Oyinbo, phillipines m people dey do 13-20 years care lol

Care visa is a bird in hand for most people here and if you are truly determined, you can volunteer for unpaid work in your preferred field and after 5 years, you pursue it fully.

If you are brave, do post study visa and hope your skills and experience will land you a Sponsored job.

Please has anyone applied for naija passport renewal between November 2022 and now and has gotten back the passport? A passport that was supposed to have been delivered since early January is still outstanding.

Peerielass:


The problem with this strategy is that the person would have wasted the three years they could have used to beef up their CV and position themselves in the relevant industry.

Hello people

According to whose standards is caring job a waste of one's time? Let's give care givers some dignity.

We seek different things in different jobs. Some seek peace of mind that comes with sponsorship knowing that one day the stress will be over and they'll move on, others have made up their mind to go for a second, third and so on masters or live illegally if they don't get sponsorship. Some have partners that will start masters which will in turn give them continued legal stay.

Different situations guide these decisions so care workers should not be crucified. Nothing stops anybody from changing job/career anytime they so desire.

Accommodation issue here in the UK is more difficult than obtaining visa. Landlords and agents don't want to give houses to peeps just coming in. How can we jump this hurdle? My family and I are still paying huge money in Airbnb. Advice please.

Thank you so much Justwise Mizgene Bigtt76 Hustla for your advise, it really helped and I’ve been offered a 20 hour role.

I am especially happy as this happened just under a month of specifically searching for jobs in the nhs and being 4 months in the uk, This will also be my second job so I am happy to be building on the experience.

I hope the road to sponsorship favors me as the job search has.

Please I sent you a message . Please check your email. Thanks

Lexusgs430:



They are also very quick to block your account...... They would offer no explanation............ 🤣😂

Peerielass:


Are you into shady dealings 😂? I’m only keen on the switching bonus.
They all have their individual problems eg. TSB has intermittent IT issues, HSBC is very selective when it comes to choosing their customers etc.

This care work talk is really a thing for consideration.

I need advise actually


I and my wife both got admission to same school , while my wife is studying, i deferred mine ( Applied data science) to October

Currently about to start carework next month, no talk of sponsorship yet.

The goal is to be a data analyst/scientist starting from an entry level role, i have some certifications and projects completed but the jobs are not coming.
Applying on LinkedIn but only few calls back.

Should i go for studies after my wife completes hers or keep looking for that entry level role which i am not sure will come with visa sponsorship.

JaySterling:
Any app with a better rate than lemonade?

Tech Nation made its impact with trailblazers like Monzo, Revolut and the Global Talent Visa scheme.
