Career Essentials talks

What to expect

This series of lunchtime talks and experiential workshops led by our team of Career Consultants provide insight, advice and interactive opportunities to engage with all aspects of careers management and navigating selection processes, no matter where you are in your careers thinking.

Topics include:

  • Understanding the graduate job and postgraduate study market
  • Career decision-making
  • Effective networking
  • Writing successful applications
  • Mock aptitude tests and personality profiling
  • Interview success
  • Finding, funding and applying for a PhD
  • Getting to grips with LinkedIn and social media
  • Discussing disabilities and health conditions with employers

Career Essentials aims to equip you with the key know-how to begin to move forward and engage more confidently with 'Finding your Future'...

The programme of talks and workshops is repeated on a regular basis throughout the Autumn and Spring terms and again, post-exams, in the Summer.
