Anybody jobless here?

Salam,
Damn, 7 months ain't nothing compared to my time of being jobless. I've been jobless for about 2 years now. I'm not looking either, because I'm planning to go back to school.
Your problem is by the way recognizable. Here in Holland a lot of children of immigrants with an Arabian name also don't get jobs easily. Has to do with the negative press about Arabs I guess.
Goodluck in finding a job. wink
Salam all and heart.
Schools did not help me either, I got a PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, but after all being discriminated , although there are lots of jobs out there. I hope you will be OK. I also think that ideas and being self-employed is better, if one could.
Peace

My advice to you is to leave England where you can't get a job with PHD. Try to relocate to U.S. where you can find a good job with your qualifications and they will be more than happy to have you. You will need the H1 Visa which will not be a problem because of Doctorate.
Following are couple of job sites.
Hot Jobs
Monster
Following is Canadian job board.
Workoplis
Search and apply to American Universities where your chances of getting immediate offer are very much higer.
Best luck.

Try American Universities and believe me Americans have very little discrimination against race color and religion. I go and work in U.S. with a Muslim name with looks more like Latin American and am always treated with respect by immigration no harassment by any law agencies and certainly majority of them are nice with few exceptions.
Also try Canadian Universities and Workoplis you will have no problem with your British Citizenship.
I can search and give you the name of Universities.
My duas with you BMBMM and remember me in your duas.

Thanks KGB, I got some canadian backgrounds and look like Italian. But its the name that people are getting more and more sensitive to. I will keep on trying America and Canada. Even my PhD professor here suggested me to try America.
I will keep you informed.

actually, in America it may be more a reaction to the call by citizens to keep usa jobs with usa citizens. It has been a very hot topic in politics over the last fewyears, and YES 9-11 has affected it, but the feeling has been there for sometime. Most people see it as about the same as outsourcing. Might be good for the companies but it sucks for the people trying to find jobs here.

Sawtooth I know what you are saying. I work very legallally because they can't find the right person within U.S. and certainly I don't go to U.S. as cheap labor. I believe you are watching Lou Dobbs racist programs. The guy is against everything which is not American.

Peace. I dont think we should take one example as proof of discrimination in europe. There are muslim politicians in britain.(elected)
Peace all. -
myself have been jobless for more than 7 months, and now strongly believe that I am being discriminated just probably by my Muslim name. Things have changed alot after 9/11, 7/7 etc etc...I am married and expecting my first child. Its very stressful, what can I do?
so by that have u achieved what u wanted to? -)

Peace I can't say no, may be Allah has got something better for me. I agree that I got a scientific background. But with a PhD one does not need to be a scientist as far as career is concerned. PhD is an experiance that can be applied elsewhere lol
