Su’s thought leadership in the tech sector was instrumental in demonstrating her leadership, influence and impact. Her significant contributions at Google, Microsoft and product led digital technology companies were also crucial in securing her GTV.
Su’s Top Tips were
- Define a strategy – Within the guidance, lock down your Mandatory and Optional Criteria early based on what you have done;
- Draft your Personal statement last;
- Assess your evidence. It’s better to have 2 strong evidences vs 4 weak ones;
- Try to have evidence that can be verified by an external authority; and
- Start preparing early
The Global Talent Visa process requires candidates to look beyond their day to day work and make a significant impact that advances the tech sector, lead and build communities and show thought leadership in the tech sector.
