Sure...just ensure you dry it very well to remove the odour. Elderly women should be able to help you out with that. For palm oil, it's not bad as portrayed.

Zarha and others with interview experience, i need advice on how to answer their behavior questions. Did an interview with them that didn't pan out well. I need pointers in answering their question. Are there any buzzwords to use ?

erico2k2:

From my personal experience, I can tell you this for free, ,The UK employer give less attention to your certificate, They focus more on Experience cos most of your interview questions will be case studies. So how do one give answer to a case study when they don't have any personal or gone fru situation where they could use such as a case study?. Unless such job is at entry level then I don't know,
PS .Some Employers even go as far as even saying things like UK experience!

My current roadblock is the damn uk experience.

🤭🤣🤣🤣

Mistake a lot of people do again is omitting from their applications agencies they worked with on shifts etc. These guys just want someone here they can ask to confirm your suitability to work in their workplace environment. So if you worked shifts under Indeed Flex, you can mention the experience...it's your UK experience and you can't chunk it off, my take though.

I think he means Experience gained working in the Uk, if you are in Nigeria and all your experience were obtained from Nigeria then you are in same boat as my man here. There are some jobs who specifically will state UK experience.

Really. I didn't know.
I'm anxious.
How about taking medications like pain killers, antibiotics, supplements and malaria medicines. Do I need to declare them and get doctors prescription?

Over the counter medication is Ok, however if it serious meds get prescription ohh to avoid stories that touch. They don't search for those though if put in your checked in luggage, but make small shyte nor spoil things you know what I mean. Certain Pain killers are banned and prohibited in the Uk and in Nigeria like codeine.

Codeine is now classified a Class B controlled drug in the UK.

You can try fixed term roles while applying for permanent roles at the same time. Fixed term are easier to get from my experience.

I did a six month contract with a private firm while I was on tier 2. I got a 1 year fixed term role with an NHS Trust immediately after studies. Five months into the fixed term, I secured a permanent role at a higher band in another Trust.

Left to me alone, I would not take all those meds because since Dora died we have more of fake and substandard drugs in Nigeria but I heard accessing healthcare in the UK is difficult.

There are no buzzwords per se. Its how you structure your responses to show you are utilising the skills you say you have.
For example, STAR is an excellent way to show how you meet the behaviours. I always advise going a bit further and make it STARR (ie add what you would do differently nezt time in the same situation or your specific learnings from that situation) which then ties into continuous improvement
Send me an email and I'll send you some examples of behaviour responses I've used amd now also use for L and D development sessions at work

Experience here are of two types - competence based and behavioural (work culture fit). Your Nigerian experience can pass through for the competence based experience if you know your onions well, while your experience with agencies here can easily pass through for behavioural experience. Just list all to cover the last 5 years. If they people here are so bent on dignity in labour, who are we to not list our agency shift experiences?

I understand your point, and it's reasonable. For roles requiring certification exams, like nursing, it makes sense not to sponsor individuals directly from outside the UK unless they already have the required PIN. However, it's still worth trying, as some Trusts might be willing to give you the benefit of the doubt and find a way to help you qualify. Some people are sponsored immediately upon getting a job with the Trust, while others may have to undergo a six-month probation. Each situation is different.

bns4eva:


No NHS Trust will give sponsorship for you to come to the UK for band 6 without a pin. The only exception is if you sponsor yourself to the uk to write the osce and have the pin then you can start to apply for band 6 role and this is somehow hard because no UK experience as the Trust will ask for UK experience. I know its easy and fast to move from band 5 to band 6 when you have done DN training.

I didnt limit myself LOL, I'm only stating the facts.

Cheers

My Nigerian debit card has expired. Anybody has an idea or pointers on how I can get another one? Are virtual cards a viable option? My bank is GTB. Thank you for your help.

Band 6 from overseas is common for some Midwifery and Psychiatric nursing roles even some adult nurses so i don't understand her. I just decided to ignore the argument as I know a couple of people with Band 6 from Nigeria. My friend with masters in nursing got band 6 from Nigeria in a theater. Another in respiratory unit. Plenty in community mental health, I myself inclusive

Thank you, because I don't want anyone to throw away anything I suffered to buy.

Does any Yoruba person here knows if I can get Amala flour in UK or I can bring along? Is it allowed and must I always use zip lock? Can I use transparent nylon to pack? I'm aware that milk isn't allowed and that I have to label everything.

Please bring plenty of yam flour cos I may show for your side to collect small . You can bring as much as you want however just have extra cash for extra luggage or at least let a family member follow you to the airport to return home things you won't be able to fly with eventually.
I will suggest you ask a female friend or a female family member to handle your packaging.

Help needed please.

Who has any life hack on how to arrange used clothes for shipping?
We just decluttered. Lots and lots of used clothes. Two huge Ghana must go bags. Both ours and the kids’. A lot are in pristine condition.
We thought to package and send to Naija. Relatives & relatives kids will greatly benefit (we think). We have found a shipping company I east London which can ship 1 big Ghana must go bag to Abuja for £120. We think it’s probably worth the cost.

Any suggestions or hack on how best to maximise space to fit in plenty clothes?

Any other suggestions (including any alternative known cheaper shippers) highly welcome please

Thank you for reading
