Your 7 years of work experience, even with multiple job changes, can strengthen your application for master's programs in the UK or New Zealand. Academic institutions and employers often value diverse experience as it shows adaptability and a broad skill set.

To maximize your chances, clearly explain how each role contributed to your skills and aligns with your academic goals. Present your job changes as intentional steps in your career development.

If you need help presenting your work history effectively, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
