Spotify
Netease Cloud, due to regional restrictions and copyright, there are still some songs in the UK that can not be listened to; it is necessary to download Spotify, and almost all the songs can be searched. The free version has a few seconds of adverts when you listen to a few songs, and if you want to upgrade to a member, there’s a 50% discount for students.
Facebook & Twitter
Powerful social platforms, if you want to integrate into local life as soon as possible, join local community organisations, second-hand market, you must be inseparable from “Facebook”, and Twitter will be more like domestic microblogging.
Instagram
Instagram is a social software mainly for young people, and we often say “ins style” comes from this super good-looking filter.
Finding Job
LinkedIn
If you want to find a job, you can use the school’s official Career service, but of course, if you are good at doing things on your own, you can get closer to success. LinkedIn can not only help you find a job to find alums but also, according to the settings, to help you recommend professional related companies, as well as executives and staff; networking should be established in advance to be one step ahead of others to find a satisfactory job.
Glassdoor
In addition to job opportunities, the most extreme is that the candidate’s interview questions will also be listed before the interview to see the Glassdoor comment section of the discussion will become confident and really high transparency; many employees personally evaluate the company to share, so that unscrupulous companies have no place to hide.
Targetjobs
Targetjobs clearly categorises numerous graduate scheme positions along with their respective deadlines, and it actively indicates whether they can provide visa sponsorship or not.
