French Video Editor looking to work in the UK – visa sponsorship advice?
Hello everyone,
I’m a video editor with 5 years of experience working in TV news, using Avid Media Composer.
I’m currently looking to work abroad, and I’ve been doing a lot of job hunting in London. However, as I’m French, it seems to be quite complicated due to visa sponsorship requirements.
I really want to make the move and I’m open to different opportunities, even starting as an assistant editor, ingest operator, or MCR operator, as long as there is an opportunity to grow into a video editor role afterwards.
I wanted to ask if any of you have advice or experience with this.
How does visa sponsorship usually work in the TV/media industry?
Is it better to contact companies directly, or should I mainly apply on LinkedIn?
Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated!
Best
