Good day all,
Please guidance to opening an account (Monzo or Starling bank) in the UK for student and dependant is needed. What documents are required to complete the process? I do not have proof of residence (arrived less than a week), as I am living with a relative.
Thanks.

Hi, here my is story, when I came in last year, I started applying for as many as data analyst role to to my skills set, not any work experience. I stopped applying when my wife failed one of her courses which makes me look in the way of searching for care jobs that could sponsor visa because it was stated that she might not be eligible cos of the failure, but luckily for us she was given the opportunity to resit for assessment due to child birth that made her failed the course at first attempt.

I enrolled into masterschool and I can tell i am now having lots of confidence compared to when I first came in. They are offering lots of support and most of our tutors in masterschool class session are people working in top IT companies.

I am just less than 2 months in to the program and I am always very hopeful that I will be able to secure job before or after the end of the course.

I actually conducted my research about masterschool by checking in some of their alumni and I was made known by someone that it really worth it.

After all, it is until you secure a job or 25k and above that they can start taking their payment and also, it is 10% of your monthly payment which makes it flexible enough till you complete the full payment of 11k£

NB: You ain’t paying any dime yet even if the your pay is less than 25k£ annually.

I was also made know that the master school interview simulation process is more rigorous that then actual real life interviews which will make it to scale through interview stages.

It’s has really been helpful.

Projects upon projects with guidance from lots of top guys in data analytics, data engineering, data science.

You will be supported till you land your first job even after the completion of the program.

Masterschool is a big company with worth of over a hundred million dollars.

Also speak to your lecturers at your Uni, they might have something for you. Not sure what your current CV looks like but if your current role says something like this - "Lagos, Nigeria" then please take it out. GoodLuck

Why not just volunteer? I honestly do not think you should pay these guys your hard earned money for that UK experience when you can get the same "UK experience" by volunteering and the recruiters won't even know it's a voluntary role. I only spent 10 hours a week working on their projects and it didn't affect my studies nor my regular job and it was fully remote. Anyway, that's what I did and it helped me.

dustydee:
I recently saw High Impact academy. I have not tried them but you can have a look. There's also CYI consulting and other bootcamps based in Nigeria. I doubt any of them will give you all that you have rquested but should be a good starting point. I went through CYI and got decent training but struggled with the job search aspect as I did not have a "real life" project I could speak to convincingly during my interview.
In the end, you have a very big part to play and the key is being able to speak the language and ability to relate the skills to your experience.

Good day seniors in the house. I just got my student visa and I would study in Dundee Scotland. I need y’all advise on how to get a job (anything that can put some money in my pocket for the now) haven’t worked 9-5 for many years now. I would actually want a driving job because driving is one of my hobbies. I know it wouldn’t be easy and I’m prepared for the worst. Any hint or advise please. God bless y’all.

[quote author=Amarathripple0 post=118166630]But they still have to reach out to the school as opposed to just waiting because some of these universities are not proactive and are unceremoniously slow; case in point my uni. So OP should still reach out regardless. I understand the need to add extra time on the Visa, however, having a PSW visa increases your chances of getting a better job which you can then use to transition to a Tier 2 visa even faster. Waiting until March for the visa is counter productive in my opinion as you might lose out on good employment because of this. However, to each their own.

Hello Everyone, has any one ever picked their child’s brp for them without them being physically in Uk? I’ll appreciate a response. Thanks

Dear Elders here,

Please I need your advice.

I recently came into the UK on postgraduate student visa. Last week I updated my LinkedIn profile to show my current location in the UK. I have received about 5 job opportunities from recruiters on LinkedIn. Same last week I told two of the recruiters that I'm a postgraduate student on tier 4 visa and I'm only permitted to work 20 hours per week on term time. But they said they needed someone who will do full-time. One even told me I should respond if I'm willing to do full-time but I'm yet to respond. I don't want to default on the visa terms.


Please I need your advice and input.

Good Morning Everyone.

I had like to know what are the likely questions a Tier 2 dependant will be ask at the Point of Entry into the UK?

Any necessary document to hold along?

Thank you

koonbey:
I can't over any insight on the subject, sorry, but I'd recommend you check the parenting in UK thread. I'd imagine there are more people who can give informed and practical advice there.

Really? that's bad.
I know two individuals that are also new, they got cheap insurance. They always recommend Marshmallow and all that, but I believe there is something more they do that they would not tell anyone because I have done everything they said but it's not working.
