International Graduate, Zero UK Experience. Hired in 3 Weeks.

I moved to London with a chemical engineering degree from the University of Lagos and a master's from Imperial. Despite my qualifications, recruiters kept asking about "UK work experience" — which I didn't have.

Six months of rejections chipped away at my confidence. Career advisers told me to "start small" and "manage expectations". I refused to accept that.

SUAR's Job Matcher found the BP role and rated me at 84% compatibility. The CV Scanner helped me translate my Nigerian internship experience into language UK recruiters understood.

I used the Interview Simulator to practise answering competency questions with a confident, structured approach. The Company Intelligence module showed me BP's diversity commitment wasn't just PR — they genuinely valued international perspectives.

BP offered me the role after a single assessment centre. My manager said my international perspective on energy systems was exactly what their sustainability team needed. Sometimes being different is the advantage.
