    To All those people who complain about the Indian companies:

    WHY DON'T YOU JOIN THEM?

    they are always advertising to get UK & US people-specially on Monster - as they have got more work than people.

        Surprisingly they don't pay that anymore. My friend went there got paid more than his UK salary and house, car with driver !!! On the down side he has put on so much weight that he ain't going to lose it all. Last year 32000 UK expats went to India.

            You might also want to post to:

            monster.co.uk

            Bizarrely I seem to get most calls from agents through monster....

            Hey thanks for the tip on Monster. I posted my CV there and got a call from an agent two hours later.

                Have to say I was looking for a new gig recently, and the majority of the agents who called me about work I hadn't applied for, had got my details off Monster.

                Jobsite also seems to be a place they trawl for CV's.

                  I have recently agreed to an extension (not signed yet), but it was mainly based on the 'devil you know' factor. The commute here is a pain, and I need a holiday.. but I am enetering the make hay while the sun shines pahse' .. makes me feel more confident about next year, if I have squirreled some nuts away.

                    I only get permie calls from Monster

                    Worse, they are permie calls for consultancies

                    Jobsite is good, though.
