Who do more people not try to get the Amex credit card? They have me 1,500 at my first attempt with them and have increased my limit 4 times.

Worth a try.

Because not a lot of places accept It, due to exorbitant bank fees.

I personally don't worry too much about the APR since I make sure to pay off all my balance before the due date. I have never paid a pence in interest to any credit card company in the UK.
Sweet. Thank you

The places that accept it are wayyy more than those that do not. At least in my personal opinion.

The person I introduced got £9500 and they increased my Avios air miles by 10000. They are cheerful givers!

Good day elders in the house,I’d like to know if a company sponsors you on tier 2 visa,does it mean I have to work with them for 5 years?
Secondly,can I switch from tier 4 to tier 2 while my program is still ongoing?
Thanks

That's not your NI number...you need to apply separately for it.

As a tier-4 student, all three areas will offer almost exactly the same thing.
In terms of ranking, all the unis are within almost the same band.

In terms of Living & Jobs Aberdeen, Leicester and Ulster are really very similar.

Do I have to stay in the Uk for 3yrs to get a curve credit card

I’ve been in the UK for 3months and I don’t know if it’s possible to get a credit card. Would appreciate feedback from anyone on this, as I would like to start building my credit. Thanks guys

Curve's a really convenient concept.

I have been in Sunderland for a little over two weeks now and I have applied to over 40 jobs all to no avail. I don't know what to do anymore, I have done few interviews and it seems they are all looking for a full time work.

I have experience in sales and I've been applying for jobs as sales assistant, retail assistant etc.

I have a Certificate in IT(British Computer Society), I don't have any work experience in IT so I haven't been applying for jobs related to it.

What do I do? It's really getting to me.

Since when again? I thought this was already stopped since last year?

Update:
It appears some still have it while some don't. Not sure where the distinction comes in though...

Since when?
For a long time now. It usually comes with T2 BRP and some other categories too. Doesn’t come with T4 BRP.

For those who want to gain skills in Construction, HGV and IT. 16 weeks bootcamp and they're supposed to be free - I say supposed because I haven't delved into the nitty gritty of each one.

My partner is using one of them to learn digital marketing and it’s free. They will also help you with your CV and refer you to some roles at the end of the program.

Try to get a standard CV (resume.com or wonsulting on Instagram)

If you are looking to explore s career in IT you should look into watching A+ and s+ videos and think getting the knowledge. As knowledge and experience is valued more than the cert.

Your BCS cert, what were the learning points/objectives
