Hello E-Fam,

Good evening to you all. I have been a silent reader and observer on this thread for quite a while. I must confess that this thread has been of tremendous help to me.

Please I need help on genuine job agencies for healthcare professionals as I have applied for some roles within the NHS and got a few rejection mails. Perhaps, I am not getting it right somewhere...not sure though.

To my seniors in the house, are there some rules I need to follow as regards getting job invites? Do I need to get registered with agencies that are specifically for healthcare professionals?

Thanks


Happy weekend great people.

Depends on his consultant used. When I did mine, it came to about £2000 including the fees charged by the immigration consultants used by my company. There's also NHS surcharge. Some companies do not ask you to sign a bond but mine did. That should not stop you from leaving. He should ensure that his US visa is secured first before moving.



Oh okay...thanks a lot sir...why he is just concerned is that its a two-year rotational graduate trainee programme with HSCB..so he is thinking they might force him to finish the 2 yrs training first before he can opt out......

And for the £2000 fees or whatever cost his own is, since it is at the point of leaving that he will pay such amount...and he as worked fr some months,he should be able to have £2k in his savings....


Thanks once again sir

So yesterday, I finally passed my practical manual driving test, on my 3rd attempt. grin

AFter the first 2 failures, I waited until winter was over and the days got longer, and I went with a different driving instructor. I bought 10 hour with this new guy, and he taught me how to handle roundabouts properly.

Before the test, I was quite tense. Within 5 minutes, I thought I had already made a serious error at the very first roundabout I encountered. I was just pissed off during the rest of the test, and was squeezing face 'cos I was sure I had failed again. It was a pleasant surprise to learn that I had passed.


Time to start shopping for car insurance and car purchase deals.

Congrats bro.

Now you're free to start driving with one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the gear wink

NHS Job is highly competitive at the moment, recruiters get applications from all over the world, so you have to stand out in order to be shortlisted for a face to face interview talk more of Skype, Try and repackage your Statement of Information to suit the Job specification you are applying for, do not use one SOI for different applications,also give professional references, then try and email the person in charge of the recruitment and the head of interview panel too, stating why you want to join the trust,your skills and competences and ask to be given the opportunity to discuss it with them. Just follow them up with emails, I noticed here in the UK,organisations like emails. I hope this would help.

Thanks bro

Please what is the acceptable range for a first time driver?

I am seeing scary figure

I paid just above £1500 to insure my first car. The car itself, a 2002 peugeot with above 100,000 mileage, cost me only £995 to buy. This was 5 years ago though. I currently pay less than £500 to insure a 2015 peugeot SUV crossover. There are some underground comparison sites that give good deals on car insurance way lower than the popular well-known comparison sites.

My latest savings escapade......

I eventually settled for this Legend, but the navigation screen was fuzzy/faulty.....

Seller agreed to fix, but would increase selling cost by £1000 (this was for repair, not replacement)........

I contemplated replacing with android auto, for more enhanced functionality, but i might lose some functionalities, like voice activation etc etc...... ..

I tried to source in the UK, could not find OEM anywhere. My only choice was buying from Honda directly (£1499.00) before VAT.......

A breakers yard in the UK i contacted, only just replied me, he has now listed it on ebay for £178 + & 25 PP..... Thanks but no thanks............

I went yankee surfing, got it at an American breakers yard....

Total cost....... $37.00

My pal is in the states, so he brings it back FOC........

Ijebu boy no dey carry last.......

If you have time try edit/shuffle details of your quote such as job title eg. Secretary to PA, mileage allowance and other little things before you choose. Takes a lot of time but worth it.

Also if possible pay at once rather than put it on direct debit, comes out way cheaper

Wahl Super Taper..........

Why I don't recommend that is because its for professional barbers. Also, the blades are metal and don't have rechargeable batteries.
The one I use has ceramic blades and you can use anywhere especially in front of the bathroom mirror. But if you are a rastaferian, that wahl one will work for you.

I am neither a rastaferian or professional barber, but Wahl super taper, is the DADDY......... grin

The wire is long enough to use in front of a mirror without any hassle.......

Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by imnotconfused: 1:39pm On Apr 28, 2019
Mamatukwas,

Husband has the Wahl vogue,I don't know how to classify it.

He was forming money saving DIY barber and ended up giving the son a life changing haircut.

As in I looked at my son and I could not talk,I wanted to laugh and wanted to cry..he almost scalped him in the name of haircut,left a shiny mess.I just told the boy that it's a cool hairstyle in Nigeria.

Since that day,it's been the barber £25 for both of them but at least I know the aftermath is a nice haircut not ayamatanga.

DIY is not for him.

Please know where your own husband falls in to avoid stories that touch.

Hahaha this happened the very first time he tried to cut my sons hair... I think I cried small sef sad... But since then other attempts have been much better smiley... I think what is convincing me is that the barbers here do not take their time to cut the hair. 3 minutes tops they are done! They just bring it low, we even have to talk them before they try to carve and shade. No more pls. Even me sef I will watch YouTube video and learn it. Mtschew.
