May life not dealt anyone of us a hard blow. Even if it does, remain resolute, aim for the very best.

In aiming for the stars, one might land on the moon or even the cloud. Yet, some might not scale up pronto. Nonetheless, each one must keep preparing with tenacity and aiming high with precision, giving it their ALL.
May we all reach the pinacle of our endeavours. Yet, the summit of Koma hill differs from Idanre rolling hills or Olumo rocks. Ditto, the peak of Kilimanjaro ain't summit of Everest. Each, present a breathtaking view!!! and 'satisfaction' in its own way.
Start high, keep moving high.
Start low, keep pushing high.

That's what you think. You are only looking at its disadvantages. The introduction of it can also limit the want for dollars. It's not all about inflation. Inflation is only when there is an over-circulation...not when there's a new money print.

And whoever told you politicians cannot loot more in dollars tho with or without it. You guys are always using traditional statistics to defend reality.

Printing new notes don't really affect the economy. It's corrupt leaders who do.

Pls just keep quiet

You have been chatting nonsense and obviously you don't know how the economy works

Go back to ss1 and study economics all over again

Fasasiidris:
Please. Ejo
I’m looking for work I can do since our sponsor doesn’t have enough jobs or agent connect of work I can do without NI.

Thanks

How long have you worked for?

eniola1010:
Thanks so much my friend for ur input
I have some more questions, and perhaps the house too can learn

(1) I see so much people on this thread who keep looking for firms to offer sponsorship i also see lot of people whom complain after that they had to drop an offer because during interview stage they found out such job does not do sponsorship.

(3) if i am main applicant. But my wife got a 3 year COS.
Can i travel out of uk lets say for a year. And come back?

1. Well, people might want to get UK experience first before applying for the ones with sponsorship. The UK experience helps + sitting around and waiting for sponsorship alone means you get to miss out on other quality experience which will later help you
Appying to only coys offering sponsorship can be your strategy though, what works for A might not work for B


2. Yes, my house mate earns 67 also. I think I have seen £80, varies across coys. I earn £30 / sleepin and its cheating tbh. You can always know what youll earn during the interview if you ask

3. I believe you can if you have completed all neccessary docs when you enter etc.

eniola1010:
Boss answer me na pls

Err you didnt ask me any question boss

It’s called socialising, nobody forced anyone to drink. You just use sense to follow these people so you wouldn’t be tagged as antisocial. I could be nursing the same glass of wine for the evening or even have sparkling water and lime which will look like a gin and tonic.

Oya talk another nonsense

It can be tough to balance for policy makers.
On one hand, you have the voting British populace which has remained largely anti-imigration without considering the positive effect these working age folks bring to the society . Also there is the need to keep salaries competitive and attractive for local folk so that companies dont have the free hand to import foreign workers thereby increasing supply of labour which will result in pay suppression.

On the other hand, you have critical sectors who are lacking staff e.g farms, HGV drivers e.tc. This inhibits growth. Also, without immigration (i.e good supply of labour), the government would need to pay much more for health and social care (if standards were maintained) which results in increased taxes e.t.c. The UK is largely a service based economy and doesn't have the huge export to rely on.

.

Then they should decide if they want people or not and how they want to do it and be decisive

All this hot today, cold tomorrow makes it seem as if they aren't competent or don't know how to go about it (maybe they actually don't)

Milton Keynes?? That’s shocking, that’s a really decent area and actually a really small city. Honestly, with kids, I hardly blame the parents, especially as I was once a teen myself and I know all the shenanigans I did without the knowledge of my folks. Parents can only do their best especially as kids spend a large part of their day time with friends whilst their parents are at work. You can’t lock the child in the house, you can only instil certain values in them and hope that it sticks.

Yes, MK. Seems knife violence is on the rise there according to things I've seen online

Well, true as to parents doing their own but it seems London area is a bit worse.

I see a lot of black kids reeking of weed looking like they don't have parents.. On trains and in buses.

Shame dey catch me sometimes cos I look around and see opportunities but they just don't seem to see it (or maybe it's the kids I see Sha)

jedisco:
Reasonable take. Definitely against the fixed term stuff.

The care visa route post- brexit was intentional. Most care homes were staffed by Eastern Europeans. This workforce quickly dried up. More worrying was that the pay for care jobs was similar to working in the likes of Tesco e.t.c.
Without migration, most care home would have either collapsed or be forced to more than double their pay- something the government is unwilling to fund

They need to decide what they want and stop blowing hot and cold

Something long term and not all this ones they're doing. I know lots of people who are already looking at other countries as they can't stand looking for sponsor up and down and stuff

How can you be shouting that you're understaffed and still require people to 'need sponsorship". Even for the care homes and nurses, it's absurd because what then happens to companies that "don't have enough" to sponsor? Continue to be understaffed?

Its their country Sha, they'll do as it suits them

Out of curiosity, is it that parents in London and Manchester barely have time to look after their kids or what?

Seen too many stories of Nigerian kids in gangs getting sentenced to life. Another one (Oluwatomiwa ‘Tomi’ Olatuyi) was sentenced yesterday in Milton Keynes to life in prison with minimum of 25 years

Doesn't look like it's the same in smaller cities

lightnlife:
You can try, but companies won't most likely sponsor anyone on student visa.


The system is structured to ensure that students having their finances covered for them to focus on their studies why allowing 20 hours per week to experience the labour market and make some money.

Canada and Australia have shown us that its a mumu rule

lightnlife:
Getting a sponsorship job on a Tier 4 and transitioning to Tier 2 isn't exactly the discourse. The possibility is common knowledge.

Was asking hustla to confirm if his classmate's still maintained the Tier 4 or switched to Tier 2 upon the 20hrs job. It's a build up on previous conversation.

EDIT: I see you responded to my initial post which I modified just befor you responded. Guess I wasn't too clear in the initial post. Apparently, we're on the same page.

Im not sure

Would have asked but she has left for internship but the job was with NHS. Not sure how she went about it but she did tell me she was on 20 hrs / week and i didnt want to be a busybody

“First is immigration. Let’s be honest with people. Our labour shortages are vast. First, we have lost hundreds of thousands of people to economic inactivity post Covid. And anyone who thinks they’ll all be back any day now – with the NHS under the pressure it is – is kidding themselves. Secondly, we don’t have enough Brits to go round for the vacancies that exist, and there’s a skills mismatch in any case. And third, believing automation can step in to do the job in most cases is unrealistic.

“So, let’s be practical. Let’s have economic migration in areas where we aren’t going to get the people and skills at home anytime soon. In return, let’s make those visas fixed term. At the same time, let’s double down on incentives for technology and automation. And let’s agree a skills policy that works to fill these roles from the UK in the medium term. A shortage occupation list that not only goes to the Minister for Immigration. It also goes to the Secretary of State for Education. And a business sector who take on the mantel alongside them in our training budgets.

bigtt76:
Sure but those guys ...dem de madt cos I don't understand their wahala ooo! 1 million jobs yet una de make things strict, how una wan take make progress for economy. I'm sure if they create visa categories for Nigerians alone to help on their farmland, they won't have issues with scarcity of eggs ....eggs oooo now being rationed

They want your money, but they don't really want you

babajeje123:
It's possible. I think I'm working with a student visa in a Uni where I'm not even studying.

OK boss

lightnlife:
First, you can't work full time on a student visa even if the company wants to sponsor.

You'd have to switch to a PSW visa after your studies to work full time. It allows you to get a job - sponsored or not.

Once you have a job on the PSW visa, you can then discuss sponsorship with your employer who by then would recognise your value to their coy.

This means that I have to find a company that'll possibly agree to 20 hrs /week

NHS agreed to it for a girl in my class (IT Audit) and that's the only case I've seen so far (for the sponsorship ones)

Amarathripple0:
I think you are viewing a student visa as a major blocker when in fact some companies like Barclays, JP Morgan & Chase, IBM, PwC etc offer flexible working and job sharing options. You could even secure a job as a student and work with the company on a part time basis then transition to full time after Uni like the girl in the video below did. Lastly, and the most obvious; you can get a full time job when you are actually done with Uni. As for securing the job, just sell the heck out of yourself, be confident, don't come off as desperate and do some research about the company, let your STAR stories align with what they do and their values.

Thanks, I appreciate

I'll go through this video

bigtt76:
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

You dey vex oo. Can't blame them Sha

lightnlife:
Are you in or out of the UK?

If you're in already, You might want to tone down on the request for sponsorship at the interview stage.

Secure the job first, deliver value and negotiate to your advantage.

Some jobs are quite clear on giving sponsorship, for those you can raise it with them at the interview stage. For those that do not state so, you can let it slide at the interview stage.

I'm still wondering how you hope to secure and start the job with a student visa

Amarathripple0:
Most companies would rather go for someone without that extra sponsorship baggage. .

True

mizGene:
Nope.

You should make them want you enough to then agree to sponsor. And you can only get that opportunity during interview.

Nawa. Plenty wahala for this Waka

Amarathripple0:
Stop mentioning sponsorship oh. You are disqualifying yourself by yourself.

How? Someone on student visa has few few options though

I doubt it would make sense to finish the interview process and then get rejected at the end when it comes up

Gemma11:
Comparing it to what she is getting in Nigeria. The brother said she is on 120k a month so assuming she manages to save half of that in Nigeria..she can save more than double that in the UK after all bills and expenses on £29k

True

Gemma11:
£29k is good for Leeds. That is around £1700 (N990k or even higher depending on the exhange rate) per month. She should be able to save at least £500 a month after rent, bills and other expenses.

LOL can't be converting GBP to Naira when she won't spend in naira

She'll be fine in Leeds though
