Graduate Recruitment Fair in Manchester

I attended the graduate recruitment fair held in Manchester with my friends today that lasts two days. It is my first time to attend such kind of exhibition in UK, so I regarded it as a good opportunity to promote myself and prepared 20 CVs for it. But after getting the brochure of the fair I found it's obvious that the vacancies related to IT were less than my expectation. Does it mean that IT jobs are not hot right now in UK or north west of UK?

I tried to talk to the representatives of the companies providing the IT jobs. Unsurprisedly the frequent first question of theirs were 'do you got the right of work permit in UK?' Ok, forgive me, I'm an international student studying master course here. How can I get a work permit if there is no company to provide me a chance? The reason I come to the fair is trying to get a job and contribute to you - the company and UK. You say 'No' directly because you don't want to waste time in applying the work permit for the guy no matter whether he/she matches the vacancy or not. Maybe you don't realise that the refusion might cause the loss of a potential talented staff of the company.

I think most Chinese students have the same difficulties as me while applying a job, which are the communication skills and the right of work permit. Although our communication skills can be improved by our practice, the issue of work permit is uncontrollable. We have technical skills, working experience and passion. All we need is a chance to prove ourselves.

However, I won't sit here and keep complaining. I would rather believe the chance doesn't knock my door because I'm not excellent enough. And I need to keep enhancing my professional skills as well as the capability of English.

We never know when luck comes, but we should prepare for the unpredictable chance in every minute.
