Its definitely a difficult time but few jobs are still availablle. Search in www.jobserve.com your kind of job and see how many requirements are posted - with that, you will be able to decide whether to come or stay overseas for a while.mohan76 wrote:Hi Friends,
We all know that recession has badly it all the developing country and UK is not an exception. It is badly it as per the news on web, paper and my known people in UK.
So friends who have got the hsmp visa in DEC, JAN AND FEB 09 are in delimma and not clear whether this is the right time to visit UK and try for JOB.......can we be successful ?
I know it depends on the individual talent, qualification, experience etc and then common thing to look upon is safety before leaving the present job and going to UK.
I would request senior's who are already in UK to through some light and help us understand. Thank you friends.
keenly await responses...
If anyone actually did the above, could they please advise how they got 1-2 months leave from their company? I find this very difficult with my company/manager. Also, what all problems could be there if we resign from UK itself ?

1) not resign from their current job in home country
2) try for jobs through networking/job sites etc. and try to secure atleast a few interviews.
3) If you secure interview, then come to to UK without leaving current job
4) If selected for the job then go back to home country, resign and then come to UK for work

It's unprofessionalism, and will cost you in long term.Also, what all problems could be there if we resign from UK itself ? (Why spend on a round-trip when you are not going to serve the notice period in home country anyway!!)

I think achieving 2) is not possible under current market situations being in your home country.Vanadil wrote:Perfect Advice.nnj10 wrote:I have personally advised a couple of my friends who are in similar situation to yours, to do as follows:

You are absolutely right. It's very difficult to get a positive response against job application via web. They just confirm the application OR tell we will keep you posted about the progress OR tell, contact us once you are here in UK OR Unfortunately your CV is not successful this time, but we have updated our database and be in contact for any future openings.ukdest wrote:I think achieving 2) is not possible under current market situations being in your home country.Vanadil wrote:Perfect Advice.nnj10 wrote:I have personally advised a couple of my friends who are in similar situation to yours, to do as follows:

There are lot of people chasing a job and consultants are not keen on forwarding resumes of people still in their home country.
I hear the same sentence from each consultant - "Give me a call when you are in the country"
If anyone could arrange an interview before leaving, i would like them to share their experience...
If we do not resign from present job and do get a get a job in UK, then we would almost surely be asked to join at max within a weeks time(if not in days). Within this period, one needs to come back, resign and then go back again. I doubt whether all the formalities will be completed in home country job like this because in my case the official notice period is 3 months (They might not even accept my resignation in a weeks time!!). So unless one wants to severe the relations with the home country employer (which most would not like to), all of the above should be thought of properly..nnj10 wrote:I have personally advised a couple of my friends who are in similar situation to yours, to do as follows:

Hi Reader, thanks for sharing such an vital information. Your information regarding depandent is very alarming. How did you learnt about this ??.....are they going to make such rules immediately...?? Do share its very very important to learn about this...Reader wrote:I would suggest to wait out 3-4 months and see !!, with new regulations in place they are making it hard for anyone outside EU to find a job, and if you have a dependend beware they might bring in a regulation where dependant doesn't automatically gets the right to be a part of labour market and may have to apply independently for his or her Tier 1.
