Do recruiters give students who have graduate visa a chance?

Abhishek

Hi there, I came to UK as an international student to pursue my MSc in Human Resource Management and after. year of hardwork and sacrifices I graduated with merit and I upgraded my student visa to Graduate visa. Now when I am applying for HR jobs I am facing a huge issue....half of the platforms such as workday doesn't recognise Graduate visa and recruitment agencies as well as recruiters dont want to invest in students who have graduate visa. Now what Can I do to secure a job in the field Of HR when I have the relevant education as well as experience? Please Guide me as each day passes by I feel I am loosing valuable time. Do connect with me on LinkedIn - Abhishek Jagatdeo (Assoc.CIPD)

  • Hi Abhiskek,
    I’m sorry to hear this. But I do not think having graduate visa should be the issue because in as much as you have up to date RTW, you are good. However, you could start by applying for entry level HR jobs and work your way up hopefully you get a company willing to sponsor you.

    Hi Daniel,
    When applying for entry-level positions, we often face rejections with feedback indicating that we are overqualified due to possessing a master's degree. This realization came to light when a recruitment agency informed me of this issue. Additionally, as mentioned by Abhishek, some recruitment agencies are advising that companies might not show interest in our CVs because there is a perception that we can only commit to a job for a limited period, typically around two years.
