Is locust beans allowed in luggage? What of palm oil. Is it true that palm oil they sell in UK is bad? |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by babajeje123(m): 2:35pm On Jul 12 |
rock86: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 ? |

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. lavida001: 2 Likes |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by erico2k2(m): 4:12pm On Jul 12 |
lavida001:I understand. There is loads involved in UK experience |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by erico2k2(m): 4:14pm On Jul 12 |
bigtt76: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. |

erico2k2: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? |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by erico2k2(m): 7:14pm On Jul 12 |
rock86: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. |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by iyatrustee(f): 7:22pm On Jul 12 |
erico2k2: Codeine is now classified a Class B controlled drug in the UK. |

lavida001: 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. 3 Likes |

erico2k2:thanks 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. |

lavida001: 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 12 Likes 6 Shares |

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? erico2k2: 1 Like |

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: |

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. |

bigtt76: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 |

missjekyll: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. |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by babajeje123(m): 9:22am On Jul 13 |
rock86: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 |
