It feels strange writing this blog and trying to think back to early last year where I was just about to start the second semester of second year. It still felt like an eternity until having to juggle graduate job applications and trying to ace final exams, only to find that in fact, it was no time at all!
Starting to think about careers and where you want to go after uni is something that needs to be addressed sooner rather than later, and being able to practise the skills for a great interview, in a supportive environment with potential future employers, isn’t an opportunity that you come across every day!Having taken part in a mock interview and assessment centre with the Business School and the Employability Service’s ‘Prepare for Success’ event, I found it to be an invaluable experience. I cannot stress how useful it is to be told what’s great – and more importantly what could do with a bit of tweaking – concerning your interview technique before you’re released into the world of real graduate job interviews.Disclaimer
