If you are not selective with jobs. You can also try downloading indeed flex app for Sainsbury's Replenishment Assistant jobs around you. Am a Dr with long years of professional experience as a chemical Scientist/ Process Chemist in Germany. I didnt have a stable job until after 3 months. There is dignity in labour in the uk. It took me about 3 months to get a stable, permanent and professional job in the UK. U will be fine, I understand the frustration, the pressure from people even at home and how stressful it is. Keep pushing.

When you apply always include the length of your visa. Employers doesn't want to hire someone with short visa or someone that need visa sponsorship.

Please note, am using Global Talent work visa, and I don't and will never need visa sponsorship (including my dependent in the UK) however my wife came to the UK before me (on study visa). Am also feeling the heat cos she wasn't allow to switch to my dependent visa except we finish paying all school fees and after she completed her studies. That's why am
also affected. The best is yours

OK thanks.

I have been applying for dormicilliary care with no experience. Care support with no experience etc

This is my first ever post on nairaland and I will like to be honest with colleagues on this page,

In as much that I can't discourage people from legal migration to the UK, because we are in a free world. But, I can give some free advice based on my personal experience in the UK.

However, if you are coming on a study visa route. Note the following

1) Remember you are alone without dependant.

2) I beg you to ensure you carry 70%-80% of the balance of your school fees with you.

3) Lower your expectations

4) If you get job (20 hour per week) is nothing, remember you are alone. No combine income for you. If you do more hours, the payment/number of hours is linked to your NI and they will know.

5) Technically you can get your school fees back while on study visa no more. (As at last year, it is possible cos dependant will push more hours for combine income). But not anymore.

6) It is a serious immigration offence when you applied for next visa (PSW or tier 2). Someone just got his psw visa denied cos of 4 extra hours.

7) You can't change visa status until you finish your program.

Please note as at today the current exchange rate of Lemfi app is 1670 Naira/ £.

9) Make sure you are loaded with Naira for pounds exchange.

Am not saying coming to UK is bad, am saying be prepared, and it is a long term investment.

My take.
