About Me

Hello! I am Hardil Shah, and I help international students and graduates aiming to build successful careers in the UK land VISA Sponsored Jobs. Having navigated my own journey through the UK job market, I understand firsthand the challenges of securing opportunities as an international applicant and I want to change this.

With a background in engineering from the Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT), Mumbai, and a Master’s degree in Management from Imperial College London (Dean’s List), my journey has equipped me with a unique perspective on building an international career.

Arriving in the UK in 2021 amidst the pandemic, I faced intense competition and limited opportunities. Nevertheless, proactively reaching out for help, participating in networking events, career fairs, and workshops while applying to over 1,500 roles led to my first internship before I even finished my course. This was followed by 3 Full-Time roles (Visa Sponsored) in industries spanning from Retail, Consulting, Strategy and Operations to Procurement.

Let’s face it, the struggle is real! Landing A role in this market is so difficult, let alone a Sponsored role.

This must change and I want to support you on this career journey, which is why I founded International Careers Network (ICN). Through this, I want to share my experiences, tools, and industry insight to help you strategize your job hunt and land your dream role.

The Mission

My goal with International Careers Network is simple: to provide a supportive platform that empowers international students and professionals with the tools, resources, and guidance needed to secure their ideal VISA-sponsored roles in the UK. I want to streamline this process by drawing directly from my own experiences so you don't make the mistakes I did.

In the past three years, I’ve helped over 400+ students, and my goal is to help even more international graduates do the same.

A lot of hard work has gone into creating this community and the tools, and we are improving by the minute (not the hour, not the day but by the minute ⏳).

We want to make it as accessible as possible and hence charge <£1/day for the Core Tier.

So…
Are you ready to take your career to the next level?

I look forward to seeing and speaking with you inside!
