I think you shouldn’t make such sweeping generalizations! I came in this September and I have had 4 interviews! I rejected one, got rejected from another and I accepted two others! I currently have two jobs. In my class, all the nigerian students there are already employed. ALL.

So maybe it’s your location. If it’s not, look into making drastic changes to your CV. Different people will experience different sides of the UK. My advice will always be to be prepared, research into the area you’re heading to and WORK ON YOUR CV.

Also, build relationships and connections with your fellow Nigerians! Don’t rely on only indeed.

Pennyseo2:



Which job? I can boldly hit my chest and say over 80% that came in last September has not gotten job till this January. Jobs are scarce now.... Let's stop creating this false impression.
The few I know that got.. Had to travel 3 hours going n 3 hours coming just to work less than 20hours per week n it's only when they are called.

Is it the care job that now ask for 6 months experience? Or the warehouse that don't accept students. Or the indeed that u keep getting unfortunately we have proceeded to the next stage.
We only hear the few positive side and never got to hear the numerous tears, pain and anguesh of numerous people that Japa until you find yourself here before you start knowing the plain truth

directonpc:


OK. Maybe share more details about the mail you got on the 20th

This is the mail they send to me. The documents are not clear to me pls you guys should help

I won't argue with you but you can't discredit what I just said based on your account.

I repeat... All that came in September 70 to 80% haven't got job until now.What I stated is the pure fact based on information from 4 different cities.. Then mine making it 5.

I have people in 4 different cities... Most travel 2 hours to their work place. That's the only place they could secure a job. And most of this jobs comes through referer


I now have a job after 5 months of staying idle.

I have to do a specialise certification that restricted others from doing this kind of job and it cost me over 900 pounds before I got the certificate and licence.



Are you paying me to make post on nairaland that I should just stand up and be lying?

ogbeisoken12345:


This is the mail they send to me. The documents are not clear to me pls you guys should help

Send screenshots of your WhatsApp chats with you partner over a span of 1 year to date

Send a pdf containing pictures of your before wedding (dating), wedding, and after wedding pictures that you and your partners are together.

Proof of living in the same address can include your partners official document that shows the address and your own official document that shows your address.

The above together maybe easier and stronger than rushing to open a joint account.

ogbeisoken12345:

I got this too. I only sent them a joint account opened 5 days before which had the same address as us and our WhatsApp chat from February this year till now randomly. chats from Snapchat and comments on Tittok.I sent it from my end and her side of the chat...I made sure I showed part of the chats with our pictures so dey know it's us and not one conjure chats.it was approved 5days later

I didn't send any wedding pictures only random pictures of us at home with a ring and I gave them at the initial application but Dey sent that NSF email before I gave them a joint account and chats

So a single applicant can’t budget 10m for UK like this?

You're over-generalizing. Someone just corrected you yet you don't want to keep to correction. Again, don't forget that some people are unemployable. You and your friends might be an example

Honestly, you need to be patient. You are not far from the truth. Employers stopped hiring around the middle of December, so finding a job now is challenging. This happened last year, and now everyone seems to be doing better.

Warehouses barely accept part-time positions, and it's challenging to secure one. As for care jobs, some employers might require UK experience, while others are willing to train you on the job. You might receive callbacks from those who unfortunately couldn't offer you a position earlier, seeking your interest from March this year. Don't worry; there's no rush.

When they say digital conversation, it means whatsapp messages, facebooks message, snapchat message and very many of the online messages. They need an evidence to show it's not an arranged marriage.

Cheers!!!

For people who have previously been successful with student visa applications, did you hold your POF in your account until after visa was issued or you took out the money after biometrics?

Boss...trust me, he's being real (in his /her own way)

This is not a matter of being employable or not.

Students find it more difficult to get jobs these days bro.

I agree with this....march/April upward, things will be less intense as it is right now as regards jobs.

Leave the money in your account until after your visa is issued

For now, the IHS is £470 + (470/2) = £705 (for a 1-year course).

Note: The IHS fee will increase by around 60% from the end of this month. Starting from January 31st, a one-year course will cost £1,035 + (£1,035/2) = £1552.5.
