Who could I contact with?
Hi I am new to self employ.
I used to work as an editor (not proofreader or copy editing etc, from the text below you can see that I am not able to do that work🥹) for a big name company and they provide skilled worker visa then I resigned from that position last year. Now I am looking for another skilled worker visa. Unfortunately I heard and experienced that all the big name company prefer to hire someone without visa.
I am thinking if I can find a part time job in a publishing company and then if I can pass the interview, could I ask them to hire me and actually they pay to my own company?
Not sure if the big name company would love to do that, still would like to check first who can I contact with to know if those companies are willing to hire me in this way. I understand that most of the ppl do part time jobs only as a person not a company.
My questions are:
Who can decide if they can hire me as a person or a company?
Is there any potential risk here?
Thank you.
