Farhoon Asim – Founder & CEO of The UK Job Institute
I arrived in the UK in 2016 with ambition but no roadmap. After hundreds of rejections, I finally secured my first UK job at KPMG and learned what it truly takes to build a career as an international student.
Years later, I helped scale a fintech startup from £6 million to £20 million in annual revenue. In 2023, I took a £7,000 personal loan and built a global career community that generated $1.1 million in 12 months and helped more than 150 students secure visa-sponsored jobs in the UK.
In 2025, I founded The UK Job Institute — a platform built by international students, for international students. Our mission is to make UK career success simple, structured, and achievable.
I failed, learned, and rebuilt — and now I’m sharing everything I wish I knew when I started. Because your background should never define your ceiling.
