Everybody passed through that phase ,infact it took me 2 months of getting to UK before i can get something reasonable to do and from that time till now ,it has been a roller coaster situation for all my job applications .
You need to know that phase will soon pass and what need mostly now is getting information from your fellow naija and those information are golden and they transcend all this online jobs portal like indeed etc . This is the time to put more effort into socialising and engage more with fellow naija around you maybe tru place of worship etc they will give you sure u lead ,leave indeed alone for now , and ride on the tips and clues that u will give u for jobs .

Thank you boss. I appreciate thus a lot

It's the season of love and Christ celebrations. Relax, calm down, God is your strength.
Since you stay around Manchester, the city is the industrial capital of UK, try warehouse jobs and you will get it easily. Unless you don't want warehouse. And keep trying other sectors

Thanks boss, we keeping applying till I get the mail that will turn through story around

Overthinker:
I am a silent reader most of the time, but I had to comment on this and encourage you, you have to start applying for jobs like cleaning and warehouse first. I was in your shoes months ago, unfortunately was my daily email and I almost gave up completely but good things comes to those who wait believe me. What I will advise is you build a good cv for the main job you intend to do while working the warehouse job and optimize your LinkedIn, see I never believe social media was important to job hunt until I experienced it, make your main CV align with your social media and be intentional about what you need to do, everyone's outcome is different and believe me aim higher don't listen to people when they say "in this UK, na only warehouse and care you fit do" these are great jobs but if your plan is different follow it as this country gives you opportunity only if you are ready to go for it, I did warehouse passionately and believe me most of the people I am close to are in care/support so for no reason don't think I look down on these jobs but I'll tell you that you are in a country you don't need to know somebody to be whatever you want to be. So I am encouraging you this morning and I am using myself as an example and telling you things change quickly from bad to good here but you only need to be resilient and keep going no matter what, your good news is just around the corner.





Thanks boss. I appreciate. Been applying mostly for the warehouse and cleaning job since I came in.

1. Taylor your CV to match the job application. It might be stressful though.
2. Search for "Reed in Partnership" and register on the website. Most importantly, try to locate their nearest office. Thank me later
3. Socialise. Tiktok, Church groups helps.
I wish you the best



Thanks boss.

Thanks Boss. I appreciate your input



Applying for almost 20 jobs in a day is not enough. Align your CV as others had said and make sure you have a cover letter for every application. Search CV-warejouse, total jobs, reeds, etc and ensure you apply for at least 50 in each day for a week. You need to read some job specification and tailor your cv to it. E get why oh. Na computer dey screen you out. So you too give computer what he want

Good day house, I just need encouragement from you all. I entered UK early this month and I've been job hunting, mehn it hasn't been easy at all. I apply not less that 20 jobs daily and I keep getting the unfortunately mail. I live around Manchester. Just want my senior men to encourage me cos sometimes when I see the mail, it kills my moral but regardless I'll keep applying, hoping this phase will pass soon.

The ban has nothing to do with any of the airlines; it's the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria that banned the use of that bag in any of the Nigerian airports.

Don't be too sure, I called a particular airline customer service this afternoon and they said that there airline is not affected. My personal findings though.

Without a visa on your passport, I don't think they'll let you check in or board unless you've got another foreign immigration status we don't know of.

If I were you, I would get in touch with UKVI to have my passport stamped with the visa.

https://www.gov.uk/contact-ukvi-inside-outside-uk/y/outside-the-uk/something-else/english

There's a visa but it's not stamped. It's looks like this I didn't see any stamp. Will it be stamped on my arrival, just curious.

Check the flight pattern to your destination
Where will it take you to before it gets to the UK
If Ethiopia is the only country then you're fine
If it's Ethiopia and another country in Europe before the UK then you would likely need transit visa for that country

Thanks for the enlightenment.

Depends
If your itinerary passes through a European country then you may need a transit visa

Send an email to secretariat@possap.gov.ng requesting for the biometric form.
State your name and date of application. Include your file reference number, invoice number and the email you used while applying. You can also attach your payment receipt to the email.

while filling your form you have written that you spent 12 months or more in a country… so therefore they have asked for a criminal record certificate from that country eg Nigeria

Thank you boss for swift response. I'm processing one from Nigeria Police Force which entails capturing and biometric. i hope it works.

That much is obvious. If the engine is 120k, he would have replaced it himself. That said, how is the car reliability wise?

I'm asking this considering the fact that you both have had faulty engines.

The car is very reliable and rugged. Have used mine for close to 7yrs.
Changed my engine cos it was abused by my younger brother when I was away. I no dey manage when it comes to automobile cos I travel alot.
