I met one immigration consultant in Surat (Gujarat, India) last year, she asked me what are job opportunities in UK?
My answer was that there are excellent job opportunities in the UK for skilled people. She was surprised by my answer and replied that your opinion is much different then others.
Well thats true, my opinion & view about jobs availability in UK is very different. People says there are no jobs in london or UK, but see this market closely, businesses here need skilled & experienced people. Unskilled job sector is already saturated, and unskilled people are not getting legal wages either.
Getting HSMP does not means that you are highly skilled. In my opinion just by having graduation, masters or phd no one become highly skilled, they can be a skilled one, but high skills comes with experience. Now in new HSMP rules there are no points for experience, just good education & good earning donot means Highly Skilled. But anyway discussing about HSMP is not issue here. JOB, you need a job.
To see the availability of jobs see following websites:
Reed.co.uk is good one, and it shows number of applicants on each post. You can also see total jobs available, Its better you visit websites, find jobs, see other categories that are close to your field of experience, hobbies etc. analyze
