Pls how do i respond to this mail cos l am worried that i might lose the job if i state that l am currently not in uk. Pls your advise is appreciated.


Ask if they can allow you take the interview remotely as you have some GP appointments around that time

They can also reschedule the interview for you

Does anyone have information about parking at Heathrow Airport

How far are car parks from the airport?
Like how much for a 5hrs parking?
Any restrictions worth knowing before hand?
Will I still need to take uber because of luggages?

I understand I should avoid driving to/in London as much as possible but I just want information about parking in/around Heathrow airport.

Thanks

Hello guys, please I need advice and it's now pretty urgent.

I'm a qualified lawyer in Nigeria and I've been in the UK as a dependent for some time now. All the jobs I'm getting are care jobs which I'm really tired of. Just want to know from those with experience in the UK or that have been there for a long time. What prospect does a Nigerian lawyer have in the UK?

I'm aware I need to write SQE to practice as a solicitor but due to paucity of funds, I can't afford that for now. What can I be doing in the interim asides care jobs? What other sector can I easily get jobs? Or what next step(s) do you think I can take

I'll appreciate any advice I can get.
Thank you

Go for governance/compliance roles. You don’t need to re-qualify for those.

Which particular sector will depend on your specific practice experience.

DM and I will try to assist with your applications.

Best of luck.

Not far and you won't need Uber just get trolley for your luggage. Check Heathrow website for the parking fee, but I think it should be sub Β£20 for that duration. You can also check your car for low emission zone compliance.

Person jam my car while it was parked, while my car also enter person building (fence pulled down) the person left the scene (not a run-away driver I think), but police said it’s criminal as he left the scene, eye witness we’re able to get the car details.

All in all, my point I was asked every question you could imagine. By both police and insurance coy.

Make people shaa no lie for insurance companies that’s all I can say, up to the point of what is your job type and use of car, your mileage you inputted while buying out the insurance and so on.

It’s also very important to update any change in personal details most especially address.

Let you car be in good condition, don’t drive with tyres beyond the allowable legal limit.

Wahala plenty for this UK auto insurance.

Checked my details and realized I still have my old job; tried updating form Administrator (Private Healthcare) to Accountant (NHS) and I'm seeing additional Β£258 payment for 4 months. I'll just cancel and get a new one, but is this how someone will keep paying each time we change job?

Does this attract the cash withdrawal fees as well?

I think @Lexusgs430 meant money transfer cards. They work the same way as balance transfer cards - a small percentage is charged as fees when approved. My bank offer 2..5% fees on the money transfer value with 0% interest up to 18months. If approved, the money goes straight into your nominated bank account. No additional charges for the 18 months as long as you make the monthly minimum payment.

Elfie market does not charge a bank transfer fee (and account is credited within 10 minutes).....

You can use any of the creams that have been suggested above. make sure your body is still a bi wet while applying the cream that way it blends into the skin easily. That’s what I do
