Job searching on a visa? Don’t do it alone. Tracy didn’t just apply for jobs, she leveraged every resource available, built a strong support system, and made sure she wasn’t just surviving, but thriving.

Two job applications. One offer. A visa sponsorship from a company that had never sponsored before. Sounds unreal? That’s exactly what Kira achieved.

Sophia Greenblat-Tal had built a career in public affairs—an industry where sponsorship is almost unheard of. And in the middle of her visa renewal process, she lost her job.

Starting as an Account Executive with a Media Studies degree, Nhu Ngo used her graduate visa time to gain valuable experience before landing her current role as an Account Manager—this time with sponsorship. Initially, her employer refused to sponsor her but changed their mind after she wowed them in the first interview.

Khai studied Media and Communications at a non-target university, couldn’t afford a graduate visa, and even had to return to Vietnam for a year during the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite these challenges, he managed to secure multiple job offers in both the UK and Vietnam.

Simge Temel moved to the UK from Turkey for her master’s when the graduate visa was removed. Despite never having no prior UK work experience, she secured a sponsored job right after graduation.

An Nguyễn, an international student with a Psychology degree from the University of Manchester, had 2 jobs before finally landing a sponsored role at a VC as an Investor Relations Analyst
