bodyguard wrote:Hi,
I have got HSMP in Dec'06 and am applying for jobs ever since. I have 7 yrs of experience in the field of symbian & embedded systems. I am looking for a permanent job with around 45K GBP salary. But its been 3 weeks of job hunting, and till date, not a single interview has been arranged.
I have not applied for EC yet, as I was thinking that if I could get a job first and then I could apply for EC. I am daily applying to jobs through cwjobs.co.uk, and have also posted my cv in monster.co.uk..
I do get some mails from consultants, some of them say that they have send my application to so and so company, but do not get back any feedback.. Some consultants (employment agencies) say that they could help me only when I am in the UK. And, some consultant say that there is a hiring freeze in some companies.
My queries are:
1. Am I expecting correct salary for my experience?
2. Is the job market in UK slow this year in 2007?
3. What is the typical time for getting a job in the UK?
4. Is my method of job searching correct?
Please help me..
I have started to lose faith in finding any job in the UK, and feel that it was a mistake to apply for HSMP in the first place

I use to apply for 100 jobs a day from India but I do not get ANY response. Working in Cisco, in Embedded Systems/device drivers field with 2+ yrs of exp. Is it not good exp?
How much time does it take to grab a job in UK after you are in?
Thanks!
Actually it's a chicken egg situation. Getting a job in UK from India is quite unlikely. Moreover, unless you have someone who will provide you accommodation, 30 GBP per day is way too low to live in London! 50 GBP/day is a reasonable estimate.bodyguard wrote:but, i am very much afraid.. it costs a lot of money staying there in london (atleast 30gbp per day).. also, without any job at hand, going to uk looks very frightening to me..
I am talking of ERP ( SAP ) and testing , the same holds good in embedded systems as well .hsmp28122006 wrote:Suneel, Which technology area and languages do you know?
