Bingo! I could not have said it better. I have posted the same thing in other similar threads. Bottom line - You have to do what most of the others shy away from. That is where the demand is. IT (software development), engineering, Nursing, Doctor, etc. Most of those finance, accounting, etc fields are difficult to break into. Same thing here in the US. Because even the US/UK citizens with degrees from good schools have a hard time breaking in.

Seriously if I'm not in my current line if work. I would have learnt how to program. Python, json (the language of aws), ios, java,.net, Ruby, perl, c# etc. Resources are plentiful on the Internet to learn. No. our youths are watching big brother. Smh
Asians don't struggle for work here at all... And everywhere I have worked, they ship them in on some strange visa that people don't know about.
Our people will face the same area, wanting to work in administration jobs.

An African community does not exist here and in the next 2 towns. Area is 98% white with the other 2% being other nationals.

We are about an hour outside Glasgow in the Ayrshire/Kilmarnock/Irvine/Troon Zone.

I've only seen 1 other black person since we got here and the person just stopped by from Glasgow to buy something Lol.

I think www.adesfoods.com deliver African foodstuff from London

True. Having a skill that they possess can make it difficult for one to break into the same occupation, but since sponsorship isn’t needed, working in such roles is possible, it will just take time.

I’m into the tech side of BA (SCRUM software projects) which a lot of them don’t do, as they are more of finance BAs. So I still have leverage. I just searched for a month and gave up, lol, then jumped at this opportunity I have to keep me going till my dream job comes. Thanks for the support.

I see a lot of roles for scrum master on jobserve. The secret is never to relent. It just takes one opportunity to have your big break.
Right now, everyone follow agile development processes, your skill set will always be in demand. When you have the time and money, go get your certified scrum master.

Mamatukwas:
So what do you advice she do or are there other fields we are missing Coz you sound like you're a veteran. Do share pls.

If you read my previous posts on this thread or the other one, we have discussed it in detail. The big point is you can't compete with oyinbos in areas where they have core skills... That's why the roles like accounting, customer services even now BAs are tough to break into. You have to go for technical stuff in IT. You see why so many foreign doctors, Asian programmers etc oyinbos won't compete much in those areas. And you will make your mullah.

Aphrodite007:
Yeah they pay £90 per day, but to me it’s better compared to sitting at home waiting for BA to work out well, and yes, I will bolt when I get the experience I need

I know I will eventually land a BA role, I mean, I’ve been searching for just a month , but I can’t keep doing nothing while I wait is all. Thanks Dear.

Information on better paying jobs are welcomed

That's the way to go... Whilst doing that you can choose an area you want to specialise and skill up. When the time is right you will drop this one.
If you know how how much the end client is paying them for that £90 ehhn. That's why we call them pimps. Good luck

Aphrodite007:
So I want to give an update on my job search.

I have applied for a few BA roles on jobsite, Reed, Indeed, etc.. but it seemed that they want someone with more experience so I decided to step downwards and apply as a Jnr, but this still wasn’t easy as I’m in the North, which isn’t as great as the south. Also, the few offers I got cake with strict requirements of a car, so that ruined my chances 3 times (as the work places aren’t easily commutable).

I’m an IT BA, but the most BA roles they have are for finance BAs (people with financial background/experience), so this seemed to hinder my search a bit.

My husband’s friend then introduced me to huntswood/momenta/hazellcarr to work as a complaint handler. Apparently they paid quite well, and they are all financial services institutions, so I jumped at the offer and applied- this is the much needed financial background. But I didn’t get a call back. I then toned down my CV to include my student jobs, and admin work, but I still didn’t get a call back.

Finally, I was advised to call them up, which I did, and lo and behold, it was as if they were begging me to come work for them. That’s when I realised that it’s best to call the organisation to inquire about vacancies, then they would give you their personal-official email to mail your CV to, instead of the generic email that the CVs get dumped into.

I’ve written this to inspire someone like me who didn’t know where to start applying from, and didn’t have anyone to ask questions- I asked a few friends in the south to give me tips on how to start but they were being secretive or just not being helpful. I want to make sure I’m different from them hence this epistle!

BA /pmo jobs have been bastardised by the cowboy training centres. More so, you will be competing with seasoned BAs who are also out of jobs.. So the chance is slim.

Back in the day, when ppi was hot cake that's when agencies like huntswood, momenta etc sprang up...for a starter like you, it's a foot in the door but me I won't touch them with a large barge pole. Main reason being their payment terms is shyte and their rates are uber shyte.
As soon as you get your experience, please bolt.

Geetrix.. Congratulations. Drive safely o and don't drink and drive.

They were actually dancing to meet the nonentities lmao...mr buhari, I now agree with you

Why didn't he wear the ayeta

Oga you don't have to respond to my Question. Thank you

Nobody will respond to your question because it is vague. I repeat, you stand a better chance with Google... Here they provide answers to more granular enquiries.

Hi Good day Pls I want to Live and Work permanently in the U.K. ..how do I go about it?

These are the kind of questions that made buhari labelled us lazy youths. If you ask Google this question you will get precise information. Off you go...

There are three main authentication factors in IT security :
What you know - passwords, pin
What you have - access card, token etc
What you are - biometrics - fingerprint, voice and face id.

Out of the the three, biometrics is the hardest to compromise but security best practice stipulates the use of multi factor authentication. That is combination of two or the three of them for extra layer of security.

He doesn't even have any respect for our heavens gate keeper Daddy GO.

Adjoin or adjourn? How dopey can these people be?

I like the fact that they created something... What I don't like is when people major in minor.

Create something that will solve significant problems... I don't even eat bitter leaf and those that do will not necessarily buy the machine.

Please go back to the drawing board boys!

Ofcourse I know now as long I have someone with a valid license of 3yrs and not less Dan 21yrs old with me (theory mode activated ). It's better Dan not being restricted oo.
My brother to go anywhere major is not less Dan 2hrs by bus and I don't enjoy it especially with me and my constant buggy.

Ahhh I see. I thought you are not aware of the process that's why you were dancing azonto.

Anyway I wish you all the best.

Forgot to add, had to take a new passport and decided to use dose self booth at tesco and some shops after discovering dt it's like 3 pounds cheaper and I was eager to test it being the bush geh dt I am.

So I sat down and followed all d on-screen instructions and voila my passport photographs in 6 places came out all for 6pounds

Pros: very easy to use once u follow the instructions
You can take up to 3 and select d best to print

Con: none really but I think not being able to cut it into 6 individual pcs. Didn't see any cutter around and no one was near me to ask. I just resorted to using my perfect scissors and blade

Who told you that you're allowed to drive with a provisional license?
My friend got caught twice he had 6 points before getting the full one.

The rule is that you have to put a big L in front and back of the car and be accompanied by full licence holder who has been driving for 2 years.

Now get ready for the very expensive journey of learning how to drive.

Both of you don't even know or have any idea what the next phase of your life is going to be in the shithole

Ehn ehn, na so u love slice bread reach tell us d advantage of d bank na and what made u open one.

I discovered monese which is part of d challenger banks den but decided not to open again cos of d monthly charges to run it. Didn't want to add dt to bills again when I could have a current account for free.

Come on.. I'm talking about agege sliced bread that you can dunk inside hot bournvita.

Yeah I travel to Europe a lot and every time you withdraw or use your card you get charged. So, a friend told me about these new banks.
I just picked starling bank out of about 12 of them.
The opening process was too smooth... You just upload your id and and do a 10 sec. Video via the mobile app. Then they go away to do their checks within 6hrs they opened the account with 1k overdraft... While I waited 3 days to get my shiny mastercard.

The main benefit apart from free withdrawal overseas fir me is the online real time notification.
Sometimes when you use your card in multiple places , the account balance gives you headache cos it's not updated until about 24hrs. This one is different, you see everything as you are spending.

If you lose your card, you can freeze it from the app. When you find just unfreeze.

You can lock the contactless capabilities and even request for a disposable virtual cards if you buy stuff a lot from online... This means no one can use your bank details for fraud.

Did I tell you it's very easy to set up a new payee unlike the old banks.

The interface is so user friendly, you can budget with it.

I can also open a business account without stepping into a bank.... And it's totally free to operate. What's not to like.

BTW I don't work for them oooo

Key takeaway is you can kill yourself with a product called sniper

The thing is most of the earlier respected pastors are now rogues. It is the result of being in a shithole

YOUNGELDER1:
You’re absolutely right I noticed that too. When ever I try to window shop online like maybe check prices on Amazon or Ali express, I log on Facebook check notifications and i see adverts of the same products on jumia etc.

lilkech:
I’m deactivating and deleting my ‘real’ Facebook from today.

Imagine I went on aliexpress yesterday to see and compare the prices of egg incubator machines and then i got into my Facebook to check my notiyand saw adverts of the same machines from amazon and eBay ON MY FACEBOOK

this is wrong ... and I visited aliexpress with my phone oh ... so imagine what type of espionage Facebook conducts on pc users

Lol you guys have never heard about web cookies.

fatima04:
Airbnb is a good ooption, you can also check for hotels on booking.com, I have found it to be cheaper in some locations and also u get free breakfast for some options included.

Renting a house will be easier once u start your job and have all you bank account sorted out and you cant do that from Naija. To open a bank sef is another story entirely but I believe ur employer will help u with dt.

Life is easier now with the proliferation of the challenger banks(google it). I just opened a new bank account with a bank called Starling bank. It is one of the best things since slice bread.

Seems people don't know who Putin is... Though he doesn't talk much, he is deadly.

sutelk:
Good day house. I'm trying to put things in place ahead of my resumption in June. My biggest challenge now is accommodation.
My employer won't be providing accommodation. They do have staff accommodation that is managed by another related company which is cheaper and within walking distance of my place of work. However, I cannot apply for the staff accommodation until I get some papers from my employer which can only be issued after my resumption.
I have been advised to seek temporary accommodation for about a week or two till I sort my preemployment/induction issues.
I'm quite familiar with Rightmove and Zopla but they are giving conditions that I cannot meet for now from Nigeria, like 3 months statement, deposits etc.
please what are the other options I have in getting a temporary accommodation of 2weeks Max a month aside hotels, something like budget hostels.
I don't have any friends or relatives in the area (I'm talking of Cambridge, Cambridgeshire)
Thanks.

The solution to your problem is Airbnb
