Before you land in the UK…

"Before you land in the UK, make sure you have done a lot of work on CV and interview preparation, and have talked to others in the UK to learn from their experiences. Build a network – have coffees with friends of friends, and don’t be afraid to reach out to people you may not now for a coffee. Many people are generous with their time if you show that you are ambitious and will not require too much of them."
