Tips to Find a Job in UK

[Mrs.Smith]

I used to program in COBOL too!!!

When I started working in Accenture after I graduated and passed the ECE board exam, the company put me in Java programming training for 4-6 weeks I think. But then they put me in a project/client who uses COBOL 400 in AS400 platform. The client then put me in training for COBOL programming after 2 years of working for them already! Hahahahha.. I've also had lots of training for software testing coz I was the one in charge in my team for regularly testing our software aside from fixing bugs and programming.

Then I resigned (after being in Accenture for almost 4 years) and worked for 6 months in Singapore and when I went back to work in the Philippines, the client I was lined up for cancelled the project. So because the new company can't offer me any projects using COBOL 400, I was put up in projects as a Test Analyst. I was earning a salary as a developer but working as a Test Analyst which was an advantage for me! I stayed in that company for almost 4 years before going to UK.

And now here in the UK, I've got calls for jobs as a Test Analyst/Developer (exactly the same work I left in the Philippines) but the location is just too far, one was in Stratford-upon-Avon and the other one was in Brussels! Nothing here near our area, but I've seen a lot in Liverpool, Manchester and down South which are too far for me.

Why don't you apply in Accenture here in the UK? They might have a job for you. But I'm not sure if employees have to be client based or have to work in Accenture offices. The nearest Accenture office for me is in Manchester! But I'll try to pass my CV just in case.

I'm considering that. But I'm trying find a job just near my area. Just giving myself a few months and then I'll try to pass my CV to Accenture UK, just that its really far from where I live. Wishing you good luck.
