ShalewaT: Most these professions depend on experiences. Sometimes one doesn't have to get a uk work experience before getting a job. If you're changing career try and get an experience while you study. |

Aprokodaughter:Thank you. I worked as a Business Development Executive. I don't know if that will be enough to get a part time job in a related field in UK, while studying to get this MBA/Pgcert |

ShalewaT: There is no harm in trying. People told me I won't see job in my field. Towards the end of my studies I got a job. I had to work my CV, watch lots of youtube videos on how to answer interview questions. Activated my linkedin job notifications. Realized most companies in my field use LinkedIn. Before I forget there are lots of Business related jobs on LinkedIn from different companies. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

AKALAMAGBO:Don't let that discourage you, you will probably be in the same shoe as other master's students. Leverage your school's career planning unit and get your CV in shape ASAP, start applying for jobs immediately. Over time, after seeing so many JDs, you will figure out the jobs that are really what you want and be able to tweak your CV accordingly. Try get a part time role while in school. ( Also In your CV, don't be explicit about the work locations) Increase your job search tempo by the second half of your program, you will land something just like every other person. 6 Likes 3 Shares |

AKALAMAGBO:You are welcome. Get active on LinkedIn as well if you are not already. LOADS and LOADS of jobs are on there, fine tune your search and set up alerts. A good number of the jobs are "easy apply" too so making applications are less stressful.. Also do lots of interview simulations with friends (using the more common interview questions.) 1 Like |

deept:IDK but i kinda have a feeling it might just be a false story. I don't take FB stories seriously and also deportation seemed too extreme. Haba But I have taken some lessons from the story whether true or false. I have just been thinking how that family will survive such? Whoever suggested the shopping is in a big mess lol |

Just putting this out there for any help I can get. Arrived Glasgow on the 27th of November, stayed at a B&B for some days before moving into a recommended friend's flat in Maryhill road G20 where I am paying 400 pounds/month for a room. This arrangement is just for a month as the original room owner is due back in the first week of January. I am currently searching for a studio or one room in a flat to move in before January in Glasgow. I have searched all the relevant sites and found a few, and looks like I might be settling for a 600 pounds/month room in G1 cos of the aesthetics, flexibility of tenancy and proximity to the University of Strathclyde where I am doing my PhD, but it is quite pricey and was looking for something in the region of 400-500 pounds per month, and was hoping if anyone here has any information that might help. I would be most grateful 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Estroller: No they don't, basically the main applicant just needs to demonstrate he or she is still needed for the job and explain any absences. Once the main applicant fulfills that the dependant should be fine as long as all the immigration rules were adhered to. You no get problem, fire on with your application. |

Estroller: I doubt that very much that a dependent salary will even be in the matter... what if the dependant is a house wife or house husband. It is not a requirement for the dependant to work hence I don't think it factors in at all At least not when I was doing mine. I know things change quickly so double checking is good but I don't see how it can factor in. It should be requirement regarding the main applicant 1 Like |

AKALAMAGBO: It won't give you an edge... just know that and you find wisdom in it However its good you know that and start preparing from beginning on how to tackle it. No problem without a solution. Aprokodaughter just shared how she prepared so learn from that . Target some areas, look at the job description and see how your experience can mirror that on your cv and skills and how you can speak about it too . You try and give it your best. Hopefully it all works out . No matter how hard an area is (in life generally) , you always still find success story 5 Likes |

ShalewaT:I kind of agree. If sponsorship is what you need. Mba, msc hr might not help you. Go for a skilled degree check linkedin and see for example, The internationals in the uni you got admission to did they get a job after studying same mba, msc hr with sponsorship and stayed back. Pay for linkedin premium and you have to dig deep and do in-depth research. 6 Likes 2 Shares |
