Hey
I've been applying for jobs for quite a while now, but no luck. Despite being told by career coaches and job seeker helpers that I have a strong CV and cover letter, I haven't even been able to get an interview.
I graduated 3 yrs ago, with a degree in IR, and have a diverse background, that isn't 'corporate' based.

I'm interested in risk/compliance, consulting, and research/intelligence analyst roles. Internships, entry-level, or even a referral.

Looking for advice/help, please.

I’m an American trying to move to London; however it’s rare that companies hire an American directly - so it’s not going to happen for me (still hopeful tho…that’s all I got) 🥲

Anyhoo, I have applied to several risk jobs (probably 60/70) not knowing they don’t hire Americans. My point is those types of jobs are available. Where are you looking?

Well London has lost its culture after having imported people from different backgrounds so heavily, it’s certainly not safe (I remember reading recently that it surpassed NYC in crime rates) and it’s expensive as hell without wages matching American counterparts. I’m not saying don’t make the move but I’d hate to see your expectations crumble after having come here.
