GradLink has an extensive network of international graduates, including graduates from India, who have studied in the UK and are now in graduate employment. This section includes a number of unique case study examples of these. Graduates speak about how their UK education has helped them to get into their work, and what strategies they have used for reaching employers and showing they are the right candidate. We are very grateful for their invaluable input.
Don’t be to worried about which job you land first. I started off as a billing analyst before my current role. The key for me was to learn as many skills as possible and then leverage those skills to progress to a better role.
Focus on gaining practical experience through internships or part-time jobs related to your field.
Networking is key! LinkedIn is a very good tool for building a good network in our sector. Research as much as you can, and then reach out to anyone who may be able to help you.
