When I moved to the UK in September 2022, I didn’t know the weather, the people, or even how to cross the road properly. Everything was new. And honestly? I was loving it.

The first few months of my Master’s in Management flew by. I was soaking it all in: new friendships, coursework, city life. But then came the internship phase in our course, a mandatory four-month internship.

And that’s when reality struck.

Getting an internship itself took three intense rounds of interviews.

That’s when the thought hit me: “If this is how hard internships are, how wild will it be for full-time jobs?”

I started applying, but it was chaos.

There was no plan. No clarity. Just panic.

Marketing roles. Copywriting. Finance. Project management. I applied to everything and anything that popped up on my screen.

Nothing was clicking.

I wasn’t hearing back. I couldn’t even remember what I’d applied to because I hadn’t tracked anything. And the stress kept piling up.

That’s when I reached out to Sharath.

We had one conversation, and that changed everything.

He asked me to choose a niche.

That moment of reflection led me back to something I’d never considered:

Marketing.

I’d been unknowingly doing it for years, helping promote my dad’s business, running campaigns on the side. I just hadn’t named it.

Once I did, things started changing.

I built a system.

→ Created an Excel tracker → Identified roles aligned with marketing → Used Unimad’s Value Proposition Document → Applied → then followed up with cold emails + calls → Personalised every CV and wrote human cover letters

I went beyond "just applying."

I started showing up with clarity and confidence.

And suddenly, interviews were happening.

Conversations were starting.

In January 2024, three months after finishing my course, I finally heard the word I had been waiting for: You’re hired.

To those looking for jobs, remember, Spray and pray doesn’t work. Focus is what gets you hired.
