2. RE-SCHEDULE OR EXTENSION OF JOINING DATE.


Job applicants MUST meet and submit all Visa requirements to the British Immigration Service before any request for re-schedule or extension of joining date can be granted. Applicants MUST note that we will never grant such requests unless all Visa formalities MUST have been met. Applicants who do not require Visa to enter the U.K MUST submit their Flight ticket fees to the British Immigration Service for the booking and purchase of their flight from London city. Applicants are to note that meeting all Visa requirements of the British Immigration Service guarantees Virgin Atlantic Airways of applicant's seriousness and commitment to work for us.


3. APPLYING DIRECTLY TO THE U.K EMBASSIES WORLD-WIDE It has come to our notice that most applicants prefer to apply directly to the U.K Embassies in their various locations and when they make applications, their Visas are usually denied especially Job applicants from Africa, Asia and the Middle East. When such visa applications are denied, it takes approximately 90 days to re-apply or make a second application and during this time, the Company will not be patient or wait for such an applicant, we usually revoke their offers immediately and recruit some other applicants. Hence, to ensure that you pass through a hassle free Visa application process to the U.K, We have affiliated with the Local Immigration & Visa office here in London , the British Immigration Service. They will assist you with the Visa application, processing of U.K Work permit and other relevant Insurance and Travel packages that will be required for your legal entry into the United Kingdom . Making an application with the ALI CHAMBERS guarantees your Visa approval and in a lesser time as compared with applications made directly to the U.K Embassies. Once they get all your necessary papers processed, they will fax copies of the same to the U.K Embassy in applicants Country of location and such an applicant will be prompted on when to visit the embassy with his/ her passport for the Visa stamp. This is the easiest process for International employees to meet up with Migration Formalities and join us as soon as possible.


4. IMMIGRATION EXPENSES, FLIGHT TICKETS & OTHER EXPENSES Job applicants MUST bear costs for their Immigration expenses and submit receipts of payment(s) for the purpose of reimbursement. For no reason should Job applicants request that we shoulder such costs as such requests will certainly be turned down. This is sequel to our past experiences we had with some Job applicants from Africa, Asia and the Middle East where BUREGER KING UK shouldered all their Immigration expenses, paid them their Upfront Salaries and till this time, None of these applicants showed up. The contact numbers and emails they submitted are out of use at this time, we are currently battling this case with their various embassies in London and the case is on hearing at the London City Crown Court . For this reason, the Management Board revised her International Recruitment Policies which entails that all Job applicants MUST bear all travel costs and on arrival to London , present receipts of payments made and will be reimbursed accordingly. Any applicant who finds this unbearable should forfeit this opportunity immediately.


5. RE-IMBURSEMENT OF IMMIGRATION EXPENSES, HEALTH CHECKUP & OTHER EXPENSES All expenses made by Job applicants will be fully reimbursed on arrival to London or if applicants meet all Immigration requirements, we will send the Salary & Reimbursement application Forms for applicants to complete and return to our Accounts department for approval.

WARNING for Job Applicants Abroad (UK)

UK JOBS AND LOTTERY FRAUDS (January 2009)

If the offer sounds too good to be true…beware. It could be a scam.

A number of people have reported to us that they are being cheated with job offers and lotteries that do not exist. Stop and think before you part with your money, your passport, your personal details or your current job.

Many scams may appear to come from the UK, but the criminals behind the scam are actually based in other countries.

It is likely to be a scam if:

· You receive an offer of a job about which you have no prior knowledge
· You receive an offer by email
· You are asked for your bank account details by email or phone
· You are offered cash in exchange for bank account details
· You are told you have won a lottery, but you have not bought a ticket.

If you receive a scam email:

· Do not pay any money
· Do not have any further contact with the originators of the email - these people are professional criminals and their aim is to exploit you and take your money and/or your personal details.

If you have been cheated because of a job or lottery scam:

· Report it to the local police authorities.

This is an international crime - investigations must be taken forward by the local police, CID and Interpol. The British Embassy has no jurisdiction to investigate or take out criminal prosecutions.

How to find out if a UK company is genuine:

Some job scams can be very clever. Check the company's details very carefully.

Genuine UK company websites may be provided, but the contact email addresses may be false. A genuine company name may be given, but the address will be wrong. For example: genuine website - http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/. False contact details - ukvisas@hotmail.co.uk

· Genuine UK companies are officially registered and can be checked by logging on to http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/
· Phone the company in the UK if you are approached about a UK job
· Genuine UK companies do not give a mobile number for contact details. Request a landline number
· UK company addresses can be checked by logging on to: http://www.upmystreet.com.uk/
· Most genuine UK companies do not use a hotmail or yahoo type email account.

Job offers from the UK Government:

· The UK Government, including UK Trade and Investment, does not send unsolicited emails with job offers - either direct or through agents. Government vacancies are advertised on official websites in the UK: http://www.careers-civilservice.gov.uk/ .

· Some job scams falsely use the names and job titles of genuine Embassy staff. A genuine email from an official member of staff will always be sent from our official email address - @fco.gov.uk. It will never be sent from a hotmail or yahoo type email account.

Research UK jobs and terms and conditions of employment:

Think about:

· The credibility of the job offer you have received.
Are the salary and benefits offered realistic? For example, for jobs in the hospitality sector, a monthly salary of £4,000 plus benefits of free car, free health insurance, free accommodation, free flights for you and your family, plus generous leave entitlements etc are simply not credible.
· The recruitment procedure.
Genuine UK companies normally have a rigorous recruitment procedure, including a face-to-face interview. They would not usually offer a job by email;
· How you were contacted by the UK company.
For example, if you met an employee in an internet chat room who then made you a job offer, this is very likely to be a scam.

Visa fees:

· Current visa fees are published on our Visa Application Centre website (please insert)
· Visa application forms are free of charge. Information and guidance on application procedures are published on (insert VAC website), http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/ and http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/
· British Embassy staff do not ask you for payment of fees directly. Visa fees are paid at VFS visa application centres where all applications are made. There are no "additional visa fees"
· The UK Government does not provide or charge for "additional services" such as travel insurance, health screening checks, police checks, security checks etc.

Lottery scams:

· All genuine UK lotteries are registered and have websites
· If you did not buy a ticket, you cannot win a lottery
· UK lotteries do not email winners or refer to amounts won
· Further advice on lottery-related frauds is available from the Gambling Commission: log on to http://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/.

I missed the Philippines


I really missed the Philippines. There are no days that i am thinking about things in the Philippines. Not only because of my family but because of everything we have in there.

We may not be a rich country, we may not have a beautiful buildings, we may not have famous people...but still I miss it.

What can I do? I need to work.. I need to work far from my homeland. I just need to work in a country where things are different from what we have in the Philippines.

The GOOD Life

Good life for me is happy living. Everybody wants to live with the good life. Some people they measure it by money,luxuries some people living good just by having their family or their love ones, and some people are just going with the flow of their life and let others to manage it.

Good Life.. wala naman gusto ko lang ng magandang buhay..
Hindi naman kinakailangan na mayaman ka para masabing maganda ang iyong buhay. Minsan sapat na yon kuntento ka sa mga bagay na mayron ka, andyan yon mga kaibigan at mga mahal mo sa buhay na nagpapapasaya at gumagabay sa pang araw araw na buhay mo.


Ang problema naman kase madalas tayo na din ang gumagawa or kusa tayong pumapasok sa mga bagay na alam natin na magiging sanhi ng isang problema. Kaya nga dapat din nating pag isipan yon mga disisyon natin sa buhay.

Lumagay lang tayo sa tama para magkaproblema man wala sa atin ang sisi.
