This is my thoughts too but... We moooove cheesy


mimilyrics:
Telling an employer about your leave is the right thing to do especially if you have made firm plans that can't be changed before you made it to the interview stage. If the job isn't given, then they wouldn't have given it even if you didn't have holiday plans anyway.
TravelRe: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by bigtt76(f): 1:43pm On Dec 02, 2022
Part-time job though but I get you clear and now understand why they took the decision but they were harsh in not telling the truth about why they took the decision cheesy

ugoonuoha:
what is the goal in your application? To get fulltime employment right? Then it's better to align your answers to what the decision maker would want. Put yourself in their shoes, would you employ someone now for a Jan 2023 start date that intends to go for extended Christmas holiday or is in full time studies and it will clash with work duties. Even if you have plans or need some days off, when you resume you go navigate am. I know a friend, that took job in a city 100miles away and employer thought it was same city because it was hybrid role so the guy was commuting and Airbnb'ing. If the person told them he was in a different city na rejection letter for end am. Wisdom is profitable to direct

PoliticsRe: Solomon Dalung: Aisha Buhari Now Wears Dress Meant For 3 People by bigtt76(f): 12:38pm On Dec 02, 2022
This is so uncool.

The night I saw late Gen Abacha on TV seeing off Arafat, I knew he wasn't fat because of looting the country, it was unreal and guess what he died barely weeks afterwards of suspect liver cirrhosis.

My point here is the first lady may be suffering from an ailment or hormonal conditions we may not be aware of but ascribing her looks to feeding fat may not be the cause and she might not be comfortable with same. Making fun of her condition is not cool either.

SportsRe: Suarez "Refuses To Apologize" For Handball As Uruguay Face Ghana by bigtt76(f): 9:41am On Dec 02, 2022
We are too sentimental, why should he apologize when he was penalized for the offense and the Ghana team awarded a 50-50 chance to redeem the goal. We should rather be angry at Fifa for such law as this.

A goal bound ball disrupted by a field player using his hands should either be declared a goal or a penalty kick awarded without a goalkeeper in goal. The affected team shouldn't have to suffer the agony of trying to score when they had a goal stopped illegally angry

It has never occurred to me before, leave it out totally, and this is not because you are hiding anything, it just isn't part of what should be on a CV.
Just like putting age, address, nationality, marital status etc..these things can cause an un/intentional bias which can be negative or positive. (you can also play it to favour you like
putting your UK location)

First step towards that is to prepare their CVs and apply online to jobs specifically with the intent to get sponsorship another option is to start training as care worker through online courses etc and thereafter apply to those jobs. If they Google search Care jobs in the UK, they will see many.

Ok pls any input concerning my second question
TravelRe: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by bigtt76(f): 1:50pm On Nov 26, 2022
I was just mooting the idea but I think one can subtly mention it (resident in the UK ....but not including the sharecode )in the objective section of CV or what you think?

mizGene:
I never knew people put info about visa in their CV, I would say don't do it..

Interests on savings is growing daily in Nigeria now, you might look at Money Market Funds - the type that preserves your value oo cheesy, get some interest, build up capital and do real investments that would amount to something in the future and not one that boys would use set their own business on top your head. My thoughts though.


eniola1010:
Please guys

(1) what sort of invesment can someone with spare 500pounds per month do. That will not require much physical presense. I tried having a car and leasing for uber but the stress plenty.

I am looking at all these bonds, stocks and the rest.

(2) i have two friends in nigeria who really want to come to uk but dont have much money as such they cannot do the student route which i did.
How best can someone in nigeria get sponsorship even if it is to come and do care or factory work or any work at that.

Are there website i can check for this or who has idea to shed more light for me. I really want to help them
TravelRe: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by bigtt76(f): 1:42pm On Nov 26, 2022
Thank you so much for this ....but on most online forms, its usually required you state your visa type and once you select tier 4, its the end of the process cheesy Omo I taya cheesy

Amarathripple0:
Cool, my go to response is "I have a residents permit that allows me to work". Because a Tier 4 BRP is actually a residents permit.
TravelRe: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by bigtt76(f): 10:51am On Nov 26, 2022
Makes sense. From now I will just mention *Right to work with my share code* finish. cheesy


Amarathripple0:
Yup, don’t ask, don’t tell. if they ask, say you have a visa that allows you to work, if they ask what type of visa, just say Tier 4. All the extra shalaye of student visa and needing sponsorship isn’t necessary.
TravelRe: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by bigtt76(f): 10:50am On Nov 26, 2022
Just state Tier 4 visa or simply specify - Right to Work in the UK (Sharecode - Bleep-Bleep-XX) many won't bother to probe further seeing this as they don't know much about it compared to when they see Student Visa in your CV ...awon werey. They'd be complaining no skills or talent to employ but we de here de beg them for jobs dem never de mind us angry

hustla:
I'm still wondering how you hope to secure and start the job with a student visa
TravelRe: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by bigtt76(f): 11:38pm On Nov 25, 2022
Are you suggesting not to mention your visa type unless they asked? shocked


Amarathripple0:
Most companies would rather go for someone without that extra sponsorship baggage. Trust me, if you’ve gone through all the stages and they actually like you, then you can negotiate that as a part of the deal because some of these companies would rather not go through the whole hiring process again especially if they actually offer sponsorship and they really need someone to fill out that role OR show the value you bring and post probation, request for sponsorship. Some get lucky with a few companies who are open about offering sponsorship right away. But a lot of companies do not outrightly offer, so you’ll end up losing a lot of good opportunities if you are too eager to mention that you are on a student visa or that you need sponsorship.

mizGene:
I'm liking this. This is a strategy I recently decided to adopt - I mean the job changing.
I am naturally very "loyal" and also not necessarily motivated by money, I have taken pay cuts to be in a role that I prefered... If I enjoy my work and I like the culture and I'm respected, then I can stay put for a long while in one company.

Recently I got a new manager at work and the dude who at the point knew little about the work/product started questioning my work and made some very unjustified disparaging remarks...I was quite shocked. I always put in my best and never in my whole life has my output been unsatisfactory. I just imagined that this human can wake up and give me a bad performance review and I'll be asked to leave., this is how they will stain my white .. undecided

That weekend, I edited my CV (and kept updating/tweaking it almost weekly ) and started some courses I had been procrastinating. Within a month I had a number of interviews scheduled and accepted an offer (Lesson here for me is that once you have that UK experience you lacked initially, you will become more appealing in the market, so for those saying sponsorship limits you to one employer...I say only if you let it)

Also I quietly quit - I never take my laptop home again....I used to come in up to 30mins before official time and stay late to finish up sometimes....now I walk in like other ppl by 9 or 9.15 sef and 4.50pm I pack my bag...no time tongue
I have never called in sick...I plan to be sick next week or upper, afterall everyone is coughing amd sneezing lipsrsealed

I realised that I achieved a lot in 6 weeks because I was angry, now I want that to be my default status - always "angry" and looking for the next best thing and putting needs first.

If I may ask, why did you move to a lower band?
