Case study
Finally, it’s my turn to make it ashore! A sincere post.
After one year of part-time work while applying and two months of full-time job hunting, I finally secured an entry-level offer at a large UK manufacturing company. I applied to 1,200+ roles and only received around 12 interviews. The journey included attending interviews while sick, facing repeated rejection and self-doubt, but persisting with high-volume applications, flexible targeting, and zero spending on agencies. My takeaway: job hunting is a process of self-reflection and future planning. Getting an offer is not the end, but a new beginning.
