International students are invited to attend a dedicated careers session on Tuesday 14 April delivered by the Student Circus team, designed to provide practical guidance on building a successful career in the UK.

This session will offer a clear overview of how the UK job market operates, including how it differs from other countries, key recruitment timelines, and important cultural expectations.

You will also gain insight into the full job search process, from applications through to interviews, alongside an introduction to visa pathways and current hiring trends, such as the growing use of AI and skills-based recruitment.

A key focus of the session will be networking. The team will share practical strategies for building professional connections, with guidance on navigating different cultural contexts and approaches.

In addition, the session will explore how to develop your personal brand, with specific advice on using LinkedIn effectively to enhance your profile and expand your network.

The event will also feature real-life success stories from international students who have successfully entered the UK job market, offering valuable perspectives and encouragement.

There will be an opportunity to ask questions at the end of the session, allowing you to address any specific concerns or areas of interest.

This is a valuable opportunity for international students at any stage of their career planning to gain insight, confidence, and practical tools for the UK job market.
