GET HIRED IN THE UK:

CHECKLIST
Hello everyone!

I am Valeria, a career consultant for

international students in the UK.

When I graduated in 2014, I was an

international student, exhausted by the
job search and trying to figure out my visa
options to remain in the UK after my
studies.

I was getting rejection after rejection, lost in how to start my career. It

took a lot of time and energy, and there was no Graduate Visa option...
but I finally figured it out. I got interviews, an internship, a job offer, and
a visa sponsorship!

Securing a full-time position in the UK with visa sponsorship is possible,

even if you have little or no work experience. I have done it, and so did
my multiple clients. And that is why I share my strategy to land you
that dream job through my free and paid resources.

I hope you will find my Checklist on getting hired in the UK valuable!
