Thank you
Will do the LinkedIn stuff
Schoolhike:


Almost all NHS interview I’ve had in the past always ask question regarding, confidential and diversity, team work, some don’t even ask question about tell me about you self, I always tell them about my self even if they don’t ask me to, I will start my discussion with that.

Look for someone to run you a mock, use Ai to generate interview questions using the job description and roles and responsibilities or copy and paste all information on the job page and paste. You can even ask AI to answer the questions for you using examples Or scenarios.

If you don’t find anyone to help, you can Try LinkedIn and use the job title for the search, look for possible a black working in that aspect and ask the person out about their day to day job.

Meanwhile, lots of questions comes from the job descriptions and roles and responsibilities.


Funny personal stories about AI, I applied for data role, I tried as much as possible to do lots of google research including the company website to understand the job roles, because the one used for advert is just too generic.

I went to ai, with a copy of all related information from the company website and job description, I told ai to give me a scenario of a day to day job scenario of that particular jobs, with that I now know what the job entails clearly.

Went on to the interview, was asked what I know about the company, and what do I think I would be doing, said everything AI gave me, they said, that’s exactly all that they do. (Didn’t get the job because someone from another competitor company was interviews also )

“Spray painting often involves hands-on training and practical skills, which are usually learned through in-person apprenticeships, vocational schools, or on-the-job training.

However, there are numerous online platforms where you can learn and improve your spray painting skills, though these may not provide a formal, accredited certification. Websites such as Udemy, Coursera, or Skillshare offer courses on spray painting and other forms of art.

In terms of certification, I would recommend checking with local trade schools, technical institutes, or community colleges in your area that offer programs in auto body repair or industrial painting, as these often include modules on spray painting. Some professional organizations, like the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) in the US, offer certifications in areas such as automotive painting.

Keep in mind that health and safety training, such as understanding how to handle hazardous materials and use personal protective equipment, is also crucial for professional spray painters.

Here are some websites where you can get spray painting job certification in the UK:
Train the Painter offers a variety of spray painting courses, including the Spray Painter TTP Silver module, which covers health and safety, paint materials, airless spray paint equipment, conventional air spray paint, and plural component spray painting.
Abode Academy offers a range of spray painting courses, including Airless Spray Painting, Upvc Spray Painting, and Automotive Spray Painting.
Skills Development Scotland offers a Spray Painting Level 2 NVQ course, which covers the principles of spray painting, the use of spray equipment, and health and safety.
City & Guilds offers a Spray Painting Level 2 Diploma course, which covers the same topics as the Skills Development Scotland course, but also includes more advanced topics such as surface preparation and finishing.
National Occupational Standards (NOS) is a set of standards that define the knowledge, skills, and behaviours required to work in a particular occupation. There is a NOS for spray painting, which can be used as a basis for training and assessment.”

You don't need anything. Just have your BRP handy and maybe your job's offer letter. BRP was the only thing that was asked of me when I went for the interview and that was only just sighted.

Thank you so much.

Cost of living is substantially higher in Kent than in Northampton. You can confirm this by using Zoopla/Rightmove to check what rent would be, as that would be the biggest expense.

Since you don’t have kids yet, then I’d say go for Northampton and save as much as possible in preparation for getting a house in a place where you’ll want to stay long term and raise your children when you have them.

Another other factor is your own employment - will you be more likely to find the work you want in Kent or Northampton?

What do you expect? Population of both Countries are about 2m and 3m compared to England with almost 60m so naturally, most people and conversations will be in England.

You need to refer to it as Northern Ireland though unless you're not talking about UK.

Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by igbsam(m): 3:41pm On Jul 28, 2023
A quick question guys. So i met with some couples during one of our outings and we got talking. The company he got a sponsorship with offered him 2yrs sponsorship, his wife is working with the nhs and was offered sponsorship as well, but due to child care. They both agreed the husband gets the sponsorship while the wife goes on bank with nhs so she can be flexible with child care. They raised a concern i asked them to inquire about while i do same for them. After the 2yrs elapses and maybe the sponsoring company decides not to continue sponsoring, can the wife take up sponsorship with nhs while the husband switches to dependent ? Them doing 2yrs already, and the wife getting maybe 3 or 5yrs sponsorship, will they start all over again counting to ILR and the 2yrs done by the husband wasted ? Or they just combine both years and then count down to ILR seeing they just switched main sponsored roles. Note: they're both in the healthcare sector.

If they go that way, the counter to ILR will be reset.
