    Yeah, I am trying that as well, but they prefer that I would be there when i apply, as most of the recruitment agencies prefer people already in the UK,
    do you know any recruitment consultants, there are a few, i know as well but they prefer that one should be present in the UK at the time of application,

    Its been like two and a half months since i got my visa stamped on my passport, I dont know what to do, I am currently doing a job here in an orascom based company, am currently on a night shift, its 12 hours 9 to 9 and its intense, but the experience is good

    So, going there and then looking for a job around, what do you think, should i take a chance and leave my current job for uk??

    Hi Anaam , How are you , good to hear from you again :) ,

    you must have recently heard that they are going to limit the amount of work permits , thats why i am making my application stronger by asking my bank to back me up by sending the letter about my balance maintenance , thats why my application is delayed a bit
    i will apply as soon as i get it which is within a couple of weeks inshAllah , pray for me ,
    how are you doing there , what are you reading

    Salaam to you ,
    , I am sorry for the late reply , my internet service provider is having some problems in this area so i was not able to come online in the past week ,
    Thanks for adding me in there welcome to my friends list , glad having you here , how were your exams , i hope all is well there, by wicked i mean that its a place where one has to be formal all the time , i spent my time being very formal with everyone.what do you think.
    in Pakistan you dont have to be formal always ,
    tomorrow i am going to apply for my two year work permit to uk by the way , they say that it shouldnt be a problem getting it , so wish me luck .:)

    Salaam to you

    I have to say that I like your patriotism , yes i agree with what you said about the future , the problem is that most of us fail to comprehend that,

    i guess i want both family and stability, thats why i prefer to stay here , but i am not getting a good response now , i will wait another couple of months ,

    about responsibilities lol , you will laugh when i tell you that i still am the youngest one in the house and they still consider me as a child here, and i have no responsibility at all , both of my sisters are married and settled mashAllah,

    no we do call ourselves rich , we consider ourselves as ordinary middle class family ,my father is a retired senior police officer , we have enough Alhamdullilah to cope with all our needs freely,

    about your question , you may find it a bit hard adjusting in terms of adopting to the problems of loadshedding (electricity and gas etc) , weather , traffic , etc

    but these things matter very little when you see the love and acceptance of the people around you which makes all the difference
    ,i can boastfully say that this place is a lot less wicked than the place where you live ,:p

    The school must mean alot to you , yes , i know what you mean , memoirs stay for life ,

    thats an interesting question ,
    Its hard to define my interests at present :) , as a matter of fact i want to ask your opinion about my options,
    My stay in the UK was an eye opener for me ,Its tiresome for someone who hasnt stayed away from home alone previously in life for this span of time
    but it was good for me , as i learnt alot from it , and i started getting used to it at the end which is good ,
    it was a good exposure for me, a huge one , partly because of the place where i stayed which was very formal, the international hall , near holborn , you must know where that is , and partly because of my course which was really stressful ,

    As i am not getting a good response here ,
    I still have the option of the post study work visa which they give us after our post grad, which i may be availing soon although i do prefer to stay here because of my family and i am used to this environment and culture , but i dont have any options , i may be going back to london.

    what would you do if you were me ?,
