Take advantage of our Launch Offer and save ÂŁ120You were told a UK degree would open doors... but nobody told you how to get through them
You made the move. You passed the exams. You studied hard, adapted fast, and made your family proud. But now, when it really counts, you’re stuck:
- You don’t know which companies actually sponsor work visas
- You keep being told you don't have the right work experience to secure a graduate job
- You’re unsure how to tailor your CV for UK recruiters
- You keep hearing silence after your applications
- You’re watching your classmates land interviews… while you’re still struggling
And no one seems to be able to give you a straight answer: not your university, not your friends, and definitely not YouTube.
You’re smart, capable, and ambitious. But without the right guidance, your hard work can go unnoticed.
Worse, the clock is ticking. Visas expire. Opportunities slip by. Confidence fades.
You need a roadmap, someone who has walked it themselves and guided others on the journey...
...that’s where UKey and UGCA come in
Nice to meet you!
I arrived in the UK in 2008 as an international student, I studied Economics at the University of Manchester. Since then, I had a successful 10 year career at PwC London, earned an MBA from the University of Oxford, and worked as a strategy consulting manager at McKinsey.
I know the pressure to succeed that is placed on international students. The time, investment and sacrifice. Family expectations to make the most out of this opportunity you were given. You try hard and do your best - but sometimes that is not enough.
Ever since I started my career, IÂ mentored university students just like you to help them secure their dream jobs after graduation. IÂ advised on CVs, skill building and interview prep whenever somebody reached out to me for help. I wanted to be the person I wish I had when I was starting out.Â
I was involved in PwC and McKinsey recruitment, speaking at campus events, mentoring (McKinsey's Make Your Mark and Future Talent), carrying out interviews and ACs. I helped hundreds of students, from undergraduates to MBAs, secure their dream jobs in the UK.
Mentorship and coaching has always been my favourite part of the corporate journey. And this is why I created UKey, Your key to the UK: to continue doing what I love and see others succeed.Â
"Mary walked me through how recruiters actually read, why my formatting was working against me, and how ATS tools rank applications.
She cut the noise and helped me frame my experience around the skills target roles truly screen for. I left with a one page CV that finally felt like me and a clear plan for interviews and applications.
It felt like having a coach who genuinely cares and is willing to support you all the way. "
- Mikaal,  University ofÂ
Loughborough
"Mary is a fantastic career coach, with an empathetic approach and a focus on honest feedback.
She helped me lean into my strengths, which has been genuinely empowering."
- Victor H, London Business School
"Mary combines sharp insight with targeted, granular feedback across the entire application process (CVs, cover letters through to interview prep).
Her consistent ability to pose thoughtful, guiding questions helped spark deep reflection during and beyond my MBA journey.Â
Her generosity, energy, and ability to go above and beyond are truly inspiring, and I would encourage anyone to seize the opportunity to connect with her."
- Anurag R, University of Oxford
