Big Talks, Graduate Advice and Styling For Interview Techniques.
Career Month 2021 saw us welcome back some of our favourite and most popular events to give all of our students some exclusive insight and advice from industry leaders. March’s theme was all about work experience, getting into business and graduate advice from our curated experts and below details more about our Career offering at Vita Student.
Debut Events
Vita Student Presents … Debut & QS talked careers and Masters programmes during and after the pandemic and how things changed.
The Covid pandemic caused a lot of students and graduates to pivot or re-think their careers. Why is that? It is a challenging time for a graduate jobseeker, going into a world of unknowns.
Businesses also had to adapt, some incredibly successfully and others not so much. This has changed the landscape of the job market both in terms of the volume and type of jobs available.
Debut & QS partnered up to talk about what kind of careers you can look for in this pandemic, and if you’re not ready and would rather continue studying, what higher education options are available to you.
We offered not only a useful seminar but also opened up the floor to a Q&A session after where our students could ask any questions they had about topics discussed.
FastFutures and BT
Vita Student Presents: Acing your job interview with FastFutures and BT.
Preparing for graduate interviews can be really difficult. There are so many people with similar resumes and skills that graduate every year, and given the pandemic, you can expect the market to be flooded with high performing talent.
So how do you make yourself stand out in this super competitive landscape?
Fast Futures came to speak about short courses and training programmes, as well as tips on preparing for job interviews during and after university. Confidence is key, and FastFutures spoke through some steps on how to present your best self during an interview. They were also joined by some learners on their training programmes, as well as a guest speaker from telecom giant BT.
