Aliko, i was in wolverhapton. believe me its not easy. even if u get a work like i did, its difficult studying and working at d same time. There is no automatic job waiting for u at the end of your study, dat is if u able to finish. believe me more than 70% of Nigerians dat went to Wolverhampton never graduate and they equally found it difficult to return to naija, because noting to fall back on. Only children of the abuja politicians or State Gov and commisioners or big time biz man. survive it easily. I know my advice will not sound popular to you, but i will say it all d same, keep ur job. Go to Uk for Holidays, visits and come back. I thank God i was able to recover back to Nigeria. Now am doing fine in Naija, I only visit UK once in a while, Think twice, 2 Likes |

@Alikote, Becareful, don't help anybody pick up any small bag or parcel from Nigeria, thats all i can say |
Re: How To Get Menial Jobs In The Uk? by Again2(m): 6:46pm On Sep 01, 2009 |
Olu-Mike: U said all i wanted to say, hope he undertands it, i went through the system, its not easy 4sure |
Re: How To Get Menial Jobs In The Uk? by kadman(m): 7:56pm On Sep 01, 2009 |
Olu-Mike: You are supposed to be a masters graduate ? With English like this no wonder you didn't do well in the UK. . . @ Alikote, a job after graduation is not automatic anywhere in the world,that's what people fail to realise. But if you do can sort out your finance properly you would be glad you did an Msc. It's not all about automatic jobs,it's about long term goals and developing yourself. 3 Likes |

lol @ kadman, I like where you hit the nail on head (a job after graduation is not automatic anywhere in the world) |
Re: How To Get Menial Jobs In The Uk? by erico2k2(m): 12:21pm On Sep 02, 2009 |
@ Kadman Dont you think you could have put your point accross without getting shorty with the post made by Olu-Mike?, what he said there was the absolute truth, how you gonna work and sturday, it aint easy, just to let you know, even Uk citizens who borrow to go to school and payback after the finish and get a Job still have to work p/time,howmuch more of Nigerians who pay Internatinal student rate. @ Poster, Stay and work in Nigeria got to Uk for Hols,that would be the best decision you ever made regarding JOBS and re location. |
Re: How To Get Menial Jobs In The Uk? by kadman(m): 2:36pm On Sep 02, 2009 |
The poster asked about jobs after graduation,he said nothing about working and schooling,please don't discourage anyone because it didn't happen for you. Erico2k2, your own location says UK and you're here telling someone not to travel ? |
Re: How To Get Menial Jobs In The Uk? by iz2much: 3:25pm On Sep 02, 2009 |
what kinda job can get me 20pound per hour? |
Re: How To Get Menial Jobs In The Uk? by OluMike2: 4:47pm On Sep 07, 2009 |
@ Kadman That's quite an ignorant, silly and confused remark u have there, I dont know what advice some1 lyk u who hav never made it to the airport have to give. An advice is required from those who know and can advice with facts not from a day-dreamer lyk u. It is necessary to warn those with wrong impressions about travelling and working abroad. Nobody says dont travel abroad, but if you must, be well informed. Learn from those who have gone there before you. Not many still leaving abroad will give you an honest openioin as we are doing. My advice remains; If u can afford it go abroad and study, or go abroad for holidays and for bussiness. But if you have a well paying job here in Nigeria and you are comfortable keep your job. There is no wisdom in leaving certainty for uncertainty. It is not easier abroad. |

kadman: C'mmon matey, we are Nigerians, not speaking English like the queen is no guarantee you ain't smart enough to get a job. That was some cheap pot shots you took dude. You should apologise to the gentle man! iz2much: Hope you ain't thinking of menial jobs? You won't get 20 pounds per hour on those. For menial jobs it ranges from 5-9 pounds an hour. You might get over 12 pounds if you work as a security person/supervisor (more at night and weekends). I don't know how much things have changed really! You could potentially make more money as an IT person, project consultant and myriad of other things! |

@miz4oxley to get a menial job in the Uk, you can look in your local newspapers, internet and register with agencies just like someone has said. but you need no more than 15 hours a week(part-time) so it wont affect your studies. |
Re: How To Get Menial Jobs In The Uk? by oadaji: 5:42pm On Sep 07, 2009 |
Alikote, you have to be very careful. things are not that rosy or sweet as fellow Nigerians here paint it to you guys back home and like you see on TV. At this moment I will advise you to remain in your job and only come to further your studies here when you are sure that if you decide to go back home there is something waiting for you. |
Re: How To Get Menial Jobs In The Uk? by deji2009(m): 5:44pm On Sep 07, 2009 |
@miz4oxley just a bit of curiosity. are you in the UK at the moment or still in nigeria ? |
Re: How To Get Menial Jobs In The Uk? by PAININASS: 5:46pm On Sep 07, 2009 |
oadaji:Aliko! here is the best advice for you, |
Re: How To Get Menial Jobs In The Uk? by mayordee(m): 5:46pm On Sep 07, 2009 |
@Poster, you can get menial jobs in the UK by registering in some agencies but mind you,u are restricted to only work for 20hrs a week during term time, to be honest,it is hard combining work and studies especially when doing an Msc programme,the coursework alone will surely take most of your time let alone doing a part time job, it depends on you anywais,if you can manage your time very well then u don't have a problem, as regarding Jobs after Graduation, as someone said, it is not automatic anywhere in the world,but don't ever look down on urself that because some people are not getting it you won't put in your best, i have applied to different organisations in the past here in the UK and all the response i get was that am not suitable for the role but that didnt weigh me down, i kept applying till a day i got 2 great offers, just believe in yourself, on a lighter note am sure u know in some areas in the UK like Wales when applying for cleaning jobs u must show u have experience in cleaning , and also make sure u are ready to face panel even to sweep offices, Guy,u must be rugged if you want to survive in the UK 1 Like |
