Getting Hired in the UK: Tech Strategy & Roadmap

Navigating the UK tech market as an international candidate can feel like solving a complex algorithm. Whether you are already in the UK or looking to move here, this session is designed to de-mystify the hiring process and give you a competitive edge.

Drawing from my experience working with major firms like CITI, Wipro and Aflac Northern Ireland, I will help you bridge the gap between your current profile and what UK hiring managers are actually looking for.

What we will cover:

The "UK-Style" Resume: How to pivot your experience (like SRE or Data Engineering) to align with UK standards and ATS requirements.

Market Positioning: How to frame your background for roles in high-demand hubs like London, Belfast, and Manchester.

The Interview Landscape: Understanding the typical UK interview loop—from the initial "screener" to the technical deep-dive and competency-based questions.

GenAI & Future-Proofing: Discussing how to highlight skills in emerging tech like Generative AI to stand out in a crowded market.

Visa & Sponsorship Context: Practical insights on navigating the sponsorship landscape and which sectors are currently most active.
