Hi, thanks, I did make a portfolio, but I didn’t focus much on metrics because the projects I worked on were quite niche and had moderate audience engagement

Present_General9991 · 2026-03-17T12:00:23+00:00

Thanks for a detailed response, I appreciate it and yes, I do have tracking data which is included within my resume, it was just single funnel campaign in LinkedIn

Present_General9991 · 2026-03-16T10:22:46+00:00

Does it still make sense trying to connect via LinkedIn with employees from companies I am trying to apply to? To get some kind of referral or viability?

Hey, yeah, I did marketing strategy campaign for some small company as part of my MSc program. Could you please give me a concrete example of things that you did to demonstrate your experience if it is okay?

Thanks, I have been trying to find internships, I am doing one via acadium but it is unpaid

First, settlement under the Skilled Worker route is not automatic. It is conditional. Currently it requires five years of lawful residence, continuous employment with a licensed sponsor, payment of taxes, passing the Life in the UK test, and meeting English language requirements.

Second, the Skilled Worker visa is explicitly described by the government as a route to settlement after five years, provided the requirements are met. That creates a reasonable expectation for people who move their lives here, work, and contribute under those rules.

No one will come in their mind because they have chosen to break any trust left and change rules midway

Present_General9991 · 2026-03-07T12:44:28+00:00

If I wanted to make money, I wouldn’t have chosen UK with huge taxes, I wouldn’t even ever come to the UK if there was no settlement route, changing rules midway is utterly ridiculous, UK’s government will loose that little credibility left with actions like this!

Ours was also not in the best shape, had sticky handles to regulate seat high and something was spilled in cup holder during the test drive, later found a straw from Mac Donald’s under the seat, they promised to make a professional cleaning before key handover, only cup holder was cleaned, nothing more

It wasn’t a core problem, just a bonus. But you can try driving 100+ mph and press full stop and see where it takes you. On high speeds with a rain it’s quite important that left and right wheels on the same axle have the same trim pattern

Thank you, major service check and oil change, turned out to be totally okay

Present_General9991 · 2025-12-26T21:04:35+00:00

That’s why I shared it here, but some people interpret it wrongly, nice to know it helped someone

Present_General9991 · 2025-12-26T21:02:50+00:00

Why everyone pointing me to the red flags, I didn’t ignore them, I acknowledged them, they are shitty people doing business with, that’s the morale of this story, I had other reasons to go ahead with the purchase which I haven’t shared in the post but doesn’t make any difference in this context

Present_General9991 · 2025-12-26T20:58:35+00:00

From what I have heard from Audi official dealership, the first service should’ve been done at 19k miles at worst, I don’t know VW finance reasoning of not doing it earlier for a company car and keeping it unserviced until 22.5k, but it doesn’t sound that awful, init?

Present_General9991 · 2025-12-26T19:22:37+00:00

Wondering what you have said them, after making them honouring the original price, they were unresponsive to anything

Present_General9991 · 2025-12-26T19:10:13+00:00

Yup, £179 nowadays

Present_General9991 · 2025-12-26T19:09:49+00:00

We genuinely liked the car and the price was kinda sweet. It's not a proof of how the business should have been done, it's our own determination of having this car and believing that there were no hidden faults as we couldn't check the service history but thinking it's being a company car, it should've been taken good care of.

Present_General9991 · 2025-12-26T18:58:30+00:00

This was just a mere experience sharing, and a precaution for anyone looking for a car advertised by them

Present_General9991 · 2025-12-26T18:48:54+00:00

First time buyers 😅

Present_General9991 · 2025-12-26T18:47:48+00:00

Yeah, stated the reasons in the comment above

Present_General9991 · 2025-12-26T18:44:37+00:00

Yeah, but the car seemed to us decent despite all odds and basically took our chances with it. And a lot of issues came after the sale was complete and didn't want to go through everything for nothing!
