Hi BillyGBillyG said:Hi BSRK68,
I got the point of the thread. I was trying to make a point about not approaching consultants. I was saying that there are many resources available ... AEO is surely the most preferred route to getting employment but if employers are not ready to go thru HMRDC then it would make more sense to research and contact employers directly and see if they will give some feedback..... Thats all I was trying to say....

Now I am very sure you did not get the whole point of this thread. Ok lets paraphrase it:
1. "AEO is surely the most preferred route to getting employment"
I Say: NO. Most preferred way is IN PERSON and Placement Agencies AFTER you have landed.
2. "if employers are not ready to go thru HMRDC then it would make more sense to research and contact employers directly and see if they will give some feedback"
I ASK: How will that help to obtain an AEO required for Immigration?
My Friend, we are discussing "ARRANGED EMPLOYMENT OPINION" which fetches 15 Points in your immigration application and bypasses the 29 Professions list. In this thread, it was never indicated that consultants are finding you "JOBS". All he is saying...is that consultants are charging an arm and leg to find prospective employers for you just so that you can Immigrate under the AEO category...and most of these "OFFERS" are fake.
I hope I was able to get it across now....pls don't get mad !!! Just for argument's sake...
Cheers
