justwise:
Listen to your body and emotions as you hustle and stop when you can’t carry on. It’s hard to stop doing two jobs when you do it for too long but the effect on your health outweighs the gain.
Yes. It’s just that I saw the first job not demanding . 6 hours daily and 2 off days. E be like say na child’s play, until I added the second one.

I think I’ll just stay with my first one after the probation period. As it would come with more hours , obviously

Mehnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!

This uk sha. I have been running upandan since I got a second job, which is a permanent night shift.

Yesterday I called myself to order, but after I press calculator and see the “mansion wey I just enter, as e Dey give me joy”, I keep on going. 😁😁

To even think that the second job is just 3 times a week(I opted for that), sitting down almost 90% of the 8 hour shift, with no physically demanding or hard tasks.
Uk hard Abeg 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

E b like rat race 😁, but then e better pass balablue, because you Dey see the trophy

PS: my main(first) job is a 30/34 hours weekly, as I’m on probation. and I have 2 off days

Hi all, has any one done a Business Analysis or Project Management course with placement in the UK with any of these training centres? Kindly reply.
Thank you
Personally, I believe whatever path or career path you want to venture into, just get the skills and understand the job very well. If you have the skills and expertise , you will definitely get placements. Especially in saner climes

Not easy. You have to also learn how to use the gears and frictions shifters if it's a good mountain bike. When you master it, you can drop the gear and friction so low that you can cycle up a hill with little stress.

Your muscle, especially the calves, thighs and glutes, will also need to get used to the work.
I was just randomly rotating the gears. I think I’d have to to watch YouTube videos on how to properly do that.

Cycling is fun though

The way some people on this thread belittle others working in the healthcare profession is not just wrong but also condescending. To some, it is believed that healthcare assistant is all about packing sh!t. Thats myopic. Lol. The healthcare industry is very broad and has high earning potentials. As a mental health support worker, you can earn as much as £25 per hour with minimal experience on the job. More experienced workers earn up to £40 per hour and above by just sitting down all day or night taking records or making sure things are done properly in the facility. Complex care support for children with learning difficulties pays very high even more than many office workers. Its an industry that offers huge potentials and opportunity to grow with readily available hands on training provided by most employers.

Let's erode that mindset that all healthcare workers are at the bottom of the career food chain (salary wise) when in reality many earn far more than workers in other industry. A friend of mine who studied mechanical engineering both in his undergraduate and UK masters level made a lot of money in complex health care and has started his own care company. Today he is an employer of labor and a director after undergoing several training.

You don't need to make yourself feel highly by bringing others down. For healthcare assistants, while you are motivated to grow your career within or outside the care profession, do not let anyone make you look down on your hustle. You can make good money in this profession without doing personal care with the little experience you can gather. And if you choose to get other professional jobs in line with your academic qualifications, great! Care Experience can be useful for jobs roles in customer support, human relations, because you are able to manage emotions of people with varying degree of temperament and mental stability.

May God bless everyone with a legit hustle. Amen
Even if na shit person Dey pack, it’s his/her labor.

Congrats bro. Wash am for us . Btw what job did you get ?
Thank you.


D other question is too direct, and I’ll pass.

I came in, I cleaned up my Cv with resume-now dot come ,and applied to Jobs that match my history experience and desired pathway. I applied to over 30 per day. Indeed, company sites, Cv library, etc. anywhere wey work posting Dey. I also called companies and recruitment agencies.

I also walked round the city for Posters and job posts

I also had a cv (I put in informal experiences) to apply for care support roles, because I can do anything legal to pay my bills.

I was lucky to immediately get one that matches what I desired, which is the desired pathway.
