Hi, I'm a graduate based in London seeking advice on investment management/financial services spaces. I have international education (UK &USA), prior work and internship experience in financial services, along with a sports background as an NCAA team captain and GB International player. Despite reaching final interview rounds twice, I didn't receive an offer. I'm looking for unconventional strategies to break into the industry. Any advice on networking or unique methods would be appreciated.

Hello, I wanted to mention that I work as a sports commentator, specifically about soccer. I used to be one of the main journalists for Spanish media, but since I moved to Miami I feel the general passion for soccer is very different 🥲 The energy and commitment are not even close to what I felt in Spain, where some businesses would close if the match was too important. I hope this nostalgia goes away soon.

So, I landed a Customer Service Advisor job at Sitel in the UK. But I heard that they fire you without any prior notice or end their campaigns abruptly, leaving us with no job. Can’t be facing the risk of no livelihood, right? Can anyone who worked with Sitel give me the real truth? And does Sitel sponsor Tier 2 Visas as such? I am surely looking for stability, security and growth.
