earn the same amount in monetary terms back home. My gf makes more as a nanny here than she used to as an administrator at the topmost school in philippines, but is very unhappy here because in the end a nanny is a nanny, and her english language skills are going down the drain. Might have somthing to do with Maslow's heirarchy of needs.herts wrote:Billybreezer, so did you friends from tesco manage to find jobs in their field in their country now ?
