DGN Videos on youtube.

to be honest, if you have not been driving here in the UK(own your car) or practising, just go for driving lesson. watching videos alone won't get you through roundabouts or the manoeuvres.

Others can speak on the topic, but this is my advise.

Who has applied for PSW visa here lately?

How many weeks did you have to wait before your BRP arrives?

I just applied for mine a week ago, I hope to travel in December so Iโ€™m praying it comes out this month as my flights have been booked.

Hello everyone, please I need your advise as this is my first time moving into an apartment that's not bills included.

Is EDF a good and affordable energy supplier?

Which is better... EDF or Octopus or OVo?

Pay as you go meter or postpaid meter?

Thank you.

It's a 1 bedroom flat. I'm moving in today but have been advised to take the meter reading of the previous tenant and reach out to the energy supplier(EDF) to register my account.

Yes that is very very important so as to avoid paying for previous tenant's bill.

When you get the bill from EDF then you can compare that with Octopus.

How do you prove what you know if you don't come to the attention of the people who will make the decisions and get the chance to make your case to them? Those posts circulate, get people taking note of you, create opportunities for connection and engagement that you would very likely never have had otherwise.

You might find it cringe, and obviously some people overdo it, but those posts serve a key purpose and LinkedIn generally is arguably the most important tool for early career success, and especially for immigrants.

Hello

Thatโ€™s a No No when working with Government

When he starts training and learn things like personal security online, intelligence awareness, security and data protection


He will reduce his social media presence that links him to MOD

Or he gets a query from his security team when they find out he posted that

Cheers

MOD has different departments that aren't core military or intelligence-based. I doubt if employees in such roles have such restrictions - he may be working in one of such roles.

Yea, that has been the trend on Linkedin. It's full of exaggerated stories from employees, job seekers and recruiters, with everybody trying to outdo others on their "amazing personalities and soft skills". But funny as it might sound, you'd be shocked at how some employers really value such demonstrations. Some prioritise it above technical skills.

cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy ....click baiting is actually a thing you know cheesy

You are right its not wrong really to toot your horn just that its becoming a funny trend ...may be cos its coming to my timeline but I hardly see others posting their raw results. Its good to declare your achievements and reflect back on what you learnt, demonstrate how it could be useful to your potential employers, but going the lenght to post sensitive details would also make your potential employer cringe at that textbook error.



Thewritingnerd:
I see nothing wrong with this sha. Bar the putting sensitive details like your uni number out (maybe done out of elation) , tooting your own horn will never be a bad thing to do. Itโ€™s the people thinking youโ€™re doing too much that should probably fix their internal esteem or envy issues.

Itโ€™s when you put yourself out there that bigger opportunities come. See this link that you put out now, how we go see am click if you no post am for public forum ? ๐ŸŒš
