But you know the drill naaa. For Youkay, just park your Naija former positions one side and try to upskill to meet up with the job requirements here. I'm not sure that person cn just jump into a secretary role just like that with her MBA. Best she can do is look through job sites and see if she can relate her experience working in her dad's company to any of the roles advertised as transferable skills.

Abeg o help me answer people of God

Good afternoon,

Phayie:


Ask yourself if what you wrote on public forum makes sense

My sister na deaperation. U no go understand the kind hot seat wey this person dey. But i totally undersand ur view

If you are new to the UK and you don't have a credit score or you are looking top work up your score.
Unfortunately, it won’t make any difference if you had a wonderful financial record back in Nigeria because in the UK you are starting from scratch.
The good news is you can do a lot of things that can help you build a great credit score.https://americanexpress.com/en-gb/referral/oLUWAAK1Ex?XL=MIMNS

There are two important things you need to understand: getting a credit card and Improving your credit score.

Getting a credit card.
Before you can get a credit card, you should have a verifiable name. This means getting your name and records into the system.
Here are a few tips for that.
i. Get on the electoral register. This is basically registering to vote, and it makes it easy to link an address to your name. Visit https://www.gov.uk/electoral-register
ii. Get a cheap Sim-Only contract like O2, Virgin, EE, etc. rather than PAYG like Lebara or Lyca.
iii. Apply for a provisional driver's licence (if you have spent 6 months in the UK).
iv. Get your name on a utility bill: gas, electricity, internet...
All these are very easy ways of getting your name and record in the system.
You can use easy credit card providers like
Capital One: A quick check will be run to see if you are eligible. https://quickcheck.capitalone.co.uk
Amex: The check is less stressful and usually quicker, bonus points are also awarded which can be redeemed later. https://americanexpress.com/en-gb/referral/oLUWAAK1Ex?XL=MIMNS
You can get enough bonus point to get a free return trip to your destination of choice with British Airways.
Store cards. Stores like Tesco, Argos, etc. issue credit cards for customers with no history.

Improving credit score
Using a real-life scenario, my score goes up every time and here is the summary of the reasons as stated on my record.

What's affected your score this month?
i. Your score has gone up because you've been on the electoral register at your current address for a longer time.
ii. Your score has gone up because you now have active revolving credit accounts, such as credit cards.
iii. Your score has gone up because you're using a reasonable amount of your available credit.

**You can also improve your record by manually reporting your rent using services like creditladder.

Some banks like Lloyds will show you what your credit score is on the app.

Honestly we no suopose dey use 15mins dey bath. Ppl need to realize say bathing ur skin too much is not really good. Ur skin need those oil. The skin will sort itself naturally. Dont leave the tap on when brushing. Dont wash unless u have a pile of dirty cloth.

Dont do underwashing by that i mean washing less cloth in the washing machine.

These thins na just sustainable procedures.

Although it is very hard to achieve.

For example even me wey dey talk. I get over 100 tesco nylon. Even when tesco try to put a price on each nylon to make us reuse old nylon. Ppl still dont care they will still pay for new nylon when they have dozens at home they can resuse

We don’t wash for 15mins. We just let the water cool the head. It’s a substitute for swimming 😃 😊

So if I used to work for Microsoft in Nigeria, I should park it to one side?

I use the Tesco International Calling App (11.5p/mins and unlimited SMS) - so a £5 credit would give you about 45mins call time.

WhatsApp is free

.

Not that ....I'm sure you understand where I'm driving at

If you have previous experience working for Microsoft in Nigeria or any of the consulting firms like PWC, KPMG etc ...you stand a better change getting a role with their office here in the youkay.

But if you hold a position of Director this_or_that with any kain company or organisation for Naija before you come over, just humble yourself small cos you go hear am small

Hi, use ‘Talku’
It’s an app that you can use as long as you have internet on your phone (the person you are calling doesn’t need to have internet)
To get free credit on talku, all you have to do is watch a couple of ads in the app
Here’s my link to download (I’ll get some free credits if you use my link)
http://talkyou.me/ios/fl/es/a/?i=talkudVg8ba
You can also just search for talku on your App Store of google play store if you don’t want to use my link.
I’ve been using it since 2017 without any problem

You’re welcome

Hclinton:
Thanks. I just went through it. My question is it's my dependant that is working as carer, pls the phrase below is not clear " If you’re eligible, your dependants can also get a refund. You must include them in your application".
If my dependant is applying for refund, will it cover me the primary applicant who is a student and will her own also cover for the children. Thanks

This works same way your visa works - main applicant applying and all your dependants enjoying same privilege courtesy of main applicant.
Just make sure you have everyone’s IHS handy, and your payslip covering 6 months.

For CASH LISA account holders, do not forget to get the £4,000 into it to get the free 25% ((£1,000) by end of tax year in 5th April 2023. This could be used to deposit for your first mortgage house. Husband and wife less than 40 years could open this account and save upto £10,000 each tax year until both reach 50 years when you cannot save money in the LISA account.


For STOCK & SHARES ISA account holders, do not forget to max out the £20,000 allowance per tax year, 5th April, 2023. When you max out the £20k in stocks and shares ISA account, you can keep putting more funds in your General Investment Account.

There are so many stocks that are quite cheap in NYSE...you can cherry pick good dividend paying stocks with dividend yields upto 6-8%.

Remember that profits from stocks and share lSA account and dividend payments from your stocks and shares ISA account are not TAXABLE....tax man doesn't look into these earnings

Slow and steady win in the market....

HAPPY 2023.....

Hello, Which bank offers this LISA account option?
Or what is the process of opening a LISA account?
Thanks

Please what job do u think a lady with a mba from nigeria can do in uk if such lady does not want to do support or care?

She has experience as a secetary in her dads company in nigeria.

Is it possible for such person to be employed as secetary, receptionist, Personal assistant or any clerical role in uk without any uk experience?

Or which work such person fit do if no be support or care? Asking for someone pls

youkay is not like Nigeria. Roles like secretary and clerical jobs are non existence or scarce in the uk . The title personal assistance is mostly used for care/support work. Nevertheless, tailor your cv to highlight transferable skills and look for customer service roles. Hope that helps.

The sales of RHD in Nigeria, is not great...... Considering all your logistical/associated cost, it might be a business venture too far .......

But if you have done all your FS, goodluck.........
