DeeOneBangin: By their driving ye shall know them. Funnily enough, I went to a driving school in Naija, and I was taught about that and not to do that, along with the proper way to navigate roundabouts (which I find difficult to unlearn, giving credence to Lexus' hypothesis). |

Suzam: Straight foward to apply using the app if you have required documents (proof of identity and address) and the app recognizes your voice and able to match your face with your documents else you would required to take your documents physically to a branch. |

Suzam: Lol. Barclays still has a hold over the Nigerian imagination as per a UK OGB. All UK banks na the same, and with the way they are closing branches these days, Barclays might become fully app-based like Monzo by the time our children are opening their own accounts. 1 Like |

TheGuyFromHR: You are right, I don’t think any driving school in naija will teach its students to do that. Some of us didn’t go to driving school, as a teenager I just picked up daddy’s keys to sneak out whenever there is a spare car at home. 3 Likes |

Hello house, please advise on this. I am on the verge of taking a second job (a professional job within my normal career path). However, prior to this, I took up a shift-based role (mainly weekends and some nights) about a month ago. The job isn't stressful, pays well and is flexible. I don't see a direct conflict of interest as they are in unrelated industries and unrelated roles. I am tempted to maintain my current job alongside the new job because of the benefit of the increased combined pay and my current role being fairly hassle-friend and flexible. Please advise on the best way to manage the situation or if I just have to resign from the current one @TheGuyFromHR @justwise @all, pls I need your advise. I don't know how the new employer would take information on having a second job and I would not want such information to prejudice their impression of my commitment to the job. I understand they can from the tax code from the HMRC deduce I am employed somewhere else 1 Like 1 Share |

Good day all , kindly advise on how to get accomodations in Glasgow, Scotland for a family five planning to arrive in September . How do we get accomodations ready a week before our arrival . Thanks |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by Lexusgs430: 10:13pm On Jun 13, 2022 |
Advision: How many hours is your current role + how many hours would you spend, at you proposed new role...... Forget about the lack of stress .......... |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by Advision: 10:26pm On Jun 13, 2022 |
Lexusgs430: The new role is full 40hours, but only 2 days in the office. The current role is as low as 16hrs and as high as you like (provided shifts are available). I told them I was only going to do weekends and maybe some nights. I never opted to do day shift and I do not have that in mind. ... but really the job has almost no stress, I just routinely take records and I get my full night's sleep in a furnished room. |

Advision: If you can perform both roles without your employer's sniffing you out or relying on either of them to file documentations........ Just ensure you don't inform your colleagues of your move or they would grass you up ........ Carry go ........ |
