Does anyone have any tips/tricks on looking for a Graphic Design position in London while I wait on my work visa?

I'm moving to London in September and have to wait to get my passport to apply for my work visa! Should I wait till I get that to apply?

  • use for looking for jobs https://www.ifyoucouldjobs.com/ or https://www.designjobsboard.com/

    Also best to put your name CV Portfolio to design recruitment agencies for any full term jobs or freelance. Consider a day rate and hourly rate.

    If you’re planning to looking for work aim for smaller studios not the big ones as everyone always goes straight to them.

    In house design jobs are great for temp until you find a studio that you’ll like to work in.
  • @Emily Eve Shannon Hi Emily! Thanks so much for this information :) I'll definitely look into those!
  • Hi Ashley,

    I would recommend joining some creative communities and networking whilst you're waiting for your visa:

    Ladies, Wine and Design London Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/lwdlondon/

    Rye Here Rye Now, monthly online event and WhatsApp group:
    https://www.ryehereryenow.com/

    Attending online events advertised on The Dots, most talks and workshops encourage networking in the chat function :)

    Nicer Tuesday's events are great too! https://www.itsnicethat.com/nicer-tuesdays
