We know there are lots of competing demands on international students’ time that can make your job search difficult.
The Careers Service has partnered with job portal Student Circus to help. Here’s how to make the best use of this platform, which is completely free to our students and alumni.
Quickly find pre-filtered UK sponsored jobs
Student Circus lists jobs across a range of sectors which employers are willing and able to sponsor under the Skilled Worker route. So rather than contacting HR to check if sponsorship is provided, you can focus your energy on writing high-quality applications.
The platform also advertises internships and placements with employers who may or may not sponsor their graduate roles. However, many employers use these roles to evaluate candidates for future graduate positions. If they don’t sponsor graduates, they may be less likely to hire for internships or placements. The Careers Service recommends confirming an employer’s hiring policy before applying.
