This is detailed!

Another client has graduated top of her class with an LLM, secured an excellent job with one of the Big  Four (KPMG), and got visa sponsorship in the United Kingdom! She landed the role months before even graduating and is now doing amazingly well in the role ! FYI, find my name in the acknowledgement 😃. While many decide not to get help while studying while seeking a job and end up signing a 5-year care job contract to get sponsorship in the UK (a career-killing move), she got the career strategies right from the get-go, and here is the result 🙏🏿. The Bible says where there is a casting down for others, there shall be lifting up for you. Now, what strategies are you applying to get your lift up? Who is supporting you? Who is coaching you? Who is guiding you? Who is planning your career moves with you every step of the way? After making an expensive investment in your education, without the right strategies, you may still not get it right. Getting career strategy help should go side-by-side with your education or any academic pursuit you embark on. You can’t pay such money and work this hard without having the right strategies or the right career coach or mentor to help you plan. I am thankful for all my clients and mentees who also publicly share their success stories and include where they got help and support from. My life goal is simple: Africans are thriving everywhere they go! I’m glad we are making this happen one life and one career at a time across the world. To my name sake, My Darling Deborah, you are born to lead (you are a Deborah); congratulations 🎊🎉. You are in the UK to fulfill your destiny, and the Lord has taken the land for you have just started with you. Go and win even more and know that I gat you! I am looking for the next Deborah who wants to win in their careers, who is graduating and needs a visa sponsorship job, and who wants to get paid what they deserve while doing a job they love. If you are the one, get in the DM and let’s make magic with your career. Let’s make your educational investment worth it 👏🏾.

My UK visa is about to expire in 6 months and I’ve just landed my dream visa sponsored UK job 😮💨. These are the 3 steps I took: 1️⃣Identified my sweet spot I did this through a Plum Discovery survey AND Farhoon’s 90 Day UK Job Blueprint. This revealed my strength in Client Facing roles where leadership, collaboration and motivation were key. 2️⃣Attending networking events I attended ONE networking I found on Eventbrite EVERY week, where I prepared questions to ask industry leaders and professionals have to say. My goal was simple - to connect with FIVE people per event and ensure I left a LASTING impression by adding value to people’s life. I leave a lasting impression by always trying to help people with their struggles in life. An example of this is when I met a manager at a Bank who mentioned to me they are struggling with productivity, I shared  my productivity hacks (such as time blocking tasks on my calendar, putting my phone on silent and daily to-do lists). 1 hour after the event would end, I would follow up with a Linkedin connection request with a brief message to thank them for their insights and how I enjoyed getting to know them. 3️⃣Mastered the art of Cold Calling I learnt this from Farhoon Asim in his FREE community. I cold called 50 companies per day and ALWAYS made sure I left the call with an email or LinkedIn profile I could reach out to. When cold calling, I always had a short (30 second) intro of myself and highlighted three reasons that set me apart from competition for the role. ———————————————————————— If you want to view my winning interview prep document that I used to land a VISA sponsored UK job in 21 days, dm me “PREP” and I’ll send it over.

🌟 Navigating the Job Market as an International Graduate in the UK 🌟 As an international graduate with a Master's in Environmental Management, I've experienced firsthand the challenges of securing job offers from companies that offer sponsorships here in the UK. 🎓🇬🇧 The journey is far from easy, especially with recent changes in Home Office rules making the process even more complex. Here are a few key hurdles we often face: Limited Opportunities: Many companies have tightened their policies on hiring international candidates due to stricter sponsorship requirements. This has significantly reduced the number of potential employers open to sponsoring graduates. High Competition: With a smaller pool of sponsorship-friendly employers, the competition among international graduates is intense. We are competing not only with local talent but also with fellow internationals who are equally qualified and eager. Complex Visa Processes: The process of securing a visa has become more daunting and time-consuming with the new rules. Companies often prefer candidates who do not require sponsorship due to the additional paperwork and legal requirements. Lack of Awareness: Some employers are still not fully informed about the benefits and procedures involved in hiring international graduates. This lack of understanding can lead to missed opportunities for both the graduate and the employer. Economic Uncertainty: In uncertain economic times, companies may be more hesitant to invest in sponsorships, prioritizing immediate, cost-effective hires instead. Despite these challenges, it’s crucial to stay persistent and proactive: Networking: Engage in industry events, connect with professionals on LinkedIn, and join relevant groups. Building relationships can uncover hidden opportunities. Tailored Applications: Customize your CV and cover letter for each job application, emphasizing your unique skills and the value you bring to the company. Utilize University Resources: Take advantage of career services, alumni networks, and job fairs offered by your university. They can provide guidance and connections that are invaluable. Stay Informed: Keep abreast of visa regulations and seek advice from immigration experts to understand your options and responsibilities. To all international graduates facing similar challenges, know that you are not alone in this journey. With resilience and a strategic approach, we can navigate these obstacles and find the right opportunities in the UK job market. 🌍💼 Have you encountered similar challenges in your job search? Let’s share our experiences and support each other in overcoming these hurdles. #InternationalGraduates #JobSearch #Sponsorship #UKJobs #CareerAdvice #Networking #HomeOffice #VisaRules #EnvironmentalManagement #Graduates #JobHunt

Job hunting as an international student in the UK is SO DIFFICULT. When we apply for jobs whilst at university… .. UK employers can’t hire us as we’re still on a student visa… And then we finally graduate, and apply for jobs whilst on the graduate visa.. .. UK employers can’t hire us because our graduate visa expires and we “need visa sponsorship in the future”. This means we don't even land an interview for 99% of the jobs we apply for… And it’s frustrating as we’ve spent £50-100k in ONE year in this country.. We don’t ask for much.. all we want is for UK employers to NOT let our visa status define our talent. We want UK employers to see us beyond our visa status, and instead, see our work ethic. Since we have a 2-year time crunch due to the graduate visa, I promise we will: → Value ANY opportunity we get → Work hard 7 days a week to prove our worth All we want is ONE chance. Our visas may expire. But I promise you, our talent won't. If you're an international student reading this, please comment "CHANCE" so 1000s of UK employers see this and give us ONE chance 🎯 ——————----------------——————————————— PS. This morning I announced 5 scholarships for the “Visa Sponsored UK Job Accelerator”, where I’ll OPTIMISE your CV and LinkedIn, so you can land visa-sponsored UK jobs at top companies like Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, Deloitte and Jane Street. If you’d like to apply, DM me “Accelerator” and I’ll send you the next steps (we have only opened up 5 spots which will go by the end of the week) 🚀

🌟 Job Search Tip for International Students 🌟 Hello LinkedIn community! I wanted to share a valuable tip that greatly improved my job search experience as an international student after completing my master's. Like many of you, I used to apply to hundreds of jobs daily but was often met with instant rejections. A primary reason for these rejections was the lack of visa sponsorship for international students. I realized that applying to 100 companies was inefficient, especially when only 5-10 of them actually sponsored visas. Then, I had an idea that changed everything. I approached my university's careers department and requested a list of companies where previous year's students from my branch worked on F1 OPT/CPT. These companies typically offer visa sponsorship since they have accepted F1 OPT/CPT students in the past. Armed with this list, I focused my applications on these companies. The results were immediate and incredible! I started receiving multiple interview calls, and my application process became much more efficient and targeted. This is how I landed an internship and later converted it into Full-time. So, to all the international graduates out there looking for a job, I highly recommend requesting your university for a list of companies that have hired students on F1 OPT/CPT. Share this list with friends from different universities to expand your network and increase your chances of success. Best of luck to everyone in their job search! 🌍✈️ #JobSearch #InternationalStudents #VisaSponsorship #MastersDegree #CareerTips #F1Visa #H1BVisa #OPTCPT #Networking #UniversitySupport
