Annual isn’t more than. 22 to 30days, the best option is as Lexus baba said, virtually kill one relative. But you can also say you want to take a break as you are having psychological issues as your wife/partner just broke up with you so you need to heal for about 2 and 1/2 months .
Phayie:


You should be entitled to annual leave. Like someone has suggested, tell your manager you need to travel for an urgent issue, then ask if you could apply for your annual leave

Na so the matter for housing Dey tie warapper for Uk. Either you earn x 30 of the rent or you provide guarantors. I hope you are not asked to get guarantor that own a property? Anyways just keep praying and searching. God will provide a way
AKALAMAGBO:
Sometimes this UK will frustrate you….

Been trying to move house since, got the one I like and credit check and referencing was carried out, which came out good but the agent is still asking for a guarantor due to the fact that wifey hasn’t been self-employed for up to a year and husby salary ranges between £28,407 - £30,000 as a permanent employee….

Una go dey increase rent but refuse to increase salary and make renting difficult for residents…

Shown payslips and rental history with good credit worthiness BUT all these oversabi House agents still dey ask for 2 Guarantors… Who wan guarantee person wey dey no know…

Olagbara ooo…. Never had a good sleep since yesterday…

Yes Lloyd did back in February but didn’t last up to a month before they end it. For Lloyd all you had to do as an existing customer then was upgrade to some specific club Lloyd accounts e.g club Lloyd silver, pay in 1,250 then get your 200£ bonus, but it’s over now. Yes it did affect my credit scores lost about 40points altogether but I have almost recovered now

Hey ....so Lloyd dey do switching bonus...chai.

You should help by stating your field as this matters a lot. Health and IT specialist are hardly found complaining of sponsorship scarcity.
heroshark:


I really can't relate to the idea that firms are refusing to sponsor candidates. I came in last year September and by February this year I have received 3 offers from different firms with two offering to sponsor me. I don't know if I am just lucky or that other students/immigrants are failing to due their due diligence and instead chose care jobs as the easy way out.

During my interview, I do try to make it as clear as possible that I'm unable to join them without visa sponsorship.

Good morning Elders!!! Can anyone guide me to the steps in applying for work visa? I have visited gov.uk but I just wanted a practical view from someone who has gone through it preferably recently. What are things I need to demand from my workplace to ease the application? Am trying to get it done before month end. Thanks and God bless

Is an Technical Support Engineer classified under shortage list? As am unable to find the exact wording for that in the list I got on gov.uk.

It’s bound to be positive since you definitely have done well with the interviewer so Hr is in charge of recruitment based on the interviewer who probably might be your manager.

Yes but you can also look out for other accounts that are doing switching bonus. I am not so sure if First Direct still has their switch bonus on. Check on a Google

Hi Elders and Everyone,

Trust this meets everyone well. I know my request is not permitted but I had to cos I've exhausted all options. I just resumed a job but I do not have enough for my fare. The little cash we had was expended on the payment for the new accommodation we just got. I need a loan of 200£ and I promised to refund it once I get my salary. I am ready to provide evidence for all my claim(new rent & job) and any other thing the lender needs to ascertain that I am not a scam. I really had no choice that is why I am here and no bank will lend an immigrant has not spent 4 months. Please I really do not want to lose this job as the pay worths it.

I don fail theory test twice and it’s always the mcq both times I scored 40 and 42 but I always smash the hazard perception 60 and 64 respectively. Don’t click too much and also make to click on time.
lightnlife:
What A Day!

Took my theory test today.

Guess what! I failed...😃

And no, it wasn't the multiple choice questions (45/50), it was the hazard perception (37/70).

At clip 6, it flagged my clicking pattern. Marks were lost for that. Took caution and simply clicked on the real danger...the result na 37 ooo. My lesson: the exam click pattern is totally different from the 4-in-1 pattern.

I'm really pained😭 cos I messed up, having to queue again for their endless test dates.

Can't remember the last time I failed an exam/test.🤪

No wahala! We go again, this time with a bang!
