DISCLAIMER: This is for educational purpose only tongue

If u have LG or Samsung TV u can download an app called smart iptv on it and then find vendors that will load the channels for you. It ranges from £25-£60/year depending on the quality of channels and how well u can search for bargains angry

Interesting thing about most vendors is they give btw 12-24hrs free trial (but NOT on match days). Vendors are all over Facebook market place, eBay and even ali shocked. Most vendors have telegram groups to communicate streaming channels, updates and to report issues. Each vendor have their own area of interest, some it’s movies, for some it’s live sports, while some do everything. My vendor does everything Infact they just added African magic Yoruba wink and almost all DSTV channels especially the sport ones.

Another option is the Amazon firestick, you can buy it from Argos or Amazon and watch a YouTube video to jailbreak it (very simple and straight forward) this will enable you download streaming apps on it. Then find a vendor to load channels. You might need VPN to improve streaming quality and to change location for obvious reasons cry

An advantage of the firestick is that u can detach from tv and take with u when u are going away from home . Otherwise the smart iptv app too is fine.

Bro, u knw this too? I never miss any match even if it’s not available for broadcast in the UK especially those 3pm kick off. The interesting part is, the firestick goes with me when I’m going away

Use this site to check and compare broadbands in ur area https://www.uswitch.com/broadband/ the strength of the broadband in your area will help make informed decision

If you are good with paper work and administrative duties then you can open ur own limited company to gather paper works for tax purpose. While umbrella company will take care of those.

Also, if you open your own company, it can be used for other contracts or side gigs.

fatima04:
Good day gbogbo ile oo, please i need advise on alternatives for TV bundle from the usual Sky, BT etc. The renewal price I am seeing is quite high for an existing customer.

Also, is it advisable to use umbrella company or open your own Ltd company if working on a Locum basis?

Did you discuss and agree on relocation allowance at interview stage?
CheesyTee:
Yeah. I understand.

This would have been helpful to be reimbursed. Flight and accommodation especially. Considering I’m taking the kids.

I’ve spent about £2000 already.

It could be a random security check where ur account will be on hold and they ask for further information to clarify where the money is from and for what purpose. It could also be that it has been picked up as fraudulent transaction. Any which way you need to get in touch with them to challenge them
azingo:
Please as this happen to anyone before, and what is the solution.. i purchase 500 pounds twice from someone making £1,000 and i paid the naira equivalent into the person account, the pounds was Transferred to my revolut account which I have been using for transactions for some time.

To my surprise my revolut account was blocked from doing transactions, although I have about £200 left in the account

You can get a job as a locum staff and do the portfolio on the side at ur free time. You will need an examiner to mark it for you or better still, apply for a trainee post

In addition to this, I got a reputable company that reached out to me running similar training in Histology https://pathologyspheres.com/index.php?/practical_histology_training_course/ be kind enough to mention me so they can give me referral bonus and also give you a discount too. Tanx and “Goblez”
omopapa:
As a biomedical Scientist in the U.K. u don’t necessarily need a cv, all u need is a good profile on trac.jobs which you will be using to make applications. However, if u really need one u can create based on the information on your trac.jobs profile. I can review ur profile for free and help arrange a convincing personal statement to land a job.

Also, I will recommend this training for you https://labmedexpert.com/training/individual-training although it is far from Sheffield but if u can sacrifice to do the training, u can get job almost immediately as a locum staff.

If you were registered with MLSCN in Nigeria, I suggest you start your HCPC registration now and when it’s done you can apply for jobs as HCPC registered Biomedical Scientist.

I think it’s better to enter uk first before correcting the error.
moche8805:
Hello House,

I picked my dependent Visa on Monday and realized there exists on the visa "No work, business or public funds". How best can i correct this error? Should i do it from here or correct from the UK. I plan on leaving in another one week.

Similarly, for a family of four, I and My Wife picked up our visas same day, we all did our biometrics same day as well, TLS Ikeja; Jan 20th, for a strange reasons our two son's hasn't moved beyond DMC since then. We sent a paid email, we were told decision has been made. Anyone with similar experience?

Thank you

I knw someone in a very similar situation and they asked the uni for another extension which was granted till the 20th of Feb. Deferring ur admission will make you lose all the costs u incurred towards securing this visa. You might be denied entry into the UK if u don’t get approval or extension from ur uni
Iyeura:
Good day everyone pls I need help!!!
My school resumed on the 10th of january, my school gave me a deadline to resume february 11th, my visa came out february 11th evening. The school is advising me to defer or ask for a refund. How do i transfer my vignettes and resume september. I don’t want to go through Visa process all over again and pay new fees

A number would normally be attached to the email for further enquiries. Call the recruitment team to ask for a virtual interview. It’s 2 sides of a coin (head or tail)
Ifesinachi22:
I got an invitation for an Interview yesterday but the address is a UK address. They didn't mention online interview there.

What do i do?

The interview is on 9th of March.

I can't possibly be in the UK on 9th to do the interview. I've not even been there before.

Because of the series of rejections i stopped applying since 2nd of February. I don't even check their emails again when i get email notifications from NHS. But i just opened one yesterday and it's an invitation for interview.

I've really suffered trying to apply. I almost developed Blood pressure, you know. I don't want this first interview to pass me by. I want to prepare the very best way i can.

The main question is how i can get them to switch from physical interviews to online interviews.

Thanks in anticipation

Guys, this visa category is very serious. One care home was featured on tonight’s BBC news where the manager was complaining about how they are struggling with staff. To add salt to injury, some of their already existing staff left due to the covid vaccine controversies. I’m here to tell you things based on my observation:

1. You can actually get a sponsorship without
doing the NVQ training but it is added advantage and can make you stand out.

2. Be fully vaccinated with COVID vaccine especially, hepatitis B vaccination too if u can.

3. Package your CV and write a strong cover letter to support the CV. Give to someone with recruiting/care experience to peruse for you.

4. Research, watch YouTube videos on a day in the life of health care assistant to understand what it takes and decide if it is for you.

5. Familiarise yourself with the uk sponsorship list and go from company to company to check their vacancies and career page on their website.

6. Make minimum of 5-10 applications daily and be ready to accept rejection mails as motivation to keep applying.

7. Invitation for interview is a step closer to landing that job and migrating to the UK. This is where step 4 will become even more relevant.

8. Goodluck and keep the faith up

Y’all stay jiggy grin
