@OP Where in the UK are you based? Some locations can be a bit difficult but if you're around the London area, there's usually lots of jobs. My advise - you and especially your spouse (I assume she is the dependent) need to physically go to job agencies, shops in the Town Centre, restaurants etc. with your CV and tell them you're seeking a job. That's usually quicker than applying online. Try that and don't give up. You'll get one soon. Your spouse needs to do that on a daily basis 5 Likes |

fullclub: Lolzzzzzzz. Ask questions, network and don’t be a loner. Let me address some issues you raised here: JOB Once you arrive UK, you need to adjust your CV to fit standards, no carry naija cv format say you wan apply for work for UK, you’ll be bounced. Adjust your CV to fit the role you are applying for, have a separate cv for care, have one for warehouse, have one for cleaner etc. There are jobs in the UK but what matters is your location and how you are able to search, there are lots of sites beyond indeed, contact agencies and if possible visit those agencies that you can, not all those as most require appointments, ask fellow students and be ready to feel uncomfortable at first. It also important you try jobs within your location, no go apply for job wey require private transport when you no get car. Get your NI and where applicable DBS also. RENT This depends on the city you live and as someone that’s relocating I believe this should be one of the major factors to be considered by you. There are cities you can get accommodation below 450 and it depends on your taste as well. UK no be country wey you go plan to do big man, E go weigh you. Las Las, you go Dey all right. 2 Likes |

Oga calm down, don't be deceived or allow yourself to deceive those that want to japaaaa to the UK. It's always like that when you first come in bro. Again, depending on the part of UK you are in. Packaging your CV for indeed/total jobs is also important. After a few weeks or months, depending on your luck, you won't remember all these stress or stories anymore. I came here in February, I had £11k balance to pay the school. Bro, I can say authoritatively that I just paid the last batch last week without borrowing a dime. So, calm down, create reasonable relationship with people here, gather useful information and be prayerful, everything go turn story sooner or later. 6 Likes |

Op, I feel for you. Seems u didn't make possible arrangements before leaving. My colleagues that left for UK, Australia, US and Canada first went there, secured employment before resigning and moving. I know of one whose husband first left for UK and later invited them and they moved - the wife and children. After 6 months, that lady, my friend got job in GTB London. When I went to London in 2010, she even took me out for lunch. In that same 2010 in London, I met my coursemate, he say he's coming back, say tax too much in UK. Funny enough I went to London last year and still saw him, he's still there. Didn't talk of coming back again. So take it easy. 1 month is not enough to judge a country. 3 Likes |

fullclub:come on man!, why ya go searching for. obs on indeed? 200 jobs? You applied for? Including cleaning job? I don't believe it, you gota be telling porkies. Look! You don't go looking for jobs online, go register with an agency near you, call them daily to see if they have any jobs, tust me, in a week's time you d be working. Another way of finding jobs is walking into the company or firm you you would lik to work for and asking if there are any vacancies. 35million to 40 million and guessing in naira you spent? to come UK? Man! Isn't that like £35000? with £35k Man would relocate to Namibia, Cape Verde, Kenya or Gambia and live lika king! 3 Likes |

fullclub:Depends on what u do. I came to England 26th of September, 2023, I am an IT person, saw a computer warehouse where they recycle computers in my neighborhood in Birmingham and walked into it to notify them I was available for jobs. They asked of If I could fix Computers and tested me for 3 days. And I passed. I've received my first salary for 40.8hours which is about £462 thereabouts. I've also downloaded nextdoor app to notify neighbors that I fix Computers, I got a message from a primary school teacher to format her PC and fix RAM. I made £75 from that. Just bought a bike from facebook marketplace to aid my movement. I'm walking into a local pizza delivery shop to notify of my availability for deliveries on weekends. Japa isn't for everyone. U need skills to survive. 15 Likes 1 Share |
