Indian Student, In Desperate Bid To Stay In UK, Offers To Work Without Salary
An Indian woman, who is living in the UK, has appealed to recruiters to hire her without a salary for a month.
She even added that they could fire her on the spot if she didn’t match their expectations for the role.
But why is she desperate for a job?
Well, the woman has only three months to find a job or she will have to return home.
The post gained the attention of many social media users, who criticised her.
According to her LinkedIn post, the Leicester-based student moved to the UK for higher education in 2022.
The woman who was looking for design engineering roles said that she was unable to secure a role, despite 300 applications.
In her LinkedIn post, she wrote, “Hire me for free for one month.
If I don’t deliver, fire me on the spot, no questions asked.
My Graduate Visa EXPIRES in 3 months, repost this to help me stay in the UK,” she pleaded on LinkedIn.
She added, “The job market feels like there’s no value for me, my degree, or my capabilities.
I have applied to 300+ jobs and got a handful of useful feedback.
”
On top of this, the Indian student also promised to work overtime and without holidays, just so she could stay in the country.
“I’ll work 12 hours per day and 7 days a week to prove my worth,” she wrote.
The student’s post caught the attention of social media users on Reddit and Linked In who criticised her for setting a poor example.
Sharing his views, a Reddit user wrote, “12 such candidates for 12 months and the company’s golden.
Zero salaries given and free labour.
These folks don’t realize the level of harm these kind of posts do.

Some empathised with her and shared that it might be because of the student loan she is trying to find a job in the UK so desperately.
A user noted, “I couldn’t imagine what’s going through her mind right now, in 30 days she has to get a job or else it’s back to India with a huge loan to repay.
