The UK job market is an experienced-based market, it's either you look for jobs tailored to your experience back in Nigeria or you decide to start a new career path by going for graduate or entry roles that require no experience to start. Good thing you are not looking for sponsored visa jobs for now so this is my personal advice, I have been seeing large companies like Lloyds bank advertising for entry-level business analyst roles, which they call apprentice Business analyst roles, I have also seen another Large company known as Legal & General advertised same, so check out things like that and apply. Apprenticeship roles as Business analysts, Data analysts, and others are a good way to go, for 12 or 24 months or so they will train while you work, with this you have solved the UK experience-ish barrier and you can move on from there. Good luck, so target large organisations for apprentice roles.

Just to add, salary amount should not be your problem now as this is where our people are missing it. Your priority is to define your career path and integrate fast into the Uk system

Thanks boss.

Is it okay to email or phone HR for an update?

I believe this is straightforward, you will have to provide evidence for the source of funds. E.g a gift from someone, a sale of a property. I believe you are not asking anyone here about faking documents. Goodluck ☺️

This is your go-to spot for non-profit jobs: charityjob.co.uk

You might want to highlight your skill set, experience and interest. The UK job market isn't big on certification rather experience and expertise.

Also, you might want to define your career path, helping those in such sector to give more direct pointers.

All the best.

Thank you for your input. God bless

Hi, not sure about what you need but if it’s visa application , you can call them that you have your travel ticket and you need a schedule appointment. Last year, I called London office with my plane ticket at hand and they got me an appointment at Edinburgh. Please note that on their website they mentioned if you have tickets booked, you can call them.



Thanks.
Yes, I did call them but not London office.

Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by LifeisShort01: 9:12pm On Mar 28, 2023
@Lexusgs430, pls kindly explain this ISA in a layman English. My Bank has suggested it to me ahead and advised I register before the financial year ends.
I don't understand it at all.

You can withdraw it but you will pay a fine of 25%.

Example:

You have deposited £4,000 and govt. has given you £1,000 (which is 25% of your deposit). You now have £5,000.

When you want to withdraw, you'll loose 25% of £5,000 which is £,1250.

Use the above calculations for different amounts.

I don't know if you can withdraw part of your contribution. I only know govt. will give you 25% and you'll loose 25% of the new total if you withdraw. Moneybox live chat is very responsive if you'd like to speak with them.

It attracts a 25% charge if you withdraw other than than to use it to buy your first home, are over 60 or terminally ill

Please what type of chemical is best to control or mitigate moulds formation around the wall and roof ? Mould is full everywhere in my house,and is not quite long that we moved into the flat.

Buy Dettol Mould and Mildew Remover. Thank me later. You can also try Astonish, Dettol is better though.

That said, it would kill all the mould and they would disappear in minutes. HOWEVER, if the root cause is not treated, they would be back in few weeks during winter. Consider airing, heating and dehumidifying the room. Check for other major issues that is causing the moisture.

Depends on the provider. For instance, Moneybox does it month-end for funds received before 4th of the month. If it was paid after 4th, will be the next month-end. Something like that

Thank you for your response.

The address on the card is correct.

Yes the name is different as I am paying for a child.

What can I do? The child doesn't have a card.

If you register the card with them, you would be able to the child and 4 others(i think) and effect payment. Had the same problem and as soon as I registered my card, it when through.

I'm trying to book a return ticket to Abuja from London but there seems to be very limited tickets.
I'm looking at 2nd May - 12th May or 27 May to 7 June but for some reason I'm getting overnight layovers and hardly any Lufthansa flights at all.

I flew with Lufthansa about the same time last year and was spoilt for choice. I didn't even book till 4 weeks prior and there were loads of options. Same thing the year before.

Has Lufthansa reduced their flights to Nigeria?
What site do you use to search flights? I used Google and Skyscanner.

Would taking apprenticeship roles not be termed as public funds for those of us still new in the country?
Please, pardon my ignorance. Ese
