Since you are new, Amazon Manchester is Recruiting through Adecco. £11.70 per hour night shift. £9.20 day shift. 10 hours per shift and 4 days a week. Packing, picking and stowing. Depending the one u want. U dont need any experience. JanegirlN: |

Realgeo: I wonder if this would involve heavy lifting and then becomes too strenuous since its Amazon or if it's quite ok and doable |

STENON: Thank you! Will think about it. |

It's better than care. Though it will be a little bit challenging in the Beginning but it's better than not doing anything. No lifting what so ever. LagosismyHome: 1 Like |

Realgeo: Amazon, no lifting ke!. What role in Amazon are you referring to?!! If it is in their warehouse expect to be on your feet throughout the shift picking and sorting parcels, different sizes info different bags on shelves and into cages. |

deept: Amazon has far more than that, just try and get blue batch first then opportunities are there for all sorts of job types. |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Realgeo(m): 11:30am On Nov 18, 2019 |
There are so many opportunities in Amazon at the moment. From team lead to shift managers , Internet technology, Engineering and so on. It depends on the level you entered. I recommended picking and packing cause she needs something to do that will be bringing income immediately rather than staying at home without nothing as she is still new in the country..again, when you have a blue badge in Amazon, after one year, They will pay for 95% of your tuition fee for a selected course ranging from health care to it, businesses management and human resources. deept: 6 Likes |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by justwise(m): 11:47am On Nov 18, 2019 |
Realgeo: Which is about £2,000 and you probably going to work part time if the course is full time course. A friend is doing that now. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Realgeo: I know, I literarily just quit as blue badge from Amazon early this month. For the picking and packing role you recommended, there will be lifting. 1 Like |

Irenenwaka: I paid for a Police ACRO certificate when I applied for Thailand visa earlier this year. https://www.acro.police.uk/police_certificates.aspx It shows you a summary of convictions and reprimands or warnings or impending prosecutions for yourself. I think it took about 2 weeks from making the payment to getting the documents by post. 1 Like 2 Shares |

Irenenwaka: Two methods: Method 1: 1. Go to Nigeria High Commision in London. Pay some stupidly crazy money. Get a ‘letter of Introduction’ to Scotland Yard. 2. Book a biometric test appointment with Scotland Yard (my previous experience, they gave me a 2.5 month appointment). 3. Attend your appointment. Biometrics are taken by Scotland Yard, who now give you to take to Nigeria police at Alagbon, Ikoyi 4. Bla Bla Bla.... Method 2: Oyinbo fit dey follow this thread. I no fit shout. |

love2born: Hgh interest rate and UK banks do not exist in the same sentence. If you have a lump sum and want to invest for a few years, it's best to invest in shares for dividend and capital growth. There are a few shares with an annual yield of 6% at the moment and possible capital growth of 50%-60% within the next 3-4 years. I'm currently fully invested in Petrofac (PFC) and it's currently at the cheapest entry price at the moment. I get dividend twice yearly and I fully expect capital growth of at least 50% within the next 3 years. Caveat Emptor though, the reason it's cheap now is because they are currently under investigation by the SFO for soliciting for oil contracts via bribery. The investigation will soon be concluded and they will be fined heavily, about a billion pounds fine. The share price will then shoot up as business confidence rises. However, there are many other good shares that you can put in minimum of £20,000 and get a good 6% annual dividend yield cash money for doing nothing. Do some research on it. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

claremont:Thank you for this. Aside Petrofac, please can you mention any other one? For Petrofac, I believe the price will crash if found guilty by SFO before it appreciates. I have been waiting for the investigation to be completed. People lost money when the news broke and the price hasn't recovered since. |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by claremont(m): 4:30pm On Nov 20, 2019 |
dustydee: The SFO fine has already been factored into the present share price. This is a company that was trading at circa 1000p before the SFO, it's now at circa 400p whilst maintaining a healthy biannual dividend. There are other funds that I used to be invested in, but no longer in them now. There was one that paid a fixed £100/month for a £20,000 investment. However, no capital growth though. What you get paid monthly is all you will ever expect to get regardless of how long you leave money with them. £100 for £20,000, £200 for £40,000 etc. |
