I've helped 100+ international students land UK jobs | Founder & CEO @ International Hustlers | Ex-KPMG

"My visa EXPIRES in 9 months and I’m worried. How do I land a visa-sponsored job?" Here’s 5 easy steps I teach my students: 1️⃣ Find your sweet spot → Your sweet spot is usually a role in an industry you have worked in before → Check the comments below for video training on how to find your sweet spot 2️⃣ Message international student alumni from your university → Make sure the alumni are in jobs in your field → I recommend messaging 20 alumni DAILY (or at least 100 per week). Ask them how they landed these jobs 3️⃣ Make 1 high-quality job application per day → From helping 100s of international students, I’ve seen my best students such as Aarti, Ishita and Zackary make only 1 job application per day → Check the comments below for a checklist for a high-quality application 4️⃣ Follow up for EACH job application → The key here is to follow up via email (not LinkedIn message) once every 5 days → Check the comments below for follow-up email templates which you can copy and paste 5️⃣ Follow an interview prep strategy → My best students would always prepare answers to these questions: 1) Tell me about yourself; 2) Why this role? and 3) Why this company? → Check the comments below for an interview prep document (with sample answers) Once you consistently follow EACH of the 5 steps above (at least 6 days per week) for 6 months, you will 100% land a visa-sponsored job! All links are in the comments. Repost ♻️ to help a fellow international student stay in the UK ❤️

Thank you for sharing such a clear and actionable roadmap for landing a visa-sponsored job! For international students, this process can feel overwhelming, but breaking it down into these five steps makes it much more manageable. I especially appreciate the emphasis on finding your "sweet spot" and leveraging alumni networks. Messaging alumni who’ve successfully navigated similar challenges can provide not only valuable insights but also encouragement. Consistency, as you’ve highlighted, is key—especially with high-quality applications and follow-ups. It’s also great to see a focus on interview preparation, as those core questions are often make-or-break moments in the hiring process. I’d love to hear any additional tips from others who’ve followed a similar strategy. Also, thanks for providing the resources in the comments—I’ll definitely check them out!
