International students looking for work can benefit from UK visa sponsorship. Be wary of any false job postings that may circulate online.
Researching your options early and beginning to prepare for your application before it’s too late can make all the difference in standing out from competitors and leaving a good impression on recruiters. This is essential to help ensure you make an excellent first impression.
Accounting and Finance
Accounting and finance are two fields in the business world that demand a high level of skill and education. But there are distinct differences between them that you should take into account before determining which field is most suitable for you.
A degree in either of these disciplines can present you with many job prospects in the business world. You may have the choice to work for yourself, a small business, non-profit organization or even the government.
When searching for a job in the UK, it’s wise to look into positions that offer visa sponsorship. This is especially relevant if you plan on continuing your postgraduate course.
Marketing and Sales
A career in marketing necessitates knowledge and skills related to business management, product development, and customer relations. This is an exciting field where you can hone your talents.
International graduates have plenty of employment options in the UK. You can apply to work for a range of organisations, including multinationals and local businesses alike.
You can search for jobs on job websites such as LinkedIn or Indeed. However, make sure the position you apply for will allow you to obtain a visa to work in the UK.
International students seeking graduate roles that will enable them to obtain a visa should first check with the company’s HR or graduate recruitment team. You can inquire whether there are any sponsorship opportunities available and when these become available.
IT
International graduates with visa sponsorship have numerous job opportunities in the UK. Most of these roles focus on IT and software development.
IT is an exciting sector that offers a multitude of career options, from cyber security to web development and programming. IT pros can find employment in public sector, financial services and manufacturing industries alike.
Be sure to tailor your application specifically for the firm and role you are applying for, in order to stand out from competitors.
Before beginning your application for visa sponsorship, check with the firm’s HR or graduate recruitment team to see if they offer it. Once you have a definitive answer, you can move forward with confidence and prevent disappointment down the line.
Engineering
Experienced engineers or those just starting out can find employment in the UK across a range of specializations. From structural, section, mechanical and electrical engineers to highway project delivery specialists, materials managers, telecoms operators and site engineers – there’s something for everyone in this competitive field!
International graduates with a degree can come to the UK on a graduate visa. There are three types of graduate visas available and each must be endorsed by an established body (such as Royal Academy of Engineering).
Your application will be assessed by the Home Office and you must gain a certain number of ‘points’ in order for your visa application to be successful. These points are determined based on skills, experience, age and salary of job offer.
Teaching and Education
With over 450,000 teachers across primary (4-11 years), secondary (11-18) and further education (18+) in the UK, there is a vast array of jobs to choose from. Teaching in the UK could be an ideal opportunity for international teachers who wish to progress their career quickly and add valuable experience to their CV.
Your qualifications may allow you to find work teaching in both state and independent schools. Many teachers in England and Wales begin teaching primary school, which begins at age 5 and continues until 11 before students move onto secondary education.
