TheGuyFromHR: Many thanks for this advise. I have gone ahead in accepting an offer(I’m on a tier 4 dependent visa). Only challenge I’ve got now is, at what point do I bring up talks about sponsorship (probation period is 6 months)? as I have check and the org is on the UK sponsorship list. Your guidance will be appreciated. |

gratefulme40:Your case may be different from the Indian guys. I had almost your case but slightly diff. My course was meant to end in July around 24th, but because I secured a job in March and my employer wanted me to begin in July, I had to get my lecturer step in form me. I was gurried through the course, finished 2nd of July and started the job 5th July but on Tier4, then switched to Skilled worker visa. It was possible because it was nearing the end your course and the letter was needed because the company wanted you to swith immediately. |

ricdavies: Permit me to say a few around job search and a strategy when coming in to the Uk via your question maybe it may help a few peeps:- My self and my wife we came to the Uk October 2020, My wife was a student while I was the dependent. I got a job almost immediately and starting working as a software engineer in a firm in Liverpool while my wife focused on her studies as we literally sold everything and planned to start a life here in the Uk. But we *had* a plan. Our plan was that by God’s grace I would get a sponsored job and because she also had experience as well, she would also finish her masters and also get a sponsored job kinda both of us having sponsorship running differently to avoid stories that touch. By the way my wife has about 5 years experience as a BA in treasury management mostly around a solution called calypso(one of the biggest around). Immediately she started school she started applying for graduate roles because they kinda offer jobs months/ even a year ahead with sponsorship before you even finish your program. We got lots of rejections, too many for that matter. Most times she would cry as I was always consoling her that they are the ones missing out as she would definitely get one. As God may have it she got Accenture graduate role more inclined around project management. We were excited because at least we got the ball rolling as regards our big plans. 5 months after working in the firm in Liverpool I got an offer with sponsorship with another eCommerce firm in Leicester which required us is to relocate to Leicester, again the plan fell into place. Wifey finally graduated in October with a distinction( as our money no fit waste �). Plans changed as I thought that she can actually get better in terms of job and pay. We started looking out for Calypso roles and to my surprise they are high in demand here in the Uk and the pay was great. Of course We we’re looking at sponsorship but we did not mind having one without sponsorship but with a better pay as she can go Under me as a dependent but I had that believe that we can eat out cake and have it��. We applied to FD and LSE as they had roles and pay structure was great! To our surprise we had interview slots. My o my the interview was a breeze as na my wife they teach the guys for the interview. FD gave her an offer as a senior BA after like a week and said they will sponsor her visa under mine and we were like should we take it, meanwhile LSE was in the pipeline and the interview was also a breeze off cause we stalled FD’s offer and waited for LSE it was a bit slow because it was via an agency and the agency was skeptical about sponsorship but the final manager that interviewed her was so impressed and pushed for sponsorship and eventually they gave her an offer!!! FD got back to her and she told FD that she has an offer now with LSE, and they said they will match the money and started talks about how they can strategise her into management in no time but come on LSE was just the height! She is starting with LSE later this month and all our plans since we came to the Uk kicked in, it was all God and preparation and opportunity! Why I am saying this! If you come in to the Uk in October or January start applying immediately, don’t wait till your masters is about rounding up before you apply, there are lots of graduate roles, I would reckon that more experienced roles would want you to start immediately and would not give you the buffer to start months ahead. Lastly you can always yearn for more! Go for it! You have it in you! Hope this helps anyone 59 Likes 6 Shares |

HollyMadison: Another thing you could do... Just like someone mentioned above is ask for feedback on how the interview went/areas you could improve on. If they ask why, you could say to reflect on it and to help you in future interviews. The reflection/feedback culture is well taught moreso in healthcare jobs. It helps folks learn continually just like a self-maintaining circle 5 Likes 4 Shares |

mdeeokoye: Thanks for the encouragement I will start looking immediately. I don’t have work experience relevant to the field though as I’m currently doing my master immediately after my Nysc. Whenever I see the job description asking for experience, I just don’t know how to spin it, even for graduate roles. In your opinion can getting some online certifications to back up your degree prove useful in securing the job |

Hi guys, My husband works in another city and takes the train to work and he spends alot on that cos taking the bus is almost the same amount. We have tried to get a digital railcard but didn't see any one for his 30+ age category. Is there any other way to get a discount on train fare? |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by Preshyi: 4:02pm On Jan 16, 2022 |
Congratulations to you both. Most jobs do not indicate start dates as my program ends in sept and I get sceptical about applying incase they need me to start immediately. I guess going ahead to apply is a better option. mdeeokoye: 1 Like |

Can’t say if we applied a trick per say. We just did lots of practice and tried to validate responses. Accenture’s second level interview was more around picking a topic amongst a list of selected topics and then talking about it. She picked AI, she specifically picked up deep learning use cases I think. Talked about similar class room projects about it and her experience in it using python. Then there was the behavioural now because it’s a graduate role she tried to answer them based on class room activities and did not really talk much about her previous experience in financial related stuffs she had done on Nigeria because at that graduate level they don’t expect that much because they intend to train you I believe. Also we did lots of practice as I wanted to hear how she sounds over the questions to ensure she was confident and all. Her final interview was with a technical /lead person in the firm I think. Same kinda process like the first. I know it’s competitive � All the best and good luck in your next interviews [/quote] 4 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by mdeeokoye: 4:32pm On Jan 16, 2022 |
ricdavies: I believe it gives an edge. so she did a certification called PBA-PMI and also did ACI (trading) certification couple of months before she started the program so she talked about the whole certification process during the interviews too. But most graduate roles might not require having certifications because your typical consulting firms would train you and also pay for these certifications for you while on the job |

You can try amazon. Once got some from them before I got what I needed in an African store. Better still, the corn flour method might come in handy. Get the regular corn flour from Morrisons et Al and prepare as you would the normal pap. You'll need to add some liquid milk and lemon to give it somewhat similar taste to ogi.

Yes, the tricky thing about it is you have to travel with at least 1 child before it applies. That name is not suitable for the railcard. ricdavies: |
