Thank you for your help, grandma has gotten her visit visa.

Please do we need to book return ticket Or is a one way ticket good enough?

Ensure you're opening windows, for ventilation......

And not putting wet clothes all over the radiators......

Then apply this magic liquid (treat affected areas 4 times a day)...... You would need to open windows after spraying.......😁

This is your go-to spot for non-profit jobs: charityjob.co.uk

You might want to highlight your skill set, experience and interest. The UK job market isn't big on certification rather experience and expertise.

Also, you might want to define your career path, helping those in such sector to give more direct pointers.

All the best.

Hi Guys,

Has anyone been able to apply for Passport renewal in the last 7 days?.

I have been trying to Pay for my passport renewal, but when it takes me to the innovate page. I put in my card details, and I get the below error. I have tried different credit and debit cards, and I have also tried deleting the application and starting afresh. I get to the same point and get the same error.

I have searched online, especially nairaland and can't find someone who has experienced this.

It seems the name on the card you are using is different from the person you want to renew their passport. Or you are entering a wrong address coded on the card.

Hi guys, I am in the UK as a Skilled Worker dependent. My wife is an healthcare assistant in a care home. I also work 48hrs a week shift in the same care home with my wife. I work 4nights, she works 4days. Been in the uk now for 6months with our kids. (1year and 3years old). Aside this care work, what else can I do? I worked as a process engineer in Nigeria and I also did some personal trainings on data analysis (still learning).

What other jobs can I do aside care bearing in mind I have little kids to look after. How do I build a career path with my current situation.

Thanks guys. Awaiting your response

The address on the card is correct.

Yes the name is different as I am paying for a child.

What can I do? The child doesn't have a card.

I created a one-time Revolut card in the child's name and I was able to pay. You can use other platforms like Monzo or Starling too.

The UK job market is an experienced-based market, it's either you look for jobs tailored to your experience back in Nigeria or you decide to start a new career path by going for graduate or entry roles that require no experience to start. Good thing you are not looking for sponsored visa jobs for now so this is my personal advice, I have been seeing large companies like Lloyds bank advertising for entry-level business analyst roles, which they call apprentice Business analyst roles, I have also seen another Large company known as Legal & General advertised same, so check out things like that and apply. Apprenticeship roles as Business analysts, Data analysts, and others are a good way to go, for 12 or 24 months or so they will train while you work, with this you have solved the UK experience-ish barrier and you can move on from there. Good luck, so target large organisations for apprentice roles.

Just to add, salary amount should not be your problem now as this is where our people are missing it. Your priority is to define your career path and integrate fast into the Uk system

You're right UK job market is experience based, however, your experience in Nigeria can also count depending on you package your CV and how good your transferrable skills are.. if you've got what it takes to get the job please apply and give your best. Apply to coys directly and leave those Outsourcing HRS cos they'll ding you once they hear you've got no UK experience. I got my first job(experienced level) here without UK experience infact i got 2 offers. We need to up our game like the Indians and start applying for experienced level jobs.
