good afternoon everyone. Please I need civil servants to explain how they mark interview. I recently attended an interview on teams. After the interview, I felt I did well. However, after the mail I decided to look at the feedback. They said they expected me to have mentioned the name of tool I used for analysis, and what I was told to analyse which I did mention during the interview. However, what I found confusing was that I was scored 11 on strength and 4 on experience. However, my total score was left at 18.

Hwy9:


oga, i need your help. I tried getting a travel insurance for a relative coming to the uk but the cover was shown in euros. I entered destination country as uk suprised to see what it covers in euros. please can you advise.

I was thinking getting one from 9ja should be cheaper. Please let me know how it goes.

Hmm, I'm not sure if they have a specific template for scoring candidates. Sometimes, they are not just interested in someone as a candidate.

I also did an interview recently, touched on everything in the job's essential criteria, and was told that I have all the experience needed for the job but was not successful at the interview.

They gave me data to analyze without a specific question to answer. I summarized the whole dataset with stats and charts, which was well commended. During feedback, he mentioned that I should have included this and that in the analysis. I told him that you and I both know that this is not what data analysis is all about. You can’t just give someone data without knowing what question we want to answer with the data and be expecting an exact answer. He was like, well, that’s true, but this is how the interview is, implying that I'm practically correct.

Just keep trying because the job market is a little bit saturated now.

Over 100 people jostling for one single position.
Have heard of this in many cases.

250jobs was advertised by HMRC, over 10000 people applied for the job.


I guess that your interview is DWP, right?

Congrats bro!

May God make you bigger and widen your coast beyond your heart's desire

Na these kain things I like dey see and hear for this forum and outside, No be care work this and that

Yes. But when I put in destination country as UK . The cover was in euros. The amount insurance cost was about 40k naira but medical cover was in euros. So i got confused let me not pay for something and then it will be that I can't use it. I was expecting to see what it covers in pounds. I was seeing things like emergency medical expenses cover 35k euros. This and that all in euros. That is why i feel uncomfortable with it. Check AXA Nigeria site u will see what i am saying.

If they were in UK before travelling back, it means they have used their CoS, they are now BRP holders. Therefore the chatgpt that generated this post no know book. If within the 10 days the employer have terminated their employment, they have 90 days to get another sponsorship so the chatgpt no still know book because their BRP will be valid.

Your pal is not a standard, he did what best suits him. This family could have planned their holiday to align with the burial period (even though the story is false).

I know there will be cries about shortages within 1 yr though.

Make we dey observe

This has nothing to do with Nigerian immigrants, and you should react very strongly to anyone who attempts to make it look like it does.

What's the responsibility of the community of Nigerians in the UK with what this one man did? Is there not a huge amount of domestic violence in the UK by all sorts of people from all countries?

I'm all for taking responsibility to fix up as a community where necessary but this one man and his madness is his personal problem and no justification for anyone to give Nigerians a bad name.

ehizario2012:


He is Nigerian, that's a fact that cannot be denied. His action has not added value to us, and we must condemn it....

The curtailment period is 60 days to find a new sponsor and this applies only if you are in the UK and have formally been served notice.

When a sponsor licence expires or is revoked it will automatically curtail any individual that is the main visa holder or dependent on the licence if that individual is abroad. The curtailment is deemed served and no notice is required for those overseas. While your checks with the BRP may show they remain valid it may show an entirely different set of circumstances at the internal information systems available at the border.

Most legal practitioners caution that if you are already outside the UK or travel outside the UK, regardless of a formal notice of curtailment, your visa will be automatically voided by default and you will be refused entry as the sponsor license is no longer valid. This is standard practice in the US I believe.

It's a grey area as the home office specifically mentions first time travellers and not those already working in the UK, and it is down to the discretion of the border official. They could offer Temporary Admission for instance but that will be based on their view of the circumstances.

Point noted but the original story is still fake because they would not be travelling with CoS and a used CoS cannot be revoked.

This is a bit discouraging cos how does 11+4 equals 18 according to my total score in the civil service job site when they are not INEC. This is not logical. it means after grading, score was tampered with and they forgot to chnage the total or only an individual was involved in grading. cos it amazed how it passed all quality checks. I interviewed with HMRC.

The other one I did with ofgem, the way the lady acted was like I was profiled. I used my passport as ID and she asked me to take it a bit away from the screen so she could see and screamed "that is a Nigerian passport" and asked me what type of visa I was holding and when it expires. That they do give sponsorship but that it is not guaranteed. I failed that one no feedback was given and was told if i wanted feedback i should send a mail.

jedisco:


Thanks for this.

It's thesame focus about how the media shapes our subconscious that I alluded to while back which ultimately erodes our self-esteem
Why are we not making posts of the overwhelming majority of Nigerians that are not beating their wives... Are those not a positive influence?

Of all the atrocities the British empire commited worldwide, I dont see everyday Brits walking around with a sense of guilt.





Why do you feel the need to condemn the misdemeanor of every Nigerian in the UK?

Many masters students OTOH are pretty much shafted as a good number came with family and jobs paying 38k are not very easy to come by. For many, it's either they go into care (meaning part of the family returns home) or they start looking elsewhere e.g Canada

This reminds me, there was an argument about a Nigerian nurse who has spent 15 years in the UK still being addressed as Nigerian-born. I guess if the situation were flipped, say, a national of another country does something bad, would it be okay to address a white-skinned person as Nigerian even after spending many years or after granting the person a citizenship? Lol, this just crossed my mind.

Will be interesting to see in the next few months. I have searched and searched and this is the only country boxing immigrants into living a life on minimum wage. The effects in the next 7 - 10 years will be insane as most migrants will be stuck at the lower end of society and representation at the upper ends will be further limited (that is where I want to see fellow Nigerians)

The good thing though is that the £38K thing does not affect those who have just graduated but I see a sizable number of Nigerian students leaving the UK (a lot have left already or are planning to leave) as most of the policies are downright sinister and meant to restrict your upwards mobility.

That is exactly why I am always against the care thing or staying too long in it, as I see it as a carefully crafted way to push you into being lower class all your life, which will likely affect your kids too unless careful planning is put in place. Long hours away from family, low pay, and interactions with mostly low-class white people who are all out to drag you to their level, eventually it gets to you and your kids by extension.

I expect things to free up a bit within 1 yr and changes to be made, maybe a bit more stability

I like your thinking and mindset.... Well done
