21 Fall PSW | Two years of job hunting, switched to coding, successfully secured a work visa.

The author reflects on a two-year job search journey after graduation, eventually switching to tech and securing a visa-sponsored role. Initially stressed by visa pressure and peer comparison, they later realized life isn’t measured by a single standard and chose to follow personal interests, which led to improvement. They view rejections and failed interviews as part of growth, emphasizing that hiring is about fit rather than pure ability. The author also advises not to fixate on big-company grad schemes, to seek advice from others while making independent decisions, and to treat every application as progress. The key message: with clear goals, the right strategy, and consistent effort, achieving one’s aspirations is possible.

Finally landed a job in the UK after 3 months of job hunting!!

Over the past three months, I applied for 160+ jobs and attended around 30 phone and in-person interviews. By improving my CV strategy — from using one generic CV to tailoring by industry, and finally customizing a new CV for each role — I gained more interview opportunities. Still, the job search was long and exhausting, with forms, tests, frequent interviews, and travel, often without feedback. I felt overwhelmed at times but kept going. Now it’s a new beginning, and I hope all job seekers achieve the results they want.

Experience Sharing | Five Practical Tips for Job Hunting in the UK

This article shares five practical tips for job hunting in the UK: 1️⃣ Know the hiring seasons: Peak times for internships and office roles are Sept–Dec and before Easter; service jobs peak in Sept–Nov and Apr–Jun. 2️⃣ Use multiple job platforms: Such as Indeed, LinkedIn, and Glassdoor—each has different strengths. 3️⃣ Prepare proper documents: UK applications usually require only a CV and Cover Letter. CVs should be achievement-focused and without photos; cover letters must be tailored. 4️⃣ Understand the process: Hiring often involves multiple stages like CV screening, online tests, interviews, and assessment centres. 5️⃣ Be well prepared: Practice self-introductions, research companies, stay reachable, and keep a positive mindset.

Interview SOP from Someone Who Successfully Switched Careers 3 Times in 4 Years in the UK

This interview SOP is built around the 3 Whys (Why this company / Why you / Why this role) to structure your preparation: Why this company: Study the company’s culture and behaviours on their website, summarize what they do in one sentence, and show alignment through your past experiences, work style, and values (e.g., diversity).

Job hunting in the UK | An introvert surviving (and winning at) a career fair

As an introvert, I used to see career fairs as a space for extroverts. With my mentor’s advice, I shifted my approach: instead of generally asking about jobs, I focused on fit, prepared my experiences and questions in advance, and always added a follow-up via LinkedIn. Setting a small goal of five meaningful conversations helped me relax and led to real CV requests. I realized introverts aren’t bad at networking — we just do better with purpose and preparation. With the right strategy, career fairs can lead to interviews.

The author moved to the UK on an HPI visa and had 3 years of branding experience in the medical device industry but wanted to switch industries into marketing.

Apple MKT interview difficulty is truly something to behold.

Apple’s marketing interviews focus on open-ended questions with no standard answers, aiming to evaluate product understanding, user insight, and business thinking. Structured frameworks can help organize responses: User–Scenario–Need–Solution: start from the user, context, and core need before proposing solutions; AARRR model: plan growth strategies across Acquisition, Activation, Retention, Revenue, and Referral; SWOT analysis: assess competitive strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. However, frameworks are only tools—the key is to show clear logic, empathy for users, and a constant focus on creating user value.
