i get lots of questions about the current job situations around the world how can people get

for you guys especially in the uk where she's at right now so see me please go ahead and introduce
yourself hello rob and hello to everyone watching this video right now i'm so happy to be on screen
with rob and uh saying a big hi hello to everyone who's watching our video right now i'm sydney i'm
hailing from the very most a beautiful state in india so if there are people watching from kerala
or any malus from anywhere in the world namaskaram to everyone yeah carol is god's own country right
yeah okay some country so it's just been hardly an era since i moved to uk so before moving to
uk i was i did my graduation in engineering i'm a computer science engineer and then i like worked
for like two years time and then i took up my master in business administration mba and then
again i worked for like eight months time and then i thought that okay now it's time to make
a really quick career jump i have to just move to uk so i flew all the way from india to uk
i'm currently doing my masters in international marketing at the university of northampton
and it's been an incredible journey so far i'm doing i'm actually um doing my part-time job
here and just about to step into the uh the real job market because my placement year is starting
very soon and uh on this video we'll be sharing a lot about the job opportunities for students
especially for in indian students so yes rob that's that's all about me awesome well i'm so
excited i appreciate you reaching out on linkedin wanting to help and impact other students on their
journey as well let's just start real quick about the job market and the economic conditions talk
about you know maybe pre-pandemic and then also a current pandemic what is the uk job
market like for people who are considering where should i go study abroad in the world
i think uk is going to be a very attractive place especially for indian students because we
know that maybe hundreds and thousands of indian students were migrating to canada and australia
like before like all these years there have been a trend of people going to canada because canada
was very welcoming especially for international students because they don't have to you know the
points based was something very easy and uh people were not actually concerned about the
education or the universities there what attracted university students from india was basically
uh the eligibility or the criteria they have to meet up took for settlement that was easier
in canada but on the other side uk was not at all welcoming students it was welcoming in in
terms of like the universities education system but what happens after that like were they able
to settle down in uk so with in terms of that uk wasn't attractive but canada and australia
were welcoming in that case for the what people normally call the pr the permanent residents but
uh now uk is going to change or make make a big revolution i'm not saying saying that you
know in terms of pr or anything but in terms of attracting students or helping them to stay in
the uk even after graduation uk is going to have a massive change in all their routes and regulations
and we know that brexit was it's been one and still the most hottest topic being discussed in
the uk and we know that uh britain has exited from the european union from 2020 march if i'm right so
officially 2021 jan all the immigration rules are going to change and before the free pan to
make the job market currently the job market is very tight because uh you know what's happening
all around the world the recession job prices people are already losing jobs so if i have to say
in reference with what's happening right now job market is really tough to be very honest with
you but that doesn't mean that that's the end of the life or that's the end of the channel there's
always light at the end of the tunnel so if you're really experienced like even if you before moving
to uk if you have like pretty good experience of like one or two years then still that is top
but the problem is like there is people like us who come from india with like one or two
experience on the other side and that is on the other side there are people with five and ten
years of experience who are employed who might have lost their jobs who might be redundant so
employer always have to make a choice obviously the preference goes to the people who are employed
so that's the reason uh the job market is really tough but if it was the normal situation like so
no corona virus no kovac 19 no recession then i think people like me who come from you know
india and having at least like one or two years experience then uk uk is like you know it has
like a lot of employment opportunities coming up and provided the brexit happening from jan 2021
it's not a good thing to say but still then most europeans will lose their jobs or if they have to
stay in the country there is no free movement of people from europe anymore people have to find a
visa or a permission to leave in the country just like any other people so there is no
you know favoritism for europeans or indians everyone's going to be treated
so hopefully when things are back to normal like after the corona and you know the wire is going
after that and brexit and the new points-based immigration system which will be talking later
uk is going to be a perfect destination for international students trust me take it from me
yeah so it sounds like brexit is actually going to help international students especially in their
careers after they graduate correct yes that's right awesome that is encouraging let's talk about
undergrad so explain kind of how long the undergrad is and what the work opportunities
are before we talk about masters undergrad students basically uk the undergrad stays for
like three years long so if students come after their you know their 12th grade from india mostly
then obviously there are no chances to help to have a work experience so for undergrads you
come here for five years you are sorted for life like three years you get to stay here you know
for doing your course and during that three years uh time also you get the rights to work
part time and like you uk has a lot of lot of student jobs and they pay you really well
so if you you know try to have a good uh not a very luxurious lifestyle to balance lifestyle
then you know if you have taken up money from student loans or from bank then it's easy for
you to pay the uh pay your loans but it might seem to be a huge amount when you compare to india but
once you move to uk then that money is not that huge when you compare the indian rupees and the
pounds so sprint down free will pay you well and then after graduation you get like the two years
stay backwards which is you know available for any student who is graduating from 2021 so you get
that two-year work visa and uh when when you move switch to that work with her which is also known
as the graduate immigration route you have the permission to work full-time here and it doesn't
need to be in your work area you can like work in any any any field but i advise you that in terms
of the future career terms you have to find a job that actually matches with your skill of education
but it's not compulsory uh for these people students are you know have the right to do any
kind of job here so for to cut short for undergrad students five years in uk it started great now
what about the master students master students i would always encourage you to take up a course
which has an internship here because i'm doing a master's in international marketing and the
i think rob the most highlighting thing about the masters in uk compared to any other country is
that it's just like one year one year of course and your work is done read from any prestigious
university just one year of masters it goes like in a swish of a time and then you park you know
you grab you don't like graduate but you get like actually this is like a two year course it's just
one year that you go to the university and attend the classes and the second year is actually the
placement the earth which is more or less like the time you have your full-time work work rights
basically if you are going to your university here like your term there's something called
the term time which means that you don't have the full-time work rights here you can just work like
like 20 hours a week which is the part-time work rights but after your classes after university
when your placement year starts you get like the full-time work rights like you can work
for 35-40 hours a week so if any student who's coming for the masters and if that course has a
placement there then i say that the struggle is just for like one year and then the three years
provided if if everything was normal then you would have a great great time here because the job
opportunities are so much big in the uk but i'm not considering the current situation everything
is uncertain for so to cut short for master students with a placement year four years sorted
awesome awesome yeah now there's some key terms we've mentioned so be good to define and maybe
help people understand talk about what post study work psw is yeah and then also the points based
immigration system and let's help explain those for students yeah so i'll just say about the post
study work with subjects because it's been one of the fascinating topics for most of the students
because while i was making my you know career move to the uk everything was kind of uncertain because
uh at that time there was discussions about you know people the government is going to bring back
the foster workers out but there was no clarity on things every everything was like you know we
never knew that when this was gonna come people say that it's going to come come but you know
you know we come and know that when it's going to come so what uh points based says i mean no psw
actually means is that any any student whether it's an undergrad or a master's who graduate in
after the summer of 2021 you have to make sure that it is the summer of 2021 which means that
by august september time if you graduate after that you get the rights to stay in the uk for the
next two years and you can work in any field of your choice so this is something that was
scrapped in 2012 when teresa may was in power she actually you know scrapped this 2000 in 2012
so before that also students had the privilege to stay in two years in uk but in 2012 she just took
it off and cut this two year to just four months which means that you know there's no point in
coming all the way from india burning a lot of money and you know a basic aim is that at least
in terms of a business perspective like the roi return on investment is really important you have
to at least get the money that you spend for your education but for four months time was too little
to find a job to convert from a student visa to our tier to work visa so coming to the uk was only
a thing or a privilege for like the really uh you know rich people from india they just come to uk
get a prestigious uk degree or from any university and then they come back so mostly the people who
are from the middle class or from the average families uk was not a good country like in terms
of the money but now uh when boris johnson came to power they just introduced the slow cult uh
posterior crystal for anyone who graduate in 2021 two years started that's basically
yeah yeah in similar terms two years day back you get after your graduation so we're going to do the
chai question for this video and this question is what kind of jobs are you guys looking for
specifically in the uk if you want to come and study and potentially work in the uk let us
know in the comments um what kind of jobs you'd be interested in find in the uk be interesting
uh cd for you what kind of jobs are you going to be looking for for after your graduation
well i'm basically i this is my second masters actually i already have a master's
uh mba from india and my uh core area of specialization was into marketing
and i also have experience from india in my in a marketing job and the kind of job that i do here
it's not very much related to marketing but through them it's kind of an administrative role
so i made it very sure that like the part-time job that i i'm gonna do here like i told you there are
variety of options that you know students have here for the part-time jobs like care homes
restaurants warehouses so i was very particular that i knew this thing before like experience at
the end of the day wherever you are whatever job you wanted to experience matters a lot so i was
very particular that i if i take up a job here as a part-time i want something that i can put in my
cv or resume which highlights my skills like uh so i'm doing a kind of administrative role in a
company called chanco the job that i'll be looking for is basically business and marketing and stuff
because uk is definitely a place where you know there are a lot of you know business happening
and london is obviously the financial hub of the world so a lot of business opportunities and
you know in terms of businesses it it it's uh it's still a good choice uh uk but everything at the
end of the day is drop it's the corona virus and everyone's losing their jobs but otherwise uh you
know people who take up a cause wait in marketing or accounting or finance logistics everything
so there are like a lot of opportunities and still then rob there are opportunities
like if you just go to linkedin or indeed there are a lot of opportunities but the thing is like
when the employer makes a comparison on the candidates list people like us who don't have that
experience then you know to actually make it to the top you need that experience so always i i'll
now like considering the current situation i would urge everyone to take up at least one year of
experience like if you're doing if you're planning for your masters make sure that you get at least
an year of experience from india and then you know come here so that things are little easier and uh
taking a part-time job which actually matches your skill level is really tough thank god i
got something that actually you know matches to my level education but on the other side the employer
won't prefer someone who it's just because we are not skilled or we are not qualified it's
just the visa the 20 hour work limit is something that upsets the employer so otherwise yeah yeah
that's thanks for sharing and yeah like you said the work experience is definitely really helpful
really beneficial to help you stand out the last question we're going to wrap up with is you get
the two-year post study work what about people who want to stay longer you know what how do or what
can people do to stay longer and work in in the uk in england after the two-year psw okay i think
rob that is something we have to do in a totally different video because that is really a liberty
alarm process just like i told you uk is not a pr friendly country to be very honest because unlike
in canada and australia the chances of actually settled settling down in this country is really
uh i'm i won't say that it's impossible but it's tough it's really takes skills and caliber only if
you meet that skill level that you'll be able to live in this country because uh as far as
the brexit is concerned now the uk will take only people who will actually benefit to their economy
who actually can contribute a great deal to the economy but unlike in canada australia they need
more people to fill up their population so it was like an easy process like they don't need a lot
of skilled people but uh need to you know improve their population they'll just welcome anyone who
actually meets certain criteria but uk in terms we actually actually have a lot of people here so now
they're like very particular about having only the skilled people in the country so to stay longer
after the post uh study about whistler which gives you like two years i tell you that your skills
your experience and your personality and whatever things that can actually impress an employer
will help you stay here because uh unlike from to the unlike this country before 2021 there was like
tier 2 work visa which needs an employer to actually sponsor a visa for anyone who wants
to take up a job and that is like a blankly process a lot of paperwork a lot of you know
government regulations and stuff the employer has to actually prove the government that i'm taking
this person from india because i couldn't find a person from britain who can do this job i can't
find a person from the whole of the european union to do this job that's why i'm taking this person
so you know if there is a job opportunity here definitely there will be some written british
guy who can fill up the job or someone from the eu who can fill up the job so there's no
need for an employer to take that that next step to actually go and find a person from india
so that was the toughest part that most indians usually find to come to the uk i'm not talking
about healthcare sector because uh those who are in the medical profession doctors or nurses
it's like a like open door for open door policy to uk because you know the health people are
who are dealing with the medical profession that's that's really a different story but i'm talking of
people like me who mostly take business courses or courses the non-medical profession so if you have
really you know want to stay in the uk i urge you to uh right from the day you enter the uk
with your part-time work with your projects you do the internship and whatever job that you take
up during that two-year uh work visa time make use of it make you know do whatever you can do
to actually you know get the get to the next level the points based immigration system
because that's what you need to stay in the longer but i think that we can talk a lot
more about it when we discuss the points based immigration system because that is actually to
the answer to the extension of psn yeah sounds good sounds good well simmi this has been
amazing thanks so much for sharing and also happy birthday to you thanks for uh sharing a little
time on your birthday to invest in helping other students in their cross-cultural so thanks so much
yes yes it's been a pleasure talking to you and i think you know talking through this platform like
i get a lot of calls from india asking about how to make the uk or how do you find a job and what
what it really takes to find a job in uk so i think this video will be useful for a lot of you
know people who are actually aspiring to uh you know come to the uk trust me bro i thought that
you know people who will be you know planning for their studies in uk or anywhere will be differing
their studies because of the pandemic but you know i'm in good terms with the university's
international office so i just i was very curious to know like how many people are actually coming
i know from from my country from india uh to the university and lady was on the phone she said that
i don't know whether this university is going to be filled with lot of indian people because
that's been a record number of people who are applying to the uk universities
of the you know stay back and other things that's happening in the uk so i think
we have to talk a lot about it in our coming videos sounds great well thanks so much again
