I'm able to land a job in UK while in India . I would like to share my experience & strategy here -
- After I got my Tier-1 visa on 8th Jan, I uploaded my CV in about 20 jobsites, sent my CV to few reputed agencies and to few contacts through linkedin. Also sent to 1-2 agencies listing jobs in Indian jobsite naukri.com having job location UK.
- I had prior UK experience of 13 months back in 2006-07 which I highlighted in cover letter.
- My cover letter & CV had a link to my linkedin profile where I have got some nice recommendations. Also I was able to secure two excellent references of my previous UK customers.
- For 2 weeks in middle of January I religiously applied to jobs posted in all jobsites relevant to my skillset. I used indeed.co.uk which collates from all other sites.
- I got around 1 response every other day (on my Indian phone ofcourse). Apart from calls there was atleast 1 mail everyday. There weren't any fake calls (nobody will make a fake call to India ). Most of the responses were interested to know whether I can come down to UK to attend a F2F interview. And some were contract positions (which I was more inclined for), but they wanted immediate start.
- Two agencies came back that client is ok with telephonic interviews only. These were for perm roles. One of them had an initial non-technical interview on 2nd Feb but it didn't materialize and the second one had a technical, a non-technical and a hr interview span over 3 weeks and finally after another 3 weeks yesterday they finally sent me offer letter.
I hope this post gives some motivation to people already there in UK hunting for jobs and those in India playing wait&watch game.
But at the same time I wouldn't like to give any false hopes as in last 2 weeks I have seen number of jobs posted on jobsites have gone down drastically (atleast for my skillset) in comparison to jobs posted in month of January.
Skillset - Oracle Business Intelligence
Experience - 8-1/2 years
Offered Job Role - Business Intelligence Architect
EC granted from - 15-JAN-09
1. You can search in indeed.co.uk and register your CV in atleast 10 UK jobsites. It would be worthwhile to see how many search results you get in indeed.co.uk.sam_1 wrote: Firstly I want to congratulate u for getting jon in UK setting at India.
