Deborah Boms, a Nigerian woman, has shared her heartbreaking experience of struggling to secure a visa-sponsored job in the UK after completing her studies. Despite applying for approximately 3,000 jobs and attending 24 interviews, she couldn’t land a job that would allow her to stay in the UK legally.
Deborah’s emotional journey was documented on social media, where she revealed the financial and emotional toll of her prolonged job search. Her father offered words of comfort, saying, “We’re waiting for you. We cannot reject our own”.
Her story highlights the challenges international graduates face in the UK, particularly with the new regulations increasing salary thresholds and tightening immigration rules. Many Nigerians are panicking, fearing deportation as their visas expire and job sponsorships are delisted.
Deborah’s experience serves as a wake-up call for international students and job seekers, emphasizing the need for awareness and support in navigating post-study work visas and employment opportunities abroad.
