Olivia’s Victory in Securing Visa Sponsorship as a Data Analyst
We bring a fantastic story of Olivia, an alumnus at RKY who just secured a visa sponsorship role as a Data Analyst.
Olivia enrolled on our data analysis bootcamp last year and secured her first role immediately after completing the bootcamp. And now, she’s back with another success story of her second data analysis job offer.
And now, Olivia is here to speak with us about her journey from her first role to this new role.
Tell us briefly about your data analysis journey
I joined RKY in early 2023 to train in Data Analysis. The bootcamp went smoothly with the teachings, project work and assignments. The Facilitators also had an impact on my learning.
And now, the training has made me into the Data Analyst I am today, all thanks to RKY.
How did you secure your first role?
After completing the bootcamp, I started applying for roles in data analysis. As of then, I just concluded my master’s program and was applying for a post-study visa.
And it did not take long; I got a job offer, which I was excited about. It was a great deal for me when I shared my success story with RKY.
However, the company withdrew the offer because my post-study visa was approved really late.
How did the withdrawal of the first role affect you?
Being unable to see through the role affected me, career-wise and mentally. It felt like everything was over.
But I am still grateful to RKY Careers for giving us access and support post bootcamp. I picked up my pace and continued applying, knowing there was no obstacle.
What did you do differently to secure a visa sponsorship role and how did you secure it?
I will say nothing much. Just going back to the LMS to watch all the recordings and attend the weekly interview preparation sessions.
Once I was confident, I started applying with confidence. Not long after, I was receiving interviews back to back. One of the roles I later picked was the Band 3 data processing and analysis role with NHS. And this role came with visa sponsorship.

From this experience what have you learnt?
The post-study visa is instrumental in getting Visa
sponsorship. Always embrace continuous development in this skill. Most importantly, don’t give up; the journey is a marathon and not a sprint.
