Hello! I’m Neharika Joshi – Machine Learning Engineer at ARC Building Solutions, KTP Associate at Leeds Beckett University, data engineer, code crafter, and your friendly neighborhood data detective here to help you tackle the wild world of job hunting! 🕵️‍♀️🔍 After earning a Master’s in Data Science from the University of Greenwich and a Bachelor’s in Computer Engineering from Nepal Engineering College (plus three solid years as a Software Engineer in Nepal before I even landed in the UK!), I thought landing my dream job would be a walk in the park. Spoiler alert: it was more like hiking up Everest…in flip-flops, while juggling fire! 🏔️👡🔥 Navigating the job market as an international student? Talk about an adventure. I’ve been through the application grind, learned from countless interviews, and figured out what works (and what doesn’t) to break into the industry. Now, as a Machine Learning Engineer at ARC Building Solutions and a KTP Associate at Leeds Beckett University (which is a super cool Knowledge Transfer Partnership, partially funded by the UK government's UKRI, so I'm basically helping bridge academia and cutting-edge industry!), I’m on the other side. I'm here to share everything I’ve learned and am still learning to help you land that role. Why connect with me? I know what it’s like to search for jobs in a competitive market with visa requirements looming overhead. That’s why I offer my mentoring sessions at a much lower rate than many other mentors – because I know every penny counts when you’re on this journey. My goal? To share actionable tips, make data work for you, and show you how to turn your skills into an irresistible package for hiring managers. If you’re looking for practical advice, honest feedback, and maybe a laugh or two along the way (data puns included, always), I’m here for it! And, if you’re wondering about the secret to job-hunting success…well, let’s just say it’s equal parts persistence, preparation, and maybe a little luck – like finding WiFi in the basement during a blackout! 😆📶
