Lately I have seen a number of International Students who have asked me the same question,\u201cshould I put my nationality on my CV?\u201d and \u201cwill this affect how employers view my application?\u201d\u00a0My view is to be upfront about this\u2026 Remember an employer will read your CV and may well work out you are from overseas by simply looking at your previous education.<\/p>\n
So if you are from outside the UK, be clear about your nationality on your CV whilst clarifying how this impacts your eligibility to work in the UK. For example, if applying for a part-time job whilst studying, put something like:<\/p>\n
Nationality: Indian, eligible to work part-time in the UK for up to X hours.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
(Make sure you know the current position by always keeping up to date with information on the UK Visas & Immigration<\/a>\u00a0website)<\/p>\n
If you are looking for work in the UK after you have finished your studies, try something like:<\/p>\n
Nationality: Indian,\u00a0eligible to work in the UK with Tier 2 visa sponsorship<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
You can find\u00a0\u00a0excellent guidance notes from UKCISA<\/a>.\u00a0For specific questions relating to your right to work in the UK\u00a0make an appointment with one of our helpful International Student Advisers<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
