Thanks

If you eventually find out if this is possible please get back to me, I know its possible for UK visa and it is completely legal
HoneyWholesaler:
Is there any way to pay to be able to do interview within 2 to 3 months of booking for appointment?

To bypass germany's length of time it takes to be called for interview after booking

About my holiday job.

I was able to get a holiday job through a job agent to work at UPS logistics facility.

The working environment is just the same as described by Franknetter in his dairy.

I had to work for 8 good hours standing Monday to Friday. The section I was attached with is called the 'Outbound'. What we do basically is packaging of orders on the conveyor into cartons that fit them.
Trust me, it was hectic working in this section because my supervisor was a workaholic and he keeps saying "Schneller Schneller (faster faster), Zeit kostet geld (Time is money) ". Ah yes, do you remember my Deutsch is 'Sehr schlecht( very bad)?' Despite the fact that UPS is an American company, majority of the staff speak Deutsch and don't understand English.

I happened to be attached with a supervisor that does not understand English, so I had to improve my language skills. Many thanks to the few hours I sacrificed on DW.com, I was able to understand majority of what he was saying and right now, I can tell you that my vocabulary has improved a little, but my listening skills improved the most.
Luckily for me, there was a native English speaker in my section and he helped me with translations and even information I wasn't aware of because of the language.

Shey I said 80% of them don't understand English, and UPS being an American company, the computers were all programmed in English, that eased another part of the work for me because we had to print some stuffs from the data base. I later realized majority of them don't know what they are doing on the computer because they had just crammed what to do and don't know when there's an error in the system.

In short, I did this boring blood sucking job for couple of weeks. It was the same routine every Monday to Friday. Waking up at 5am to prepare breakfast and lunch, sometimes dinner ( there's no place to buy food around the facility, I miss Nigerian work environment for this. At least one canteen will have opened shop just because of us, or one old woman would have opened a bread and akara or beans center). Catching the bus by 7am and meeting the same set of people on the bus, heading to the store at the train station to buy Coca-Cola or yogurt, still getting to meet the same set of people in the store as well, getting to work, finishing work and getting home at 9pm.

It was so boring and it was as if I was leaving in a loop(those kind of things about studying a person routine and carrying out a robbery action or assassination is real because I lived it first hand. In fact at certain period of time, I know where we would meet red light and where we often meet green light).

Apart from being a boring job, by the time I get home, all joints would have gone separate ways. I also started having a rocky relationship with my supervisor due to many reasons.

I later resigned before the expiration of my contract because I needed to face my priority here and also get enough rest for the semester ahead.
Always good to hear from you bro.
Keep striving ,God go crown ur efforts.

Thank you for the drama that happened while I was away. It was fun reading it and really eased my stressful week grin grin

I think it's safe to say that making one Euro here in Germany no be beans at all, coming from Nigerian work experience.

No time for playing.


Remember I mentioned how a journey of an hour turned to 4 stressful hours last week? The fact that I needed to pick something at home and head out again?

Well I was going home to pick my safety boot for a night shift I had. Little did I know I have not expressed the greatest stress yet.

Getting home to pick the safety boot and heading out again, I had no time to rest.

In short, I started the night shift work in a biscuit factory from 10pm to 6am.

What I did basically was packing 5 biscuits into a big pack, then send it to a taping machine and it rolls off to logistics department.

All these were done while standing.

I had to be fast because the biscuits won't stop coming so speed was need.
I was battling with a lot of things, the stress I expressed during the day, back pain, leg pain, hand pain, the pain of not closing my eyes since 5am that I work up.

In my mind, I was just cursing the owner of the biscuit factory grin and the day I showed interest in the job.

Shebi I said time was fast in Germany, nah line oh. The time is freaking slow when you have to work while standing.

Immediately my supervisor announces 5 minutes Pause, I dash out of the freaking place. But at that moment, the time gets faster and I report back to work.

In short, I worked myself out on Saturday and had to sleep all through Sunday, starving at some point.


Morale of the story cheesy.
When you hear the pay, it makes sense in naira. But please don't be fooled, everything goes back to the system.

If you have the mentality of coming to Germany to hustle with student visa, these are the kind of unskilled blood sucking jobs you will get and trust me, you will surely grow old very fast. And the painful part, half of your money goes back to the government who in turn pay them to their senior citizens and those without jobs that end up using it to smoke cigarette and drink beer, and still hate you for being black.

Funniest part, one will think a lot of people working these jobs will be foreigners. Nah lie oh, most of them are citizens.
This I think is the main reason they need skilled works and thereby making their education free to bring in people to fill the space.

Person wey get head no get cap.

I b think sey na when person don dey earn above 500 na when dem dey tax am
