The key to getting that job is to be well prepared

The key to getting that job is to be well prepared and to understand the recruitment process very well 💪

Recruitment processes can be very long:

🔹 You might have to submit your cover letter and CV.

🔹 Some companies might ask you to online tests, involving psychometric tests, numerical tests, verbal reasoning tests and also situational judgement tests.

🔹 Then, the interview stage, including the final Interview.

Thank you Sally Blyth and Pervin Shaikh for your time and advice when chatting with Ganga 🙏

We hope this will help many of you - stay tuned for the full interview as an article on OK Student blog.

One of the worst things about the pandemic for stu

One of the worst things about the pandemic for students new to the UK is that they will not be able to explore their surroundings past their front door, and maybe their kitchen. The UK has so many fantastic sites to see for an extremely affordable price.

So, let’s get right into it…

🔹 Albert Dock (Liverpool)
🔹 Affleck’s (Manchester)
🔹 City of Caves (Nottingham)
🔹 Necropolis (Glasgow)
🔹 Stonehenge (Salisbury)
🔹 Game of Thrones walking Tour (Northern Ireland)
🔹 Titanic Quarter (Belfast)
🔹 Tenby Beach Area(Wales)
🔹 The Royal Mile (Edinburgh)
🔹 Gods Own Junkyard (London)

💭 When you think about the UK, we are sure that

💭 When you think about the UK, we are sure that you think about most of the following symbols. Don't you?

🔹 First, the Royal Family 👑
Among the 28 monarchies that are still in place, the United Kingdom's one is, without any doubt, the most popular. What makes it so special?
Queen Elizabeth II has ruled for longer than any other Monarch in British history, becoming a much loved and respected figure across the globe.

🔹 Then, you probably associate the Harry Potter series with the UK🔮. Even J.K. Rowling herself stated that “they’re very British books”.
Its dominant characteristics of the public school, fantasy, and class are ones inherent to British national identity. But that's not all.
Not only the films featured an all-British cast but you can also find Harry Potter filming locations all over the United Kingdom – from the wild Scottish Highlands home of Hagrid’s Hut to the historic London market that became Diagon Alley.

🔹 The UK has always been at the top of world sport⚽️. Sport plays a prominent role in society. Popular teams sports in the UK include football, field hockey, cricket, rugby union, rugby league, and netball. Besides, the UK is home to the best university for sport in the world!

🔹 Last, UK's rainy weather and the lush green of its countryside constitute the most popular landmarks ☔️.
Rain falls throughout the year, and the weather in England can change very rapidly.
However, does it rain as much as it's thought?
The average number of days on which rain falls in London each year is less than in Paris, Santander (Spain) and Wellington (New Zealand). London is drier than Rome, New York, Rio de Janeiro, and Tokyo.

Fears about COVID-19 can take an emotional toll, especially if you’re already living with an anxiety disorder 🦠

🤯 Are my symptoms real? You might have asked yourself more than once.

➡️ A Professor in Health Psychology at the University of Surrey, Jane Ogden, explained this phenomenon. She said, “In 1982 David Mechanic described a syndrome called medical student’s disease, which illustrated how medical students often ‘caught’ the disease they were studying in class."

❗ However, it is important to self-isolate and stay at home whenever COVID-19 symptoms appear! An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

One of the biggest changes in the UK's Higher Educ

One of the biggest changes in the UK's Higher Education system is withdrawal from the Erasmus+ programme. 👋 🇪🇺

After recent negotiations between the UK and the EU regarding Brexit, the Turing scheme was set up to aid students in their ambitions to study abroad. The program is backed by £100 million and Universities are going to be able to apply for places in March 2021 for 6 weeks.
The significant benefit of this scheme is the wider reach of placements, meaning more opportunities to gain a better experience of the wider world.

🟦 Differences

🔹 While Erasmus + offers tuition waivers to its participants, the Turing Programme will have students solely relying on University agreements with the participants in regards to fees.

🔹 The Turing scheme is only going to benefit outgoing UK students, unlike the Erasmus+ programme which supported both incoming and outgoing students.

🔹 The Turing Scheme is assured to be more accessible to disadvantaged students who may not have been able to access Erasmus +.
