If you are a citizen of the UK, Switzerland or any one of the following
European Economic Area countries, you have the right to work in the UK. But
what if you are not from these countries? Relax!! In this video, we are going to
discuss, How can you get a job in the UK. Without spending your hard-earned money.
The reasons why people prefer the UK as their dream job destination is because
of high salaries, vibrant culture, and of course job security.
To work in the UK
you need a work permit from the employer.
Let's start with step number one. Check
your occupation in NSO list. The UK government provides a National Shortage
occupation list detailing professions in high demand. If you are skilled in one of
these fields a work-based visa for the UK may be simpler to obtain. But if your
profession is not listed in this list then you can apply directly.
How you are
going to apply and what preparation is needed. We'll discuss this in the
upcoming steps.
Step number two. Prepare your CV.
If you are applying directly
first of all, prepare your CV. Your CV should be a British style resume. Mention
your academic and professional achievements in your resume. If you don't
know how to write a professional CV and a cover letter you can hire an expert
online from these websites.
Step number three.
Highlight yourself.
After
completing your CV, now it's time to highlight yourself. First of all, make a
LinkedIn profile, if you don't have one. As a student or professional LinkedIn is
a popular place to find a job opportunity.
Be comprehensive about
qualification and objectives.
Highlight your past job experience if any.
Keep
your profile up-to-date.
Research the companies you are interested in.
Follow the companies and their employees. ask their employees to refer you. There
are several other job portals like monster, reed indeed, glassdoor etc.
upload your resume and keep applying for the tier 2 sponsoring jobs.
Step Four
Applying through DWP UK.
DWP UK is the UK government's official website for the
jobseekers. All the job providers are the licensed tier to sponsor. More than 1,900
companies are registered with this portal. Moreover, you can also create your
account to get instant notifications of jobs.
Step Five
Preparing for the interview.
Your company will schedule an interview
through Skype. Depending on the job you may have one - or a series of interviews.
You'll be asked a series of questions about personal qualities needed to do
the job and to give examples of different situations you've dealt with.
You may be also asked to take psychometric or other tests so prepare
for the interview beforehand and research the employer as well.
Dress
Smartly. First impressions are very important.
Don't be afraid to ask for
clarification or ask a question during the interview.
Step Six
Getting selected.
After getting selected your employer will guide you for the
upcoming steps. You'll be provided certification of sponsorship. A
certification of sponsorship contains your private details and data about
your work. It is an electronic record not a paper record. You must use it three
months after getting it.
