Your quick guide to begin your job search in the UK | Edulley

The UK is very small demographically, probably equal to the size of the largest Indian states. It’s obvious to understand that not everyone in the UK can get a job as it cannot accommodate all of them. There are millions of people across the world who wanted to come to the UK; if all of them get a job, then you will find no UK after a few years. We certainly need to put a cap on the immigration rules, so does the UK do. However, like any other country, the UK cannot grant any job to anybody but the gates are open for intelligent and smart working people. As 2011 British census 2.3% of the total UK population are Indians which numbers around 1,451,862 with an increase of around 0.5% from the 2001 census.

According to a report published in the Hindustan Times, Indian nationals secured almost 60% of Tier 2 skilled worker visas granted by the UK in the year ending September 2016, despite UK visa numbers falling to their lowest level since 2014. Employers need to have both a Tier 2 Sponsorship Licence and a Certificate of Sponsorship for each employee they need to employ on Tier 2 Visas. The figures were released by the UK government on 23 February.

According to the quarterly Migration Statistics report, 53,575 of the 93,244 skilled worker visa applications that were approved, went to Indians. Meanwhile, Indian and Chinese nationals accounted for the highest number of non-visitor visas granted. The report’s findings place Indians way ahead of nationals from other countries in the Tier 2 Visa UK skilled work visa category. The next largest group were US citizens, accounting for 9,348 or 10% of the total number of Tier 2 visas granted.

In the year 2016, a total of 93,244 skilled worker visas (Tier-2 visa) were granted to the foreign nationals and 53,575 of them were taken up by Indian alone – isn’t it a big number? If ten people are going to study in the UK, only 3–4 of them will be able to fetch a job; unfortunately, you will never be able to meet them. You are just going to meet the leftover who are going to dissipate the lies. Of course, you can have a more wide bandwidth to look for the employee if you are in the US or Canada but the quality of the job that you can get in the UK is certainly incomparable to any other country (exceptions are possible).

Get ready for employment in the UK

Getting jobs in the UK requires time in any field, you will have to start it as soon as you land up there. In the first place, you will have to work on your resume and industrial skill set. Do have some short courses and some certification that will enhance your skill set. Employers always lookout for someone who has more skills and knowledge compared to a university graduate. You can utilise the various online learning platforms available to add more skills and expertise in your resume that can help enhance your efficiency at work. There are hundreds of courses available for students to explore. 

 

Make a list of all the placement agencies in the UK:

Jobs – recruitment agency, UK

Antal International – Executive Recruitment | Antal

Job Search & Recruitment Agency | Michael Page

InterQuest Group | Develop tomorrow’s future, define your own…

There are hundreds of them – make sure you visit them personally and submit your portfolio or resume. Do ask them to update you if they get any vacancy for the work areas you are interested in.

Create your portal directory:

Do list down all the online portals, sign up, and store all the passwords at one place. Make sure you create a full profile and upload your updated resume. This need not be only in the UK but anywhere across the map. You can also browse on the different options they have and apply online.

Apply to the internships as well:

Also, apply for the internship, need not that you apply only for full-time jobs. An internship is the best way to enter in a company; you are most likely to be hired. It might get you less pay initially but it will award the immense knowledge and some financial benefits and long term gold coins.

Keep a healthy relationship with the support team:

Make sure you visit your placement or recruitment team time to time and update them about your academics and interest areas. You might not need them in building your resume but still, it’s good to ask for their help as it will create a longer impression.

Volunteering, Organizing, and social work:

Make sure you volunteer in the social groups and clubs. It will help you create good networking among the existing folks on the campus. Try to become a class representative or a group leader. To help the university organizing their events or be a unique performer.

Alumni data and statistics:

Forget not to ask your university about the successful Alumni. Do take their emails or linked in profiles, Facebook ids or anything else. Make sure you introduce yourself to them and keep in touch frequently – don’t be annoying ;D

Linked in Premium account:

Do subscribe for a premium Linked in account – find about the top people in your industry or the related one. Almost all the top recruiters’ HR will be available on this portal. It’s essential to reach out to them, introduce yourself, and drop a copy of your resume. Make sure that you don’t do this randomly; you should know where you are sending this, so it reaches to a specific audience.

Well, it’s obvious to use the fancy and cool language, but this will hardly help you in getting placed anywhere. Try to be as formal and pleasant as possible – it’s okay if somebody is not replying to your text; if somebody has the job vacant and not responding to your emails and calls – everything is fair in this process. Just don’t lose your calm or you lose your career.

It’s practically possible to get a job in the UK but not for everyone. Why one should not go if you can study for two years at the cost of one. No other much pre-college chores to be done – a direct entry in the most tier-2 schools.

For Indians, however, is, even more, easier than any other non-English speaking nationals – we don’t need to write IELTS to study in the UK anymore (except the top 10–15 universities). Study a program of your choice with countless specializations.

 

A Quick Parents’ Guide to Study Abroad | Edulley

A Quick Parents’ Guide to Study Abroad | Edulley

by | May 21, 2020 | Study abroad (general)

Choosing to study abroad is perhaps the boldest decision you’ll ever make for your child, and it’s not only baffling but can also be emotionally draining. Study abroad gives your child a global exposure and internationally recognized education. As a parent, it is your obligation to aid your kid to figure out the best possible place for them to study.

What you as a parent can do?

 

It’s important to understand what inspires your child – he is curious enough for the right reason or following the rate race. Make sure you actively participate in the decision-making process to help your child make the right decision.

Know your child’s inspiration: discuss the goals openly with your child to figure out the reason your child wants to move abroad – it can be personal or academic or employment goals. Make sure the goals should be a realist to not face the disappointment at every step in life and it’s important to understand your child’s goals to be able to guide them.

Know your options: Researching the possible courses in the country – and also know the procedure before start applying or choosing to go with a consultant. Find the universities offering the specific program and how a specific university can help others and understand their ranking. Maybe a specialized can be more helpful than a generalized one.

Estimate the Cost of studying: studying overseas can cost you the life-time savings – it’s utmost important that you make a wise decision and don’t put all the eggs in the same basket. Consider the living expenses along with the tuition fee and make a complete budget. Also, include the visa fee, insurance fee, and travel cost in your plan. Your child may not be able to make money as soon as he/she lands, so you make sure they have access to sufficient funding while they study internationally.

Speak to a consultant: meeting a counsellor can assist you to broaden your research and can offer tailored options as per your child’s academic and financial suitability. We offer a career-based approach to help your child a successful career. Our years of experience offers extensive benefits and exclusive support to realize your study abroad dream.

Make the flowchart: making a plan of your budget, duration, and courses would actually help you organize your ideas – the cost could vary dynamically. Pen down your plans and the special benefits a specific country offers to help you sorted quickly. Make sure you meet the deadlines at each step and keep a good time to apply for a visa.

Take feedback and watch testimonials: speaking to a few international students from the same university can be rousing – also you would get the right details about the campus, facilities, and studies. You can either approach a few people on Linked-in or we can help you get connected with the student ambassador.

Know the rules and responsibility: knowing the specific visa regulation and the cultural difference would actually help – cultural shocks and homesickness could be draining initially. Also, every country follows a specific set of rules and regulation and not abiding them could have serious repercussion. Closely monitor the weather conditions and pack your bag accordingly – the temperature difference could be terrible so make sure they are prepared for all the challenges.

Find a study buddy: finding a study buddy can help overcome the strange feeling – your child will feel safe and accompanied. You can contact the university to share the contacts of the new joiners or we can help you if you apply with us. Also, make sure you take contact details of the fellow students to know your child’s whereabouts in case he is not reachable. It’s important for your child’s safety.

Emergency contacts & health track: make sure you have all the important contacts in your phone e.g. international office, a few classmates, and maybe a few others how can help in any emergency or need. Also, if he has a history of any health issues or any other genetic disease, make sure he/she carries the prescription along with some basic medicine.

Don’t ignore the mental health: make sure you don’t ignore the slightest of the matter – maybe it’s related to money or part-time jobs, or academic fear or adaptability. Speak to your child on a daily basis and keep a check on how well they are doing academically. Make sure they don’t stress themselves for money issues or loan burden.

Food is life: remember that food is the most essential part of the journey – do teach them to self-cater if they don’t like to eat the outside food. Also, daily buying the food or eating out could be an expensive deal, so you make sure they know at least the basic cook hacks e.g. making a sandwich or fry up noodles. Also, they may not appreciate the food in the host country, so we advise they should be prepared well for the self-catering.

Top countries to study without IELTS

Writing IELTS or any similar exam could be draining – some aspirants write it dozens of times to just fail again and over again. Of course, practising helps a little but ultimately IELTS is about your English language proficiency,  and unless someone improvises the language proficiency, there is very little chance that you can get through with a needed score.

If you think IELTS is no longer a way for you – don’t worry, we have some of the amazing places you can still make a go about.

United Kingdom: the UK universities are not too fussy about IELTS and there are many universities that exempt IELTS or any other language proficiency exam. Mostly the modern universities waive off IELTS based on your intermediate school English subject marks. If you have got good marks in 12th exams, you can surely be accepted without IELTS.

France: France is well known worldwide for its business schools – most of the schools are triple accreditated and very popular on a global scale. Schools such as Skema, Kedge, and Rennes are extremely popular among international students.

Well, it’s the easiest task ever – but before you start hunting, it’s of utmost importance to do your own research. Don’t believe us or someone else blindly. All the information is right there on the internet about the standard entry requirements, pre-college exams, financials, education loan providers, insurances, and what not – or you could leave your information with us and we shall get back as soon as possible. 

We live in an era of information – there is so much information all around the world. Propaganda, business, money-making schemes, wrong and right information. It’s very important to know what it involves to become an international student. Which factors one can consider applying for universities and how to figure out the best place for yourself. Here at Edulley, you get everything right – it’s all for you. 

 

I believe it’s easy to get started – all you need to follow the simple steps to give it a go. 

 

  1. Shortlisting the country: the first and the foremost step to get started is to figure out which country you wish to go for. The one where most of the people are going or the one which is right for you. This is almost one of the most difficult phases of your journey abroad. You can look for a country based on several factors: PSW (Post-study Work permit), employment rates, PR options, business & internship opportunities, what it takes to get there.

  2. Shortlisting a course: finding the right course is also as crucial as finding the right place to study. If you land in a top university for the wrong course, you are not going to be successful. Be a bachelor’s course or a masters one, pick the one that interests you – being free from social interest. There are hundreds of specializations – if not millions- that you can opt for. A specialized course is much appreciated and of course, it grants you the unique specialized skills in a specific area.
  3. Find the right university: the next step is to find the right university out of a few hundred – the university reputation does play an important role in making your success story. Take a look at the following factors to find the right options: University location, tuition fee, facilities, the investment made in the last five years, student population, the student to faculty ratio, accreditation and awards, ranking & popularity, and employment rate.
  4. Application: now once you have a list of universities and courses you wish to apply – it’s time to apply now. You need the following documents to apply: 10th, 12th, degree, passport, resume, SOP, LOR, IELTS and some miscellaneous documents. There can be some application fees as well to apply – some are paper-based applications and some are just online forms. Keep a track of the deadlines before you apply and consider applying at least six months before the course start date.
  5. Admission letter: After submitting the application, the university would start conversing with you – they would ask if any further information is needed. Each university has a different turn around time for this – this may vary from 1 month to 3 months. You may get a revert in a week as well, in certain cases. The university will send you an email about the decision on your application – be it a rejection or acceptance.
  6. Accepting the letter: After receiving all the offers, it’s time for you to decide the one which you want to go. You either need to pay a small deposit to confirm your place or just send your preference by email sometimes. The initial deposit amount course range from $2000-$10,000 USD.
  7. VISA: It’s time for you to file the visa – visa is a legal permit to travel to a specific country. If you travel without a visa, you will be deported at the airport itself. It’s important that you apply for the visa at least 2 months before your intended course start date – sometimes, it takes more than 45 days to get you the decision on your visa application.
