Success Story: How Bolanle Secured Visa Sponsorship offers as a Senior Data Analyst
As a UK international job-seeker, getting visa sponsorship is always a top priority for students, dependants, or foreign applicants. Statistics have shown that the number of candidates competing for these opportunities is 10000 times higher than the visa sponsorship job opportunities.
This is because finding companies willing to sponsor requires lots of research, and positioning yourself for these few requires a good strategy. RKY Careers, in many of our career workshops, has shared these winning strategies for landing visa sponsorship jobs, which has helped candidates and resulted in many Visa Sponsorship success stories.
How do you navigate the whole process and land a visa sponsorship job? Well, there are a lot of important steps to take, and we would love to tell you about them. But, this time, we would let Bolanle’s story teach you some essential tips and lessons about getting a visa sponsorship role.
Here is how Bolanle engaged our rebranding services and landed 2 visa sponsorship offers as a Senior Data analyst in top firms in the United Kingdom.
Her Career Journey: The Beginning of a Success Story
A few months after her Master’s degree, Bolanle, like most hopeful immigrants looking for a job and permanent stay in the UK, had her eyes set on Visa sponsorship job vacancies. However, it was challenging because the visa sponsorship job market is quite stiff and highly competitive, which heightened her anxiety and frustrations.
Whenever she rolled out her application for full-time roles, she encountered recurring problems: Recruiters preferred someone with UK experience, Employers were not offering visa sponsorship, Employers didn’t want to employ people on a student visa but preferred candidates with Indefinite Leave to remain or British Citizenship.
She stumbled on our career workshop video on Youtube, detailing Strategies to land Visa sponsorship jobs and Navigating the UK Job Market and watched the entire playlist; she soon found out what she has been doing wrong as she has not employed the services of a professional to optimize her CV and Linkedin for her target role following the completion of her Masters.
She decided to do something different to get a different result, so she booked the RKY Careers Combo of 2 Rebranding services to get her CV and Linkedin aligned to the UK standard and optimised for her target tole.
She was super confident of the positive results and value she would get out of the service as she has read many of our success stories of job applicants who are in her exact situation and got their desired jobs . “I’ve always had a passion for companies who direct and motivate professionals to achieve their career goals, and RKY Careers’ mission aligned perfectly with my needs, she said.”

While we couldn’t guarantee her a chance to get such roles due to the large competition, other factors that influences hiring decision as well as other criteria to land visa sponsorship jobs which were beyond our control. We however knew that having an optimised brand was the starting point which could make a lot of difference, and that we delivered to her.
