Hi everyone!!

Hello!! :hiya

This website is amazing!!Im soo glad i stumbled upon it!!I just moved to the UK 2 weeks ago.Kind of difficult to get adjusted to the weather.Can be soo depressing and dreary when you are used to a lot of sunshine!!I guess this is probably not the right place to introduce myself...but it made sense since its a forum for Indians in the UK!!

I live in Leamington Spa with my husband who works here.

Hope I can make friends out here!

Cheers!!
I

Hi Igm,


If you ever need any advice please don't hesitate to ask me.
I'm quite good at job and careers questions as I use to work in recruitment until I lost my job

How are you liking Leamington Spa? I'm sure its nothing like back home but hay!

So do you go out and explore? I kbow its very daunting when you move to a new area let alone a new country hay!

Re: Hi everyone!!



thanks pad...i feel really welcome!!
Im sure I'll be quite an active member here!!

@ Eli : Im soo sorry about your job....must be a recession victim huh?:-/ I hope some thing good comes up for you soon!!

I do want to start looking out for job soon.I hear its pretty tough here.I have absolutely no work experience to speak of.Been a student all the time!Im armed with an engineering degree and MBA from reputed Indian Universities.How do I go about job hunting??

It can be really so boring to just sit at home here.The english weather just adds to it.

Leamington is quite lovely actually...I havent been to any other place in England so I dont really have anything to compare it with!Im in love with the library and the gorgeous gardens here....Im looking forward to see how things will be in spring!

 

Hello everyone!!!

I did start my own little introductory thread ystrday...just saw this now!
Im from Leamington....or maybe Im currently in Leamington...Im from bright, sunny colourful India!!
Thats what I missed the most when I got here...there isnt much colour around here!!.Somehow colours like pink and orange look all dull!Maybe its because of winter and things will brighten up during summer.
And I understand what some of you meant by the lack of social life here.Ive stayed in the Middle East for years and although it has its own customs and cultures,there is always a very active and vibrant Indian Community there and
you dont really feel far from home!!
I havent really seen many Indians around here either.And shockingly I even havent seen my neighbours!!I suppose everyone more or less keeps to themselves.
Im newly married as well...my days have fallen into routine of getting to know my husband and the place where I live.....
Ive also started experimenting with cooking now...I dont particularly enjoy it but its worth to see the expression on my husband's face when I cook something all on my own!!

luv
I

 

Hi Igm,

The first step you could take is getting your self some valuable work experience.

So what ever you graduated in apply to loads of companies within that industry/sector with your grades and a covering letter saying you have just graduated and you would like to do some work experience for their company (remembering to change the name each time)

The second step you could take is to sign up to online job boards for free and apply for positons online. It quick and easy just type job boards into google and loads will come up -their really good. If you want to know some specific ones just ask me

Lastly the only other adviceI can think of is to apply for graduate roles, you have a higher chance of getting a job that way usually in these positions you get trained on the job.

All the best of Luck !!
