Disclaimer: This session is built from real outcomes, not read or recycled advice.


I’ve studied in the UK, entered the job market as an international student, and navigated sponsorship-led hiring in one of the most competitive markets. I’ve worked in business and marketing roles within different industries, been promoted multiple times, landed sponsored roles, and earned high-paying salaries as an international hire.


I’ve also interviewed across the spectrum, from multinationals like Google, Wise, and Adobe to fast-growing startups. So I understand what actually changes between these hiring processes and what doesn’t.


This mentorship call is about turning that experience into a clear, executable job strategy for you.


Who this is for

  1. International students in the UK targeting business, marketing, finance, product, strategy, consulting, or generalist roles
  2. Those facing repeated rejections despite 'doing everything right'
  3. Students anxious about visa timelines and sponsorship
  4. Anyone tired of generic advice that doesn’t work for international students in the UK market


What we’ll do (very practically):

  1. Break down how UK hiring really works for business roles (What recruiters screen for, how shortlists are made, and where internationals go wrong)
  2. Identify skill and positioning gaps specific to business careers
  3. Build a UK-specific application & networking strategy
  4. Reposition you beyond “international student” (So you’re seen as a business asset, not a visa risk)
  5. Create a sponsorship-aware role targeting plan


What you’ll leave with

  1. A clear job search plan
  2. A sharper understanding of how to talk about your experience
  3. Immediate next steps you can execute the same week
  4. More confidence and less guesswork in every application
