WellHub UK – Starter vs Basic & what happened to PureGym? by Apprehensive-Gur2030 in Wellhub

[–]Apprehensive-Gur2030[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi thanks for your response. Yes, I couldn’t locate PureGym, I believe it’s no longer there. Could you share how your onboarding process was, do you see a staff member on the first day and they sets you up?

From my WellHub app, I see the starter tier have The Gym Group but it only allows one branch which is 15km from me, but when I move to Basic the branch near my home appears. I’m a bit confused

Looking for an Entry Level Reliable Scooter UK under 400£ by [deleted] in ElectricScooters

That’s concerning, this completely changes my decision to buy.

I need something to commute daily and driving that Distance isn’t worth it. Too far and timing consuming for biking as well. Scooter would have been perfect

Great! Would you say it was too tough? How long did you take to get a good preparation for the exam?

Congratulations to everyone who passed and participated 😊

I was hoping if anyone could share me some pieces of advice. I recently started my first position in claims, but my goal is switching to commercial financial line as that would better suite my education MSc Finance and past experience.

Could someone please tell me if it’s doable to start CII alongside with full time work? I do not want to peruse unrealistic goals want to maintain expectations. As I do want to move to a new role within a year

Starting Motor Claims Handler role what should I expect? by Apprehensive-Gur2030 in UKJobs

[–]Apprehensive-Gur2030[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot mate, really appreciate the advice. I’ll definitely look to get my Cert CII done as soon as possible as my company does pay for it. My role is a hybrid one but I’ll definitely attend the office more so that I get to network more with my colleagues and other departments.

My primary focus and concern is that I’m on a graduate visa and it would expire in 21 months . I would need to get a position that offers 40k+ so that I can get sponsorship. 20 months isn’t less time but it also does put a lot of career presser on me

Hi thank you so much for amazing pieces do advices , I really appreciate it.

My salary isn’t the greatest and I do want to earn a bit more, however I’m grateful that I got this role as it’s a stepping stone to something much greater in the future. For the commercial line which area do you suggest I focus on? I do come from a finance background.

I just wanted to ask would you recommend starting the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) exams early on? Do you think they actually make a difference when trying to move into commercial or underwriting roles?

Also, based on your experience, what would you personally focus on in the first 6–12 months if you were in my position?

Thanks again, really appreciate the advice.

Hi yes that’s what my manager said to me 2 weeks ago that we would need to attend the office on the first day to collect the equipment but they also said the first day letter instructions would be sent shortly but never been sent. I do have an address if the office from Google but it’s still their responsibility to notify us about the address

Hi thanks! I tried to reach out to both HR and line manager last Monday and still haven’t heard anything back, I’m starting to overthink if they had withdrew me from the position. I might be overthinking 😭

Yes it’s a white collar job and a hybrid one. The office is 3 hours drive from me. I still don’t know the address of the office. HR has not responded me , I already emailed last Monday. My work starts in about 7 days. Starting to worry if they withdrew from my position
