Another day, another guest lecture.
Jane McAllister, a careers development specialist from Birmingham City University, delivered a lecture on the issues we may face when we leave university, skills employers are looking for and advice for securing the best possible outcome in interviews.
The information we learned was of great help, especially those regarding skills and advice we need for preparing for a good interview. We were shown a brief film which documented two students who were applying for the same graphic design job. Though it's slightly dated, 90's humour was a little irrelevant in terms of the jobs we were looking for, the information we gained was insightful.
The thought of leaving university is a BIG deal for most (especially me, who feels slightly sick at the thought of leaving.) and therefore, understanding what practices we need to undertake to make ourselves as employable as possible is essential. Thanks to Jane, i now know this.
