Career coaching · London
You have the degree but no experience. That does not mean starting from zero — it means packaging what you already have.
No commercial experience, and no idea what to put on the CV
Unclear on the difference between graduate schemes, internships and entry-level roles
Applying to everything — with no strategy or targeting
Not using university career services and alumni networks
An empty or poorly filled-in LinkedIn profile
Not ready for UK technical interviews: live coding, case studies, assessment centres
University and course — Russell Group universities help with large employers
Projects and dissertation — the main proof of skills when there is no experience
Internships and placements — even short ones carry weight
GitHub / portfolio — essential for technical roles
Soft skills — communication, teamwork, problem solving (shown through examples)
Right to work — important for large employers' graduate schemes
Entry-level roles exposed to AI increasingly ask for skills that used to be senior — judgement, communication, ownership. What helps graduates now:
Junior
£25–35k (graduate schemes)
Middle
£35–50k (after 2–3 years)
Senior
£50–75k+
Big Tech graduate programmes in London: £45–65k plus bonus
I work with UK university graduates — turning your studies and projects into a strong CV and a focused strategy for your first role.
