Not necessarily.
There are no hard and fast rules.
Sometimes, at the pre-selection stage, some candidates are washed out because they will need sponsorship.
Sometimes, at the pre-selection stage, the company decides it is prepared to provide sponsorship if a good candidate may require it.
And I have heard of a couple of cases where a company went down the whole sponsor licence route for a specific candidate (it's certainly not as expensive as people think, far from it).

The point being that at whatever stage you raise the issue of sponsorship in a recruitment process and the subsequent outcome, you have not made a fatal mistake or done anything that you should regret.

Many thanks for this advise.

I have gone ahead in accepting an offer(I’m on a tier 4 dependent visa). Only challenge I’ve got now is, at what point do I bring up talks about sponsorship (probation period is 6 months)? as I have check and the org is on the UK sponsorship list.

Your guidance will be appreciated.

But this story itself discourages me from providing help. sad

Do you really believe the agent will reimbursed one naira. And Why didn't she mention from begining that this was the plan with an agent so that you can decide if you want to part with 2k or not ...... it stories like this and the outcome that causes the not rating well


Probability of refund = below 35%

In Nigeria there is this believe that if you have money then certain amount means nothing to you.

The statement is “Jide na big boy, £2k pounds na small thing for where him de”. No human consideration that Jide must have labored to to get the said £2k.

I find some of the responses here totally unwarranted. Like, why would any one here think some people fear Just2wise !? Are we in a primary school settings?

BTW,
I lent a female friend £2k for her to add to her POF around August last year. The money was SOLELY for proof of funds and she even suggested that we could draft and agreement but I wasn't having any of that(silly). She messaged me today that she didn't get the visa and with all the plenty talks, she didn't even mention anything about my money . I was shocked by her response when I asked her for the money since there wasn't any need for her to still keep hold of it. She said she paid the money to an agent to forge bank statements as the money I sent and about N500k were all she had(What she got from the Uni was more like part scholarship). Then she also paid the agent some other fees. Long story short, she has given my money to the agent BUT I don't need to worry as the agent promised to return the money back to her in the next few months and she'll definitely send it back to me when she gets the reimbursement No apologies, but black people don't even rate their fellow black people and some people come here to talk BS about Nigerians not helping their fellow Nigerians.

For some of you here, the only place you get valuable information is only on Nairaland because the Nigerian/African leaving next door doesn't even rates you. Yet you'll see of them acting like someone owes them a response. We need to stop preventing other people from getting help PLEASE, because some of the attitudes we portray discourages people from providing help.


Wow this is sad. They won't stop just know that one, nobody no wan carry last everyone is too smart.

Even to say the truth is hard. Just imagine.

In many adverts you see a line that states 'For enquiries, please contact so-and-so at [email address/telephone number]'.
That person is usually someone in the department where the vacancy is and they are involved in the selection process, and contacting them is a good step to get an idea of what the job role entails.

In most interviews, HR only sits in and notes down and ticks responses to the meaningless standard questions ('Can you tell us about a time when you demonstrated leadership or when you handled a situation successfully on your own and provided a good customer service outcome?), etc.

grin meaningless questions indeed. You're really the guy from HR

True.. it’s good to ask and get answers in the right context.


Your case may be different from the Indian guys.
I had almost your case but slightly diff.
My course was meant to end in July around 24th, but because I secured a job in March and my employer wanted me to begin in July, I had to get my lecturer step in form me. I was gurried through the course, finished 2nd of July and started the job 5th July but on Tier4, then switched to Skilled worker visa.

It was possible because it was nearing the end your course and the letter was needed because the company wanted you to swith immediately.

Please can someone advice me on how best to search for Project management jobs with T2 sponsorship. I’m currently searching while I’m trying to round off my masters. I just need to know what to search for and possible certificates needed. I’m hoping I can get a job at grad level in any industry as long as it’s project management role

Permit me to say a few around job search and a strategy when coming in to the Uk via your question maybe it may help a few peeps:-
My self and my wife we came to the Uk October 2020, My wife was a student while I was the dependent. I got a job almost immediately and starting working as a software engineer in a firm in Liverpool while my wife focused on her studies as we literally sold everything and planned to start a life here in the Uk. But we *had* a plan. Our plan was that by God’s grace I would get a sponsored job and because she also had experience as well, she would also finish her masters and also get a sponsored job kinda both of us having sponsorship running differently to avoid stories that touch. By the way my wife has about 5 years experience as a BA in treasury management mostly around a solution called calypso(one of the biggest around). Immediately she started school she started applying for graduate roles because they kinda offer jobs months/ even a year ahead with sponsorship before you even finish your program. We got lots of rejections, too many for that matter. Most times she would cry as I was always consoling her that they are the ones missing out as she would definitely get one.
As God may have it she got Accenture graduate role more inclined around project management. We were excited because at least we got the ball rolling as regards our big plans. 5 months after working in the firm in Liverpool I got an offer with sponsorship with another eCommerce firm in Leicester which required us is to relocate to Leicester, again the plan fell into place.
Wifey finally graduated in October with a distinction( as our money no fit waste �). Plans changed as I thought that she can actually get better in terms of job and pay. We started looking out for Calypso roles and to my surprise they are high in demand here in the Uk and the pay was great. Of course We we’re looking at sponsorship but we did not mind having one without sponsorship but with a better pay as she can go
Under me as a dependent but I had that believe that we can eat out cake and have it��. We applied to FD and LSE as they had roles and pay structure was great! To our surprise we had interview slots. My o my the interview was a breeze as na my wife they teach the guys for the interview. FD gave her an offer as a senior BA after like a week and said they will sponsor her visa under mine and we were like should we take it, meanwhile LSE was in the pipeline and the interview was also a breeze off cause we stalled FD’s offer and waited for LSE it was a bit slow because it was via an agency and the agency was skeptical about sponsorship but the final manager that interviewed her was so impressed and pushed for sponsorship and eventually they gave her an offer!!! FD got back to her and she told FD that she has an offer now with LSE, and they said they will match the money and started talks about how they can strategise her into management in no time but come on LSE was just the height!
She is starting with LSE later this month and all our plans since we came to the Uk kicked in, it was all God and preparation and opportunity!
Why I am saying this! If you come in to the Uk in October or January start applying immediately, don’t wait till your masters is about rounding up before you apply, there are lots of graduate roles, I would reckon that more experienced roles would want you to start immediately and would not give you the buffer to start months ahead.
Lastly you can always yearn for more! Go for it! You have it in you! Hope this helps anyone

@mimilyrics thank you for posting those jobs, they gingered me.

Ask them stimulating questions about career progression/opportunities (not pay) and you might just leave a good mark or finish on a good note. Every employee wants to employ folks who are driven

Another thing you could do... Just like someone mentioned above is ask for feedback on how the interview went/areas you could improve on. If they ask why, you could say to reflect on it and to help you in future interviews.

The reflection/feedback culture is well taught moreso in healthcare jobs. It helps folks learn continually just like a self-maintaining circle

Congratulations to you both. Most jobs do not indicate start dates as my program ends in sept and I get sceptical about applying incase they need me to start immediately. I guess going ahead to apply is a better option.

Can’t say if we applied a trick per say. We just did lots of practice and tried to validate responses.
Accenture’s second level interview was more around picking a topic amongst a list of selected topics and then talking about it. She picked AI, she specifically picked up deep learning use cases I think. Talked about similar class room projects about it and her experience in it using python. Then there was the behavioural now because it’s a graduate role she tried to answer them based on class room activities and did not really talk much about her previous experience in financial related stuffs she had done on Nigeria because at that graduate level they don’t expect that much because they intend to train you I believe.
Also we did lots of practice as I wanted to hear how she sounds over the questions to ensure she was confident and all.
Her final interview was with a technical /lead person in the firm I think. Same kinda process like the first. I know it’s competitive �
All the best and good luck in your next interviews

I believe it gives an edge. so she did a certification called PBA-PMI and also did ACI (trading) certification couple of months before she started the program so she talked about the whole certification process during the interviews too.
But most graduate roles might not require having certifications because your typical consulting firms would train you and also pay for these certifications for you while on the job

You can try amazon. Once got some from them before I got what I needed in an African store.
Better still, the corn flour method might come in handy. Get the regular corn flour from Morrisons et Al and prepare as you would the normal pap. You'll need to add some liquid milk and lemon to give it somewhat similar taste to ogi.

Thank you I’ll try Amazon first. They really sell everything there grin

Yes, the tricky thing about it is you have to travel with at least 1 child before it applies. That name is not suitable for the railcard.

Have you tried the family and friends railcard?

Hi Wonlasewonimi,

I have opened the account, transfer from another account to Revolut, pd for physical card and made not less than 4 online Pyt (above 5 pounds).

Have you been able to get the reward? Is the reward available and same for new account holder? Wetin we gain o ; cool grin

Pls what’s the best (reliable, cheap and fast) way of funding Monzo and Revolut account from money already in Naija bank account?

I want to believe I can get better options than going through black market.

Thanks

Hey Bro,

Nice one I can see that someone has gone through the process. Although I haven't received the reward yet, for taking the pains, DM me your Monzo account details (as its very easy for me to transfer to) I will send you £50.

I believe it gives an edge. so she did a certification called PBA-PMI and also did ACI (trading) certification couple of months before she started the program so she talked about the whole certification process during the interviews too.
But most graduate roles might not require having certifications because your typical consulting firms would train you and also pay for these certifications for you while on the job

Thanks for the reply. I’m hoping to get a few certifications before I round up. Thanks for the advice. It’s really encouraging.
