I quit my job to help you find yours | 70+ MAD stories & counting | Attend my free webinar to access the AI job search system that works.

My job search in the UK was exhausting. 

↳ Got ghosted. Rejected. Ignored.
↳ Applied easily to 1000+ jobs.
↳ Secured 17 interviews. 
↳ Converted 1 offer. 

Turns out, the problem wasn’t my skills.
It was my system.

International students are stuck in a broken job search loop:

- Paying “career coaches” £1000s for fluff
- Generic CVs and cover letters
- 100s of auto-rejections

That’s why I built Unimad.

Not a “template” library.
Not another course.

But a full-stack job search system built by international students—for international students. 

Today, 1000s of students use Unimad.
70+ have landed jobs in the UK, US, & Ireland.

If you want a AI career coach—try unimad.ai

If you wish to work 1-1 with me, DM Unicoach and let’s make you unignorable.

I didn’t come all the way abroad to end up working at KFC or McDonald’s.

This is the fear no one says out loud, but almost every international student has felt.

You see:

Rent due
Visa days ticking
Rejections piling up

And suddenly, any job starts to look better than no job.

Here’s the problem:

When panic takes over, you stop thinking like a professional and start thinking like a survivor.

You start:

Applying to anything and everything
Losing years in jobs you never wanted
Saying yes to roles that don’t match your skills

I’m not against part-time or survival jobs.
I’m against you getting stuck there.

Unimad is the bridge between “I’ll take whatever I get” and “I get exactly what I deserve.”

You didn’t move countries to just survive.
You came to build a career.

Unimad is to make that path real.

I used to wake up at 5 am and apply for jobs. 

This used to be my UK routine for the entire year.

One day I felt super tired and didn’t want to wake up that day.

But I eventually did.
Scrolled through a job listings, half-doubting anything would come of it.

Then I saw it. A startup role that felt different.

Super interesting, but honestly, I thought, “Am I even going to get this?”

Still, I applied. Reached out to the recruiter.

Next day, I was on a call with him.

2 days later, a call with the CEO.
10 days after that, second round.

A week later, I had my offer.
Here’s the wild part:

I lost 343 days to rejections, silence, and self-doubt.
But on Day 344, I landed the job that changed everything.

What did I learn?
You have to keep going, no matter how you feel, no matter the outcome.

All the good things?
They’re waiting on the other side of the grind.

Grind is the only constant.

Are you showing up?

Heaviest sentence an international student carries is,

I can’t tell my parents I still don’t have a job.

Every video call turns into:

Any updates?
How are the applications going?
You smile. You say, “Yeah, I’m trying.”

But inside, there’s guilt, shame, and a quiet fear:
What if I actually go back home with nothing?

We don’t talk about this enough. It’s not just about:

Resumes
Cover letters
LinkedIn

It’s also about:
Your parents’ savings
Your visa countdown
Your own identity

Unimad was born from this exact pain.

I went through the same thing:
1000+ applications. 17 interviews. 1 offer.

The whole platform is built so you don’t have to figure it out alone:

Clear step-by-step structure
Tools to build your resume, portfolio, LinkedIn, emails, VPD
A system that turns “I’m trying” into “Here’s my plan”

And if you want someone to literally build it with you, that’s what Unicoach is for,
A 1:1 done-for-you version of the same system.

You don’t owe your parents instant success.
But you do owe yourself a real strategy.

Would you agree to this?

I’ve applied to 100+ jobs and still haven’t got a single call back.

If you’re an international student abroad, you’ve probably said this to yourself at least once.

So you:

Fix your resume using a random template
Change a few bullet points
Apply to 20+ more jobs
Pray something clicks

And when it doesn’t, you quietly start thinking: 
Maybe I’m just not good enough.

Here’s the hard truth:
You’re not the problem. 
Your system is.

Most students are stuck in this loop: 
Hope → Random applications → Ghosted → Self-doubt → Guilt → Repeat.

You don’t need more “motivation”. 
You need a system that works for you.

If this feels like your life right now, it’s not a sign to give up. 
It’s a sign to stop doing it alone.

That’s why Unimad is free.

Because the system should be accessible to every international student who took the risk to move abroad.

You deserve a mad story tell.

Would you agree?

Hitesh lost 20 interviews before he landed an offer. 

Here's his story. MSc in the UK.

Planned everything except the 1,580 rejections.
His spreadsheet went from 10 applications to 1,500+.

Every “unfortunately” chipped away at him. There were nights where going back to India felt easier than sending one more application.

Two shifts changed everything:

1️⃣ We built a Value Proposition Document (VPD) for him.

Not just a CV, but a clear breakdown of:
Problems his desired role was solving
His solutions for the problems
His 30-60-90 day plan
Why he fit the culture

2️⃣ He stopped only “fixing the CV” and started upgrading himself with clarity, positioning, mindset.

12 months. 20 interviews. 5 final rounds.
One email: “We would like to offer...”

This is why Unimad.ai exists:
to give students like Hitesh a system that helps them stand out before they hit 1,580 rejections.

DM VPD and I’ll send over the VPD that helped Hithesh convert his job.

LinkedIn doesn’t work. I posted once and no one cared.

If that’s your experience, you’re not alone.

Most students think LinkedIn is just:

A place to upload your resume
Send a few connection requests
Maybe post “Open to Work” once

Then they see others getting:

Referrals
Interview calls
DMs from recruiters

And they think, “Maybe personal branding is for influencers, not people like me.”

Here’s the reality: LinkedIn is not about being an influencer.

It’s about being visible.
That’s why we built Unimad.ai to:

1) Rewrite your headline and About section so recruiters instantly know what you bring. 

2) Help you generate content ideas and posts that show your skills, not just say them.

3) Craft DMs and comments that don’t feel cringe or desperate. 

You don’t have to become a content creator. 
You just need a simple, consistent way to show proof of your value.

Unimad gives you that structure for free. 
Because being seen shouldn’t be a luxury feature.

If you’ve ever felt invisible on LinkedIn, it’s not because you’re not talented.

It’s because no one told you how to build a brand.

That’s what we do. Check out unimad.ai

I can do this myself using ChatGPT.

Honestly? You’re right.

You can generate:

A resume
A cover letter
A LinkedIn summary

But here’s the catch: 
Most students don’t have a system to plug those outputs into.

So they end up with:

5 random cover letters
10 different resume versions
A LinkedIn profile that still doesn’t attract anyone

And no idea what’s actually working.
Unimad is not “just another AI tool.”

It’s a personal branding system built specifically for international students to stand apart in this job market.

We use AI, yes. But more importantly, we give you:

A dashboard to track everything
A step-by-step flow so you’re not guessing what to do next

A clear framework: 
from resume → LinkedIn → portfolio → VPD → interviews

AI can write words.
Unimad builds your career story.

That’s the difference.

You in?

Make your resumes stand out for free.

Not just 1 or 2. Build unlimited resumes for free. 

Yes you heard that right. Check out Unimad.ai

Watch the video to see how easy it is to build a resume that’s unignorable.

Repost so it reaches other job seekers in your network.

People like me don’t get noticed.

Read that again.

For many international students, this isn’t just a thought.

It’s a belief built from:

- Accent anxiety
- Background
- Visa status
- Rejections

So they:

Stop posting
Stop networking
Stop reaching out

Because deep down, they’ve accepted the story that they’re “less than”.

Unimad was created to attack this belief at the root.

We don’t just help you “look good on paper.”

We help you show your value clearly. 

When you see your own story structured like this, something shifts:

You stop asking, “Am I good enough?” 
You start asking, “Which company deserves this version of me?”

You’re not invisible.
You’re just undiscovered.

Unimad can help you change that.

Check out unimad.ai

Your work deserves better than a Google Doc.

Your portfolio isn’t just a showcase, it’s your story.

Welcome to EP-4 of our UI Walkthrough Series.

AI-powered, no-code, and designed to make you look as good as your work.
Build a profile that’s stupid to ignore.

Not the best way to land a job.
That’s the only way to land a job.

Would you agree?

I wish someone just told me exactly what to do step by step.

If you’ve ever thought this during your job search, you’re not lazy.

You’re overwhelmed.

Right now, your brain is juggling:

LinkedIn
Rejections
Job boards
Assignments
Visa deadlines
Part-time shifts
Family expectations
Of course you’re tired.

That’s literally why Unimad exists.

Instead of: “Figure it out somehow.”
We give you a proven AI system.

Step 1: Upload your resume or answer a few questions
Step 2: Get a role-specific resume
Step 3: Build your portfolio and LinkedIn from guided prompts
Step 4: Generate cold emails, cover letters, and VPDs for your target companies
Step 5: Prepare for interviews with tailored questions and answers

Everything in one place. No 20-tab chaos. No guessing.

And if you want someone to literally walk the path with you, that’s what Unicoach is for, we build the entire system for you, 1:1.

You don’t need another “10 tips to get a job abroad” thread.

You need a roadmap.
Unimad is that roadmap,
built by people who’ve lived your story.

Sign up and start building your profile now. 

PS: You got nothing to lose and everything to gain.
