Quick guides for International students

For many international students, navigating job applications, interviews and other recruitment methods that are commonly used in the UK can feel overwhelming. The Student Futures team provides lots of support, from connecting you with part-time job opportunities through Unitemps and hosting careers fairs on campus to meet employers, to 1 to 1 meetings with careers advisers, but you might feel unsure what to expect from this or how to access this.

job-hunting and right to work checks for part-time work
understanding Student Futures support, such as 1 to 1 meetings
networking and useful questions to ask at careers fairs
recruitment methods, like do’s and don’ts for UK-style CVs, interview tips, and how to ace online tests
