This your questions dey like bomb
The effects of COVID-19 on the engineering job market is relative. While some sectors were shut down during the peak of the pandemic, others were on full steam. But the demand has always been there for engineers throughout the pandemic.
Let me use ill working throughout the peak of COVID-19. And the company I work with has recruited over 3500 engineers nationwide so far since the pandemic. I also have a friend who is a wind turbine engineer and was working through the pandemic. In summary, engineers are as essential as doctors and are always in demand

@justwise
Hello,
I am new to this forum. Please i did my biometrics on Friday,on my undergraduate certificate and waec,one of my names was omitted, however on my transcript,it was included and my passport has all three names , I did an affidavit ,but, the school rep(agent) that assisted me forgot to upload my affidavit for reconciliation of name. Should I be worried?

Bronzedigger:

Thank you so so much I am really happy I'm getting somewhere... I also had a 2.1 in my under graduate... but please can I ask more questions:
1. how was it like coping with your first ENGINEERING job while doing your msc,
2. was it like your were doing any part time job at that time before the ENGINEERING job,
3. is it possible to do an ENGINEERING job part time?
4. I'm in my early 30s hope that won'tbe an issue when applying for graduate jobs?


I'm not coming in this September but next year January


can I get the link to the materials of competency questions

What dupyshoo was saying is that she got her job before she finished her masters and she was giving you the tip on how to go about it. She didn't have to start the job until after the completion of her masters. That's the way it works most of the time. Before the introduction of PSW, most students complain they only have 4 months after their studies to look for sponsorship and it's inadequate, that is wrong. The UK gives you about 16 months to look for job. Your graduate job search starts in September when you resume and hopefully by January of February after your first semester exams, you would have gotten a job offer to start in September of that year. That leaves you to then concentrate on your studies (2nd semester and project). Most big companies advertise their graduate positions for the following year September start between September and December the year before. If you leave it late, the chances are that most of the positions will be filled already and the remaining ones may be companies that are reluctant to sponsor. I also got my Engineering role before I finished my masters and I know several others in my school too who got jobs aafter our first semester. Just make sure you utilise your schools' career services and open your eyes.

You don't need any SOP for most UK universities. The UK does not conduct visa interviews. Anybody that is interested can study IT related courses. If you need to, state why you chose the course.
IT is much more than coding. There are IT fields you can get into with 3months of training/study. If you insist on a masters, subjects like cyber security and Data science could give you a very good chance of getting a job.

Bronzedigger:
Good day house and all the gurus.. please I need enlightenment on this issue... I am currently in Nigeria and hoping to relocate to the UK God's willing next year.. I came across a youtube channel on study and work abroad wherein I contacted the owner and the he told me its possible to take masters in SOCIAL WORK as it has lots of opportunities or the PRE REGISTRATION MASTERS in Nursing programme with specialtyin mental health and after which I can get a job very easily even when my first degree is not in nursing... I currently have a BSC in mechanical engineering... how feasible is this considering I will be switching field and I starting a new career in a country I've never had any form of experience...... what are the factors to consider, school to apply,cost of programme and building professional work experience if I intend to go through this path.. I need advice as well as suggestions... GURUS IN D HOUSE, DOCTORS, NURSES.. your inestimable response is highly very needed...
Thanks in anticipation

Marriage is no longer a sacred institution; we all know that by now... It is a risky venture and breaking up and moving on is not the end of the world. I dont even blame the woman because no one should stay in an unhappy marriage - it builds too much resentment that makes things more difficult in future.

Firstly, this gentleman arrived in the country not so long ago and he arrived during the pandemic. How easy would it have been for him to make friends and how do adults go about making friends in an environment full of vultures? You might say Church (the usual answer) - not everyone is into that sort of thing.

Secondly, this is an an anonymous forum... Yes, the comments vary and most will not be appropriate and some disrespectful to the OP or that so-called sacred institution, however, there are also some golden nuggets for the person that has what it takes to filter out the useless comments. There is also a lot for some others to learn from.

I think in this case, the OP wanted advice about his other choices if his spouse refused to help him renew his VISA. The real marital issues were raised based on the many comments coming from contributors - i felt he was reluctant to go into details - in fact, he said so in his original post - he has not been disrespectful to his wife or institution of marriage.

This forum is actually the best place for him because his issues are unique. He is no longer in Nigeria with all the support systems; a lot of people on the forum will have better experience of the issues than his family members in or sheltered friends (if any) in the UK. From the response he got here, you can easily see why talking to friends and family can be a waste of time...

So it appears the wife got a job in the UK (health sector, maybe) and he has come along. Who knows, he might have had a higher status or better job than his wife in Nigeria but roles have reversed to some extent and she is the one with the papers and he is a dependant; and there are children involved (the kids must have been born in Nigeria... He has said, he has not cheated and he is now even maintaining channels of communication with his missus and that the main issues have origins to whatever might have happened in Nigeria and now carried over.

I personally think the OP has done well to come here because he is more or less alone in the country and his own future is at stake - the marriage and family is one thing but he cannot do much without being solid himself. Good luck to him.

* My sibling was also kicked out and I did not get involved because I did not marry his wife and whatever has gone on, is between the two of them. I have not openly blamed his wife but clearly not the type I will hook up with and those omo-eko behaviour does nothing for me. He saw and married her ( I was already abroad) and even brought her abroad. In my view, he has married someone who is not like us as a family - someone a bit more street-wise than himself...

She too was hiding things (OP talked about not being on the bills and some said it does not matter... Maybe not, but he also intimated that she is hiding other things - perhaps not just the kids savings (I dont think that is a big deal in itself). Anyway, long story short, they are separated and nothing changed even with Pastors and family members involved, family friends, elders who is abroad and Nja. * She chose to be a single parent because of financial independence knowing that she will continue to receive money from the husband and she can be in full control of the children; letting him see them from time to time... And also playing silly happy families when they have events - taking pictures and posting on facebook and hanging on to the man, so that he does not move on...

justwise:


1.What is her age range?
2. Has she travelled before?
3. Though the business is not registered but does she have savings ?

Fiestafetta:


Please check very well, I didn't see your reply.... Please kindly resend your questions so I can answer you. Thanks for your time

fatima04:


In addition to the above, you can use the next 6months to ensure regular income is going into her account and also print that to show she can support herself as well incase anything happens she won't be stranded in the UK.

Generally, older people's application gets approved easily. All the best

Would have love to talk to your sis directly, I'm a Social worker also, just wanted to know how she registered her self and under which body?

Because Social Work is not a regulated Body in Nigeria!
Can you drop your what's no, quote me on a dead thread with it

dupyshoo:
1. I did not start the job until after my MSc. So the way it works is this: grad jobs will be advertised from September to Janauary but you won't have to start the job until the next September.
2. It was full time. Like I said above you will have the job offer but you will start after your MSc.
4. Age does not really matter. Even over 50s get jobs.

Coming in January means that it might take you longer to get a job as most grad jobs would have closed by then. There will be still some few ones still open though.

Regarding competency questions, you will need to take time to think about your past experiences where you have demonstrated different soft skills and then document them. That will help you whenever you are doing applications and telephone interviews.

OSCARTM:


I will suggest you explore a Masters in your field of engineering with a form of specialization, rather than switching your career totally. It is easier to build on your current knowledge than starting another career entirely, Engineering jobs are also in high demand in UK, though not as much as Nursing and other medical jobs.

Zimzee:
You seem quite knowledgeable about the career. Please is that your field? If yes, I would want to dm you for more in-depth guide if you don't mind. Thanks again

Can you help and mention the ones that don't require coding and could be done with 3 months training? I have tried programming and got to know that I don't have flair for it. Also studied data science under Microsoft (Beginner level) but got no practical experience yet.

TheGuyFromHR:


An MBA hasn't got much value; it's now almost as useless as an LLM for lawyers.
Experience always counts for way more.
Given your husband's current career and associated experience, why doesn't he apply for something in his field or related thereto?

If you are on a tier 2 visa, you can use your manager at work, but for tier 4, you can use anyone you know in the UK who is willing to vouch for you even if he does not live in your county. Just know that whoever you fill in will be contacted via call or mail during reference check before you get the house
