Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Has anyone emmigrated without having a job lined up AND during a recession??

Thinking aloud here:-

One option would be to go there as a tourist for a few weeks and do as I did a few yrs ago - go for cold interviews having sent my resume from the UK earlier in the hopes of getting a job without having to go through the immigration process.

Another option would be to ’land’ as an immigrant, then start job hunting but resign myself to the fact that I will have to deplete my savings in the process.

Third - Not go at all (4 yrs work down the drain) and hang onto my job and life in this country.

Fourth - Decline the visa, re-apply straight away and wait out the recession while the visa application is being processed - once again.

Dear Alex,

You did not mention where you are going :) Most of countries in the world are building according their immediate needs only.

Best Regards,

Samer
