My Feb job search experience

[nshar1]

Sharing my job search experience...

I have been working with a reputed financial services organization on contract which is finishing shortly.
I am into java JEE with more than 10yrs of experience.


I started my job search in the first week of january. Have been getting,on an average, one genuine call a day. But got my first interview only after 1 month of search;cleared the same and got the offer.


The fake calls from recruiters were very depressing, so I put a note on my CV that I will not be disclosing the details of where my CV has been sent or where I am interviewing, under any circumstance.
This tremendously reduced the number of fake calls and brought some peace of mind.
I don't think I lost any genuine calls because of the above statement.


My advice to job seekers(Knowing fully well that I don't have any great skills in job search, but still wish to share what helped me):
- Keep your technical skills strong and up-to-date
- Read all sorts of interview questions from the net - these questions get repeated in most of the interviews.
- Be aggresive in your job search - update your CV regularly on job boards(This is very very important),apply for jobs on job boards, get certifications
- Hope for the best to happen to you.

I think this is very useful tip and does make lots of sense.

Congratulations am glad finally someone has some good news! It is so depressing out there at the moment!

See the key here is that you are VERY experienced in your field and very experienced in your industry. Therefore getting a job won't be anywhere near as hard for you with UK experience as it will be for new arrivals.

Hi All,

I hope all of you persueing do succeed in your efforts.

I have my Visa approved in Jan.

I have been getting call from consultants on regular basis.

I feel the best way to approach the situation is to strike it head on.

I have 5 years of Work Experience in SQL Server 2000/2005, SSIS ,SSRS.

I am looking forward to move to UK in March.

We cannot escape that the market is dead but there is nothing else other than trying , one of my close friends came back from UK since there were no job offers for him. I am planning to move to UK as there are certain personal obligations.

I would really like to thank the forum for enabling me to get the Visa.

I hope I would keep you all updated on my end.

All consultant ask me for a date for me to be in UK

Guys , keep your eyes open and keep looking.

May god be with us.

good luck.

i have been receiving calls too - but how many of those calls will land us in a job ? anyone's guess.

if i had called 5 agents in india, i would have attended atleast 2 job interviews.

here you need to call 50 agents to get interview and you will sit against 10 people and have to get through 4 levels of interviews sometimes. pathetic crap !

[SallyA]

It is very competitive right now - there are more people looking for jobs than jobs themselves so that is why it is like this!

At the end of the day you have to keep trying or you will get no where
