My blog Blog Services Contact About me Farhoon Asim I’m Farhoon Asim, the founder of The UK Job Institute— a step-by-step training platform designed to help international students secure sponsored jobs in the UK.
My journey began like so many others. I arrived in the UK from Karachi at 19 years old with big dreams and no connections. The early days weren’t glamorous: I juggled part-time work, struggled with culture shock, and collected hundreds of rejections before finally landing my first UK role. But I learned something critical along the way: the UK job market is a system—and systems can be decoded. From 500+ Rejections to Coaching Success I faced over 500 rejections before securing a visa-sponsored role with KPMG UK as an Audit Graduate. The key wasn’t luck or fancy degrees. It was learning: How to communicate my story effectively How to write a UK-standard CV that passed automated filters How to approach professionals for advice, not just referrals After KPMG, I joined Raindrop, a fintech startup, where I served as Growth Lead. There, I helped scale revenue from £6 million to £20 million in just over a year, honing my skills in marketing, growth strategy, and leadership in high-pressure environments. But while I was building my own career, I never forgot how hard that first job was to get—and how many international students were going through the same struggle with even fewer resources. Why I Built The UK Job Institute I launched The UK Job Institute to make the playbook I wish I’d had available to anyone who needs it. We focus on practical, proven strategies tailored for international students: AI-powered CV optimization that beats recruitment filters Generative AI-assisted cover letter writing Interview preparation with structured, honest feedback Tier 2 sponsorship guidance with real employer lists and outreach templates Personal branding for LinkedIn and professional networking My mission is to help 1,000+ graduates land UK-sponsored roles by 2026. What Sets Me Apart I’m not just a career coach—I’m someone who’s been exactly where you are. I know what it feels like to be lost in the UK job market without local connections.
I understand the pressure of visa deadlines and sponsorship requirements. I’ve built and tested every strategy I teach, both for myself and for hundreds of students. In just the past year, we’ve helped over 150 students secure UK- sponsored roles. We’ve built a 7-figure coaching community from scratch, with over 79,000 LinkedIn followers and 50 million+ organic impressions sharing real-world, no-fluff advice. My Approach: Modern, Transparent, Effective The UK Job Institute isn’t about selling “magic bullet” promises. It’s about real strategies, honest guidance, and modern tools. We leverage: AI and generative AI for smarter applications Personalized coaching for cultural fit and employer expectations Structured systems that take you from clueless to confident Because recruitment has changed. Automated systems now decide who even gets seen by a human recruiter. Knowing how to work with them is essential—not optional. A Mission Built on Paying It Forward I’m also a TEDx speaker, sharing my journey and philosophy in “Turning ‘I’m an International Student’ into a Superpower.” I regularly speak at universities, incubators, and events, teaching students how to turn what feels like a disadvantage into a competitive edge. Why? Because I know firsthand that strangers who took the time to help me changed my life. My goal is to normalise asking for help—and prove that borders should never be stop signs.
