Hi friends. I'm from Delhi, India, I have completed my MCA(Master of computer application). I have done CCNA and Linux certifications. I have 2.5 year experience as network engineer. Now I want to search job abroad. So my interest is to Go U.S.A. or U.K. . Can anybody suggest me how I can get there. Or How I can apply a job in there USA and UK? Or is there any other good country which I can serve better with my knowledge?

Qualified & experienced, eh? We'll have you here.
Wages are high; cost of living is low & house prices in Queensland are falling rapidly this past month. Why would you want to go anywhere else? Here you can play cricket still, go surfing & get a sun tan just about all year 'round (you'd be good on a surf board!). We have many Indian grocery stores popping up everywhere, so you should be 'right for tucker. I'm an electronic technician, currently in the automotive sector & have no experience of what things are like in the realm of network engineering. You may check it out for yourself on some of our leading job search websites:

I'm not sure on how to apply for jobs overseas, except to say that you will need a work visa & go through our immigration department, which is a bit tricky these days. Having said that, dumb little Australia is always happy to have educated & experienced migrants in our workforce, so you'd be "in with a chance" down here!

Yes, that's me. I've been married for six years already (our anniversary last week). Glad you liked it. Your own photo has quite a rugged appeal - drive the women wild down here!

Hmmm.. Thank you my friend. I'm searching through these websites. I'm sure I'll get a job over there in Australia. I have heard that Australian people always welcome intelligent people. And I like this. As you said that you are a electronic technician. That sounds good actually My second choice was electronics after computer engineering. Well right now just because I have completed my master's degree I can't go back and select electronics..lol...Is that your pic in your profile? If yes! then you are a handsome man. How much Girl-friends you have huh!

You only have 2.5 years expreience, and thats nowhere near enough to break into the USA. I think you need to research that carefully as theres not much hope I dont think.
As for here in the UK, they let anyone in. Just have a look around for jobs and apply. You're likely to get the job you apply for because most places dont like employing British people because they think they will look racist if they do that.
As for which certification to do, I say dont bother. With a masters, you should have no problem getting the job. Cisco qualifications only last for 3 years before they need to be renewed, and Linux isnt very widely used. If you did want to go down the linux route, you'd need to get the job first in order to know which specific area to get certified in. Its added expense that you should be saving up if you're looking to emigrate.
Good luck.

Hi La Chique. Thank for the response. It is very helpful to me. I'm bit confused. as per record on internet it says that 53% websites hosted in linux. And as you know apache web-server is also implemented on linux. So tell me the way that I can get good job in U.K. Because I have heard that if you have talent then U.K. is also good to go with.

I hate the UK. Cant wait to get out! I'll do you a swap haha.
If you are looking at web based work, the UK isnt going to be a good idea. Most work is outsourced. You'd need to be thinking of teaching, or working in hardware to be honest. Try looking around at the network engineer jobs. They pay ok, but remember the UK has a high cost of living. Expensive property prices, bills etc mean that your wages dont go very far.

Oh...so that's the matter. Means I won't be able to put something into my savings. By the way here in india food and basic things which a person needs to live are cheap. But with that employment is also cheap. You know company want that a person should know all the things...like a single person for hardware software networking and all these things they hire for. So may be I should try USA then. Do you have any idea of any other country? And by the way what kind of job you do?
