🎓 Pursuing a master's degree in law in the United Kingdom can be a dream come true for many international students, including qualified advocates from India like myself. It's an opportunity to expand our horizons, deepen our legal knowledge, and embrace new cultures. However, the reality we often encounter after graduation can be a bit daunting. 💼 Despite having a solid legal background, relevant internships, and work experience, many of us find it challenging to secure jobs in the UK legal market. The journey from being a qualified advocate in India to seeking employment in the UK comes with its own set of hurdles, and visa compliance adds an extra layer of complexity. 💰 We invest a significant amount of money in our education, and our aspirations are high. We come to the UK with the intention of contributing our legal expertise and becoming part of the legal landscape here. But the job market can be fiercely competitive, and it sometimes feels like our qualifications and experiences aren't fully recognized. 🌟 So, what's the key takeaway? We are resilient, determined, and eager to make our mark. We bring unique perspectives, international experiences, and a passion for the law. We hope that UK employers will recognize the value we bring and provide opportunities for us to thrive in the legal field. 🤝 Let's engage in a constructive dialogue on how we can bridge this gap and create a more welcoming environment for international law graduates in the UK. Share your experiences, insights, or advice, and let's work together to overcome these challenges. #InternationalLawGrads #UKLegalMarket #LegalJobs #CareerChallenges #VisaCompliance #LawyersInUK #Resilience #LegalCommunity #LegalProfessionals #llmjobs

Please take a moment to read this very helpful post written by my colleague Florence Maher. If you are a student who’s seeking to work in international organizations or in general in the international relations field, these are some of the best advices you can get. #internationalorganizations #recruitment
*Advice for students.* Things that potential employers in international relations *don't* care about: (Caveat: Based on anecdotal experiences. And I don't work in human resources.) --Your grade point average. Some career entry programs do have a cut-off. However, national systems are different from each other, making it difficult to compare applicants in an international recruitment. Jobs aren't scholarships -- that hard-earned number no longer attracts much interest. --How long it took you to graduate. It seems a big deal to you at the time, but on the international level nobody notices or cares if you graduated early, on time, or very, very late. Again, national systems are so different that it's hard to compare. --What your degree is called. International relations? Political economy? Global diplomacy and conflict studies? As long as you have a degree with some kind of vague connection to the job you're applying to, the name of your degree is not that important. --Too much info about the names of the classes you took, your scholarship, etc. Keep it short. A few key words on your CV about your topical/functional interests will suffice. It's nice to see that you won some scholarships and awards, but employers aren't interested in the details. Things that potential employers *do* care about: --Skills you developed through internships, volunteer experiences, working, clubs, etc. Did you organize a student conference? Give speeches on a topic of interest at local schools? Describe what you did and the impact you had. --Functional skills. That course in data analytics is a *lot* more interesting to employers than all those courses in human rights, environment, energy, etc. --Public proof of your above activities and skills. In this day and age, the more professional material an employer can find should they Google you, the better. Consciously cultivate an online footprint. It's called "LinkedIn" for a reason! Thanks to Ivan Babiy for inspiring some of the above advice. He rocked it from OECD intern to now OECD official within a year!

International Legal Framework on Trafficking in Persons Disguised as Internships Abroad Trafficking in persons disguised as overseas internships poses a significant challenge under international law. The phenomenon violates various international instruments, including the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime. According to this Protocol, trafficking in persons involves the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring, or receipt of persons through force, coercion, fraud, or deception for the purpose of exploitation. Exploitation may include forced labor, servitude, or sexual exploitation. Under international law, states are obligated to prevent and combat trafficking, including addressing its root causes and providing assistance and protection to victims. Moreover, states must ensure that perpetrators are prosecuted and punished appropriately. Trafficking disguised as internships abroad often involves deceptive recruitment practices, such as false promises of legitimate employment or educational opportunities. Such practices violate international standards on fair recruitment and human rights. To effectively address this issue, international cooperation among states, law enforcement agencies, and civil society organizations is essential. This includes sharing information, coordinating investigations, and providing support to victims. In conclusion, combating trafficking in persons disguised as overseas internships requires a comprehensive approach grounded in international legal frameworks, cooperation, and respect for human rights. #humanrights #humantrafficking

"It's imperative that we address and put an end to such discriminatory practices. I've come across numerous posts regarding the selection of associates and interns, and excluding local graduates sends a message that dreams are not accessible to those less privileged. Furthermore, if you are not willing to provide opportunities to local graduates, then who will? They seek nothing more than a fair chance. Consider this: individuals studying at UK-based universities likely already possess ample resources and financial advantages, making them privileged. But what about those who lack these privileges? Who will support them? Although they may be proficient in Pakistan's laws, language can be a barrier. It does not mean they lack competence; it simply means they have not been given the opportunity. Given a mere 2-3 months, they can improve. Local graduates have the potential to excel even beyond international counterparts. It's essential to give us the chance we deserve."

Actively looking for internship/part-time opportunities | Engineering Management Student | Automotive Professional | Growth Mindset | Unstoppable | Detroit | Sports Fan
International students in the United States often find themselves frustrated by a seemingly simple question on job applications: "Are you eligible to work in the U.S.?” On the surface, it may seem like a straightforward question. For international students like me, the answer is far from black and white. This question can be a source of immense frustration because our work eligibility in the U.S. is often restricted. Typically, we're allowed to work on-campus during the first two semesters of the academic year. Off-campus work is possible in the third semester under certain conditions, such as Optional Practical Training (OPT) or Curricular Practical Training (CPT). However, these limitations make answering the question tricky, as most job applications lack the nuance to explain our situation. The frustration is compounded by the vagueness of the question. It doesn't distinguish between various types of work authorizations, making it difficult for international students to provide a concise response. It's a one-size-fits-all query for a situation that is anything but one-size-fits-all. When we honestly answer this question, employers who aren't familiar with immigration law often become confused. This misunderstanding can lead to missed opportunities. Employers may assume that international students cannot work at all, rather than exploring the specific conditions of their work authorization. It's time for change. Employers should consider specifying the types of work authorization they accept or providing a space for international students to explain their unique situation. This would help bridge the gap of understanding and ensure that international students are not unfairly excluded from opportunities. Let's collaborate to create a fair and inclusive job application process for international students in the United States. P.S. Have you faced similar challenges as an international student in the U.S.? I'd love to hear your experiences and solutions! #internationalstudents #cptjobs #internship #opportunity #goblue
