Multi-disciplinary background

I am currently having a puzzle, on what and how to apply for the global talent visa, with my muti-disciplinary background. I have a PhD in Geophysics, an MBA and I am graduating from my M.sc in Fintech next month (September), I also have over 17 years working experience in the oil and gas sector in Nigeria, as a Senior Geoscientist. I have several publications in journals too. I am also an entrepreneur, in the Agro Allied sector for 12 years now. I am currently working on my first app in the Fintech sector. How do i optimally integrate my background, skillset and experience to be successful in my global talent visa application and which category will suite me best?

Hi @JoeKen19 I think you will fit the Business route.

Please go through the official TN guidelines to pick the 2 OCs that best suit your background and where you can provide the strongest quality evidence to succeed in all 3 criterias.

The question you first need to answer is if you have evidence to meet the criteria? If yes, then your application should show that you recently made a career change to tech. Based on your note, it appears you don’t have up to a year experience in tech. How will you get recommenders who know your work for more than 12 months?
