One key step in your job hunt is proactive marketing, employers need to see you are aware of their requirements and are able to articulate and match what they are seeking. In some cultures it may feel like showing off, a sign of disrespect or perceived as over competitive. The concept of self-marketing may require some practice; take time to understand job descriptions, key words and skills may have variations across different countries. Avoid using terminology a British employer would not understand, research and think how it could be explained more effectively outside of your home country. Remember to include experiences gained at home; they are equally valid as UK internships, jobs and volunteering.
