MEET THE EMPLOYERS: Key Takeaways From Our Session
Here is what our employer guests learned from meeting our community👇

🎬 Maisie Mitchell — Film & TV
Takeaway:
“I recognised the same feelings I sometimes have in my own career — sending messages, applying, not hearing back, wondering if anyone sees you. You reminded me how much persistence matters.”

Advice:
“Talk to people directly as much as you can. Knock on doors, follow up, keep going. Eventually, someone opens.”

👩‍⚕️ Dayinsola Oye — NHS Southwark
Takeaway:
“You helped me realise how much knowledge and experience I actually have.”

Advice:
“Be brave, start conversations, open up. Everyone has something meaningful to offer — it begins with speaking out.”

🍔 Pete Sharman — Founder of THIS
Takeaway:
“I realised how much I take for granted — understanding the UK job system, the networks, the cultural shortcuts. Hearing your stories gave me a new respect for how hard it is to rebuild everything from scratch.”

Advice:
“Be proud of what you’re doing. Most people who lived here all their lives would be amazed if they stopped to think how difficult this journey is. Use your resilience — it’s a strength.”

🎥 Sue Mitchell — BBC
Takeaway:
“We often think our industry is hard to enter. But hearing what you’ve already done — and how you refuse to give up — shows the scale of the challenge you face and the determination you carry.”

Advice:
“Your effort is enormous, and it matters. Stay persistent — you’re already doing the hard part.”

🤝 Vicky Scott — Tower Hamlets CVS
Takeaway:
“I see how much many of you are struggling — but even more, I see your passion and determination.”

Advice:
“Keep going. With this kind of drive and clarity of purpose, you will get where you want to be. It’s always rewarding in the end.”

🌍 Amy Nicholson — Director (Futures), Crowd DNA
Takeaway:
“I kept asking myself what I would do differently in your place. And the answer was clear: don’t focus on what you’re not.”

Advice:
“Double down on who you are. Qualifications matter, but what truly stands out is face-to-face connection. Your stories, your values, your expertise — that’s your power. Show it.”

🇺🇦 Оплачуваний досвід = easy peasy!
Не “нудна робота”, а щось цікаве, з можливістю доторкнутися до справжніх скарбів та відкрити несподівані зв’язки зі спадщиною Європи. ✨

Цього разу учасники Facework Ukraine долучилися до виставки Magna Carta 1225 у Society of Antiquaries of London і допомогли не просто перекласти, а адаптувати путівник українською мовою, зробивши його доступним для нашої громади в Лондоні. Тепер виставка звучатиме соловʼїною💛💙

🙏 Особлива подяка Michelle Johansen, яка запросила нас до співпраці й дала українцям шанс здобути оплачуваний досвід.

Її слова: “Це фантастично. Дякую чудовій команді перекладачів. Гід стане частиною онлайн-виставки 2026 року.”

🎉 А вже цього тижня наших перекладачів запрошено як VIP-гості на святкуватимемо події The Age of Magna Carta.

📍 Радимо і вам відвідати виставку, яка відкрита до 19 вересня.

🇬🇧 ✨ Grateful for the power of community!

When the Society of Antiquaries of London @socantiquaries asked us for help, we brought together translators, lawyers, historians & experts in international relations. And wow — our team delivered! 💪💫

This summer, we joined the Magna Carta 1225 exhibition. Our Facework Ukraine participants translated & adapted the exhibition guide into Ukrainian — making it accessible for our community in London for the first time. 💛💙

Huge thanks to brilliant Michelle Johansen, who made this possible & gave Ukrainians paid work experience. Her words:
“𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙛𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘. 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙤 𝙢𝙪𝙘𝙝 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙢 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙨. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙜𝙪𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙖𝙡𝙨𝙤 𝙛𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙘𝙤-𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙚𝙭𝙝𝙞𝙗𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙡𝙖𝙪𝙣𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙣 2026.”

🎉 We can’t wait to celebrate at the Age of Magna Carta event as VIP guests this week!

📍 Don’t miss your chance to visit before 19 September.
❤️ From the bottom of my heart — highly recommend!

#meetemployers #recap

🇺🇦 На нашій зустрічі з роботодавцями ми говорили про процес найму в їхніх компаніях та як #LinkedIn може скоротити шлях до працевлаштування.

👉 Hiuman Wong, менеджерка з продажів у @checkout_com , розповіла, що її п’ять останніх посад знайшли її самі — завдяки активності в найбільшій професійній мережі. Головне — бути щирим(ою) і ділитися досягненнями.

Вона також поділилася порадами, як увійти в конкурентні сфери, зокрема #fintech, і чому пристрасть іноді важливіша за досвід.

👉 Helena Izamis, менеджерка з розвитку талантів у @mulalleyandco , поділилася інсайдом зсередини великої компанії та наголосила: гнучкість і навчання — ключ до адаптації.

👉 Shayan Asherizadeh, директор @asher_design_build , надихнув своїм підходом: важливі не тільки скіли, а й бачення, мислення та готовність зростати.

🇬🇧 At our Meet the Employers session, we talked about hiring processes across industries — and how #LinkedIn can be your shortcut to landing the right job.

👉 Hiuman Wong, Sales Manager at #Checkout.com, shared that her last 5 roles found her — thanks to being active and authentic on LinkedIn. Just show up and tell your story.

She also gave tips on entering competitive sectors like #fintech and explained why passion can matter just as much as experience.

👉 Helena Izamis, Senior Talent & Development Manager at #Mulalley, gave us an insider’s view into hiring and onboarding in large organisations, especially in construction and infrastructure — and stressed the power of adaptability and learning.

👉 Shayan Asherizadeh, Director at ASHER Design & Build, inspired with his entrepreneurial mindset, highlighting how he hires not just for skills, but for vision, thinking, and growth potential.

Dear friends,

Join us this Friday at 6:30pm for the closing soirée of Pavel Otdelnov’s exhibition Scenes from a Nightmare — with the artist in attendance.

We’ll gather by the banks of the Cherwell at Wolfson College for drinks, art, and end-of-term reflections (weather permitting). As announced during our event with Ekaterina Schulmann, limited-edition t-shirts featuring Otdelnov’s Swan Lake — signed by the artist — will be available for purchase.

This is the final ONRS event of the academic year, so don’t miss your chance to toast the term with us in style. And who knows — perhaps the day when Swan Lake returns to Russian federal TV is not too far off…

See you there,
ONRS

My exhibition "A Child in Time" at APT Gallery has come to an end. I am deeply grateful to my friends who helped me and to everyone who came to see it. I was truly happy to see you all. For those who couldn’t make it, I will try to share the experience through photos and stories in my upcoming posts.
