HOW TO MIGRATE TO U.K AND WORK AS AN EXPERT
Are you thinking of relocating to the U.K anytime soon? Or you are preparing to move already?For over a period of time I have discovered that a major reason why people (especially those from developing countries) relocate to the UK and other more civilized countries is in search of green pleasures, better standard of living and an overall better life.
Now listen, as good as that decision might look, if you don’t take your time to sit, think it through well, count the cost, ensure you are wholistically ready for it, do a cross examination to check if your present self, skills and qualifications are capable enough to fit into what the labour market demands over there, if you don’t do any of these, I can assure you that your decision to migrate will most likely end in premium tears. Yes! you heard me right.
Your quest to work professionally as an expert in the U.K shouldn’t start after you have landed in the U.K already, it should start before you leave your home country.
