Reply To: When applying for jobs in the UK, how can candidates with limited local experience turn their international background into an advantage?

Hi Ghiyath, I couldn't agree more with Rosie. You sound like you have a really impressive background. Data-driven story telling, managing diverse teams and use of human centred design are all really sought after, relevant skills here in the UK. When applying carefully consider the essential criteria and use the cover letter to show tangible examples of how you meet it. If you meet any of the desirable criteria, make sure to indicate that  too.  Employers want to see clear evidence of your experience and how it meets what they are looking for, as set out in the JD. Having an international background should only enhance that experience. Good luck!
