It will be a positive and inspiring video, so make sure to watch it till the end.

Neeraj got job in an unrelated field of his study due to his experience. I know many students are getting placed in unrelated fields due to their work experience and communication skills. From my recent interaction with the students in UK, what I understand is that the UK job market is experience driven. Educational qualification is not even secondary.

[@KeinShah]

That is correct. Skills and experience are 2 most important factors. Masters is just a stepping stone to land in the UK.

[@subhashjatla6814]

Good one. Neeraj is a good spokesperson of the Uni. Apt choice to interview. Great video

Hi Kein. It was great video. As ur friend get job before his graduate completion. What is the document that employer ask. As at tier -4 we can do only 20/hour. So what documents we need to submit to employer

[@KeinShah]

Employers don't really care about it. It is the responsibility of the student to manage his/her working hrs. Employers only ask for right to work code to check if you are legally allowed to work in the UK. He got job before completion, however he will start his job only when he s allowed to work full time.

[@bhakti2605]

@@KeinShah being as a international student a student can work full time after term end date. If I am not wrong. Does he submitted any document to employer?

[@KeinShah]

@bhakti2605 one can work full time after submission of final dissertation, which is mostly followed by summer break. But employers do not ask for anything as such, just right to work code is enough. It is the duty of the student not to work more than the stipulated hours as per visa regulations. Employers do not really care about it and many are not even aware of it.

[@kukrejaneeraj]

@@bhakti2605 hi, i just want to add, sometimes the employer wants a completion letter from the university stating that the learner has completed coursework and is now free to work in UK. You can get this document from admin only after submitting your final dissertation and the university is happy to provide you that. so don't worry, try for your dream job but keep in mind that your joining date should be after the course completion date.
