Most people travel to the UK daily, with the sole intention of coming to hustle. It is not news how it happens as I won't go into that. If you are in the UK to struggle, it's possible you are not documented. Not having the right papers in the UK is a big limitation. Without it, everything else is irrelevant. Your certificate, work experience etc is all garbage.
You'll have to make do with whatever you can get, job wise. You will celebrate the early morning cleaning job your cousin got you.
With the limitation, you really don't have many options regarding choice of job. You are most likely to get one of the five jobs listed below as your first job in the UK. You should know all these so you can make informed decisions before embarking on the trip. See list....


1) Security
This sector is peculiar to Nigerians and Asians, it is common among immigrants generally in the UK. Most people who are new in the country would do this job.
As a black man, wearing a black suit, people will easily mistake you for a security officer. While some people are not doing badly on the job, those who do not have the rights immigration papers would have to settle for the other side of the job.
I said the other side because some employers capitalise on their employees immigration status to exploit them.
The basic rate in the UK is around £6.50 but those employers pay as low as £3.00 and they pay cash. With those kind of jobs, you can do as many hours as you want in a week. To make it worse, they don't even pay on time, it is very sad.
It's not all sad news as some security officers command up to £15.00 an hour. Depending on experience and training.

I strongly recommend this job for students as it gives time to read and do all your assignments and coursework at work.



2) Care work
This is a job that requires you to help those who have difficulties in carrying out their daily activities. They include children, old people and others with learning disabilities.
If you enter our hospitals and nursing homes today, you'll understand what I'm talking about. Immigrants abound in this sector. As new immigrants, this is one of the jobs you are likely to do first. The requirements is just some two week training and you are good to go.
In some quarters, care work is classified as job for immigrants. The pay is not encouraging as well. On the average, most care workers earn the basic rate of pay which £6.50 per hour. It could involve carrying poos, packing vomits, bathing them and many more. It is about helping the vulnerable people generally.
