dustbin007: Why not just explore the airport? Then find one corner and sleep afterwards or gist if you're not alone. I think layovers less than 8 hours can be endured especially if it's your first time in the airport and you don't have money for direct flights. Not easy if you're alone sha but what can one do? 1 Like |

xtasyt: August/September is here. This question might be coming up everyday. You can use National Express if you seek affordability. You can either book online or at the Airport, I prefer newbies booking at the Airport when they land. https://www.nationalexpress.com/en 3 Likes |

dustbin007:Qatar airport has paid access lounges. You can pay for Al maha lounge or Oryx lounge online to enjoy 6 hours stay which comes with food, drinks, bathroom services, peace, quiet etcetera. In naira, this is about 32-40k for the 6 hours. In pounds about 45-55 pounds. The lounges are after security. This has to be paid before your travel. If you pay when you get to the lounge the price increases. 6 Likes 1 Share |

grandma123: Adjust your cv to meet the job requirements, maybe have one for accounting and one for project management. Apply to as many nhs jobs as possible (e.g project/delivery manager in your case). Include key words in the job description to your supporting statement. Don’t be too location specific. Start from the oldest jobs(the end, e.g page 357), you’ll get quick feedback. It’s just one interview, and all NHS interview questions are similar. Tie your experience or degree to your care experience. Use their buzzwords(NHS core values, project mgmt lingo etc) Ask for interview feedback, learn from your mistakes, pray & keep applying. Good luck. 6 Likes 3 Shares |

dustbin007:You’re welcome Call the airline though. Ideally if it’s a very long layover they should/could be providing hotel free of charge. Their intl helpdesk is helpful. |

Yes. Airfrance requires transit visa. If you call their call lines, they will tell you a different thing. You can book Nigeria to London and take a coach to wherever. I hope this helps. mintyx: |

Hello Elders, please is there any advantage working for NHS as a band 3 Nursing Assistant? My Wife works with a care home. She work as many shifts as possible depending on what are strength permits. We are also looking at healthcare sponsorship as she's comfortable with the job and I'm the one studying on tier 4 visa. Now, she got a Job with NHS as a Nursing assistant. She can only work for a 37.5 hrs per week. When it comes to settlement in this country or career growth, please is it worth it for her to move from the private care home to NHS despite earning less? |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by kode12: 6:31pm On Aug 17, 2022 |
teeebest: Personally, I'd stay let her stick with the care job that pays her more. With the rising cost of living, you're going to need all of that income. NHS Band 3 pay is peanuts regardless of where you live in this country. She can continue working the care home job, and looking for other openings with higher pay. It's not worth sacrificing much better pay now for sponsorship especially where there's a possibility of getting same a few months down the line. Those with sponsorship right now what are they doing with it? (Y'all don't come for my head please). Enjoy the pay now, who knows if she's a great worker and the care employer is in dire need, they might sponsor her there as well. At the end of the day it's choosing between short term (sure)benefits and long term (uncertain) gain. At the rate the country is going, by the time you're done on a tier 4 visa, you might already be looking at mission japa part 2. 6 Likes |

I don't know how the NHS band 3 pays. If it's marginal to care job, you might want to consider criticality of funds to you as a family at the moment; especially if owo is the ko ko (money na di tin)! If your concern is settlement in this country or career growth, you'll have to check other factors and weigh up. - will she be going mainstream into Nursing - does it matter which pathway of healthcare she follows as a career: Care, Nursing, others - will those be critical when you're done studying and start working in your profession - will you both be pursuing professional career - is ILR a 'project must have' or you're not so keen so long you get by in the UK or 'jakpa' to other 'safe' haven or move back (9ja) to live big Alongside status (to live in the UK), does the NHS pension makes any difference to you: AFAIK, NHS pension is one of the best (well, the academic will punts their annulation) The dynamics for care job might change in the next year or so. That of nursing might follow the same upward trajectory #pay #mobility #dignity Read discourse regarding possible intervention in healthcare in page 538. semmyk: TheGuyFromHR: Above are not exhaustive factors. You'll need to consider your personal circumstances, aspirations. All the best. Ki Oluwa kọ gbogbo wa mọ ṣe. kode12: teeebest: |
