[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 12350, member: 2672"] The only way to really show you can achieve a 2.1 is to wait until your final results come in. Either that or getting a strong academic reference that’s suggests you will achieve a 2.1. Improving your application is the typical advice - strengthen your experience elsewhere (work experience, extra curriculars, motivation for applying, written style etc). The visa requirement isn’t a direct disadvantage - it’s just an added complication and cost to the firm. As long as you are converting from your student visa, then a visa for a TC is fairly straight forward as long as it meets the work permit minimum requirements (typically salary) and the firm is willing to pay to visa fee. The issue is if there is a gap between your student visa expiring and your TC starting. Then a resident labour market test is needed and it becomes much more difficult and process driven, plus you’re then part of a national quota for visas, which means you might not get one even if you do meet all the conditions. Play to your strengths/uniqueness - if you are fluent in languages useful to the firm, make sure you showcase that. Firms will be willing to sponsor visas for people who bring something else to the table that an average UK/EU student couldn’t.
