GUYS. I CAN'T KEEP CALM.

I'm officially off the job market. 🥳

I'm so, so happy to announce that I've joined WPP Media, India as a Senior Executive - Social.

And honestly? This role is everything I could have ever asked for.

The largest global marketing agency. Top-tier brands as clients. An amazing work culture that actually feels right.

I can't wait to dive into the world of performance marketing and absolutely crush it. ❤️‍🔥

Is this a detour from my UK dream? Yeah, it is.

But I've learned that sometimes the best things come from paths you didn't plan for.

Everything happens for a reason. And I'm trusting the process more than ever.

At this point, I'm living proof that if you set your mind to something - and keep going even when it's hard, even when you're tired, even when you're not sure - YOU CAN ACHIEVE IT!!! 🫶🏻

Maybe not in the exact way you imagined. 
But in the way that's meant for you.

I'm SO SO grateful.

💓 Grateful for this opportunity.
💓 Grateful for the journey that got me here 
(even the messy, tearful, "why is this taking so long" parts).
💓 And most of all, grateful for YOU - my community here who kept me going, checked in on me, hyped me up, and supported me at every single stage.

You have no idea how much it meant. 🥹

Special shoutout to Himanshi for the speediest onboarding process ever - let's goooo! 🙌

And now I can't wait to see what this chapter has in store for me.
New role. New challenges. Same energy.

the only friyayyy reminder youuu need 🤭💓🫶🏻🎀✨

Hey there! I'm Sakshi 👋

I recently graduated from the University of Leeds with a Master's in Consumer Analytics and Marketing Strategy. My passion? Mixing creativity with data to bring that campaign to life.

My Story in a Nutshell

It all started with my mom's homegrown fashion label. Helping her with marketing and social media strategies sparked my passion for the creative sector. I soon realized I had a knack for numbers too, leading me to where I am now – right at the sweet spot between creativity and data.

What I Love Doing

↳ Finding Patterns: I enjoy digging into data to spot trends others might miss.
↳ Creating Effective Campaigns: I turn insights into marketing plans that really connect with people.
↳ Seeing Real Growth: Nothing beats watching a campaign succeed and helping a brand grow.

What I Bring to the Table

↳ Clear Communication: I create reports and presentations that are easy to understand and remember.
↳ Effective Project Management: I use tools like Notion and Trello to keep marketing projects on track and teams aligned.
↳ Learning from Results: After each project, I look at what worked well to make the next one even better.

What's Next?

I'm eager to join a team where I can use my skills in marketing and data analysis to help brands grow. 

If you're looking for someone who can bring fresh ideas and a data-smart approach to your marketing, let's connect!🤝

60% of jobs are filled without ever hitting job boards.

And I learned this the hard way. 😅

I used to sit around waiting for the "perfect role" to pop up on LinkedIn so I could apply. Spoiler: it wasn't working.

That's because there's an entire hidden job market most people don't even know exists.

But once I learned how to tap into it? Everything changed.

Here's exactly how you can do it too. 👉✨

 Hidden Job market Pt 1.

the beginning of this year taught me one of the most underrated skill:

the art of letting go. 🥹

Have you ever heard that phrase: 

"the tighter you hold sand, the faster it slips through your fingers"?

that's exactly what was happening with me.

for the longest time, I was chasing my dream to get a job in the UK. I was giving it everything - my sweat, my blood, my mental health, all of it.

and nothing happened.

there came a point where I was holding on so tight, it stopped being a goal.

It became an OBSESSION!!

and it was slowly destroying me.

i wasn't excited anymore. i was anxious. burnt out. constantly spiraling.

every rejection felt personal. every "we'll get back to you" felt like a door slamming in my face.

it wasn't healthy. it was toxic.

that's when I realized: 
i can't do this anymore.

so I made a decision.

i took a step back. and I started letting things go...

now, that doesn't mean I stopped applying for jobs or gave up on my dream.

i just detached myself from the outcome.
i stopped obsessing over when it would happen, how it would happen, or if it would happen at all.

I LET IT GOOO

and honestly?
that one month when I didn't have a job? when I was just... existing, applying, trusting, breathing?

that was the best beginning of the year I could've asked for.

i was at peace. i could finally trust the process without feeling like I was suffocating under the weight of my own expectations.

and you know what happened?

everything started falling into place.

not because I was trying harder.
but because I finally gave myself permission to let go of the obsession and just focus on the effort.

so if you're holding onto something so tight it's hurting you.. a goal, a dream, a timeline, an outcome - THIS IS YOUR SIGN!! LET IT GO!!

not the dream itself. just the desperate grip you have on it.

do the work. show up. give it your best.

but release the obsession with controlling the how and the when.

trust that what's meant for you won't miss you. 💞🧿

and in the meantime? 
Breathe. Rest. Be kind to yourself.

you're closer than you think. ✨

p.s. what's one thing you need to let go of this year? tell me in the comments - let's hold each other accountable.

this is your only friday reminder: every “no” is bringing you closer to the “yes” that matters. 🥰🫶🏻

[ad] There's no worse nightmare than finding a sponsored job in the UK as an international student. 😭

And you know I'm the proof!!

Plus the new visa rules from the UK govt? Yeah, they're not helping. At all.

And LinkedIn… I love you… but we seriously need a sponsorship filter for international students like yesterday.

But here's the good news:

Turns out Poli has us covered with a dedicated portal for visa-sponsored jobs in the UK. 🤩

And honestly? Finding relevant roles has never been easier.

So come with me - let me show you exactly how I used Poli to hunt for that dream sponsored role. 👉

Poli Tutorial

Last week we saw how to tap into the hidden job market when companies aren't actively hiring.

But here's what I didn't tell you:

There's a whole other side to this. 

Companies that ARE hiring right now... but you'll never see the job posted anywhere.

Why? Because recruiters are done with job boards. 

They're tired of getting 500 applications from people who aren't even qualified.

So instead, they're searching LinkedIn directly for the perfect person. And if your profile isn't set up right? You're completely invisible to them.

Let me show you how to change that in pt 2. 👉✨

 Hidden Job market Pt 2

For the longest time in my UK career journey, I thought I was failing myself. 🥹

I was applying to 1000s of jobs. Networking with the right people. Making it to final rounds.

And then hearing: "Sorry, we cannot sponsor your visa."

Sometimes they'd add: "It's not your skills - we just don't have the budget."

I never knew if I should feel sad or proud.

But it made me realize:
YOUR VISA STATUS DOESN'T DEFINE YOU.

You can't control government rules or force companies to sponsor you.

But you CAN control your effort. Your strategy.

And I wish I had discovered Poli back then.

Because back then.. I was:

😭 Wasting hours on jobs that would never sponsor me
😭 Manually researching if companies even had licenses
😭 Networking blindly, hoping for referrals

It was exhausting. Inefficient.

With Poli in picture, everything changes:

🌟 19,000+ jobs at 2,200+ licensed sponsors - only companies that can legally sponsor you. LinkedIn has no visa filter. Poli does.
🌟 Smart company research - filter by CoS issued, company size, even when they were recently added to the register. Apply before others even know they're hiring.
🌟 Find the RIGHT people - 24,000+ employees at sponsoring companies, including people already being sponsored. Reach out for advice, intros, insights.

Look, Poli isn't magic.

You still have to do the work.

But it stops you from wasting time on dead ends and gives you clarity, strategy, and access to opportunities you'd never find otherwise.

If you're job hunting in the UK and need sponsorship:
Don't apply blindly. Be strategic. Be intentional.

Your visa status doesn't define you. But your strategy? That changes everything. 💞

you can't achieve anything if you're still trying to "get ready."

you can only achieve by starting. by taking action.

so I've always felt, that you can "learn by doing rather than watching"

for eg: if you watch 10 tutorials before trying something. just... try it. 

get your hands dirty. maybe fail. definitely learn. and document as you go.

it's messy. but it's also how you learn the fastest and built the most solid foundation.

so when a friend told me she'd just started applying for jobs and was feeling completely overwhelmed.. paralyzed, not knowing where to start - I GOT IT!!!

but here's what I told her:

procrastination disguised as "preparation" just brings anxiety.

ACTION is what brings clarity.

you don't need to have it all figured out before you start.

you don't need the perfect CV, the perfect strategy, the perfect linkedIn profile, or the perfect 5-year plan.

YOU JUST NEED TO START SOMEWHERE!!!

even if it's as simple as: 

👉🏻 Getting clear on what kind of role you actually want
👉🏻 writing down 5 companies that excite you
👉🏻 updating one section of your LinkedIn
👉🏻 sending one message to someone in your dream industry

that's it. that's enough to START!

because here's the thing:

when you keep staring at the bigger picture, you miss the details. you get overwhelmed. you freeze.

but when you start small? you build momentum. 
one small action leads to another.
and suddenly, you're not confused anymore.. you're moving.

because:

action beats anxiety.
action clears the fog and brings clarity.

you don't need to do everything at once. 
you just need to do one thing today.

so if you've been waiting to feel "ready" before you start your job hunt, your side project, your content journey, or whatever's been sitting on your mind...

THIS IS YOUR SIGN!!!

STOP PREPPING, START DOING!!

the clarity you're looking for? It's on the other side of action. 💞

p.s. what's one small thing you're going to do TODAY to move forward? drop it below - let's hold each other accountable. 🤝

Hot take: most job hunt advice is actually slowing you down. 🫠

People are out here stressing about 1-page vs 2-page CVs, overthinking follow-up emails, and believing myths that literally don't matter.

The truth? You need to stop listening to everyone and start finding what actually works for YOU.

Here are 5 job hunt myths you need to stop believing.
