Starting your career journey: what, where, how?
The first stage in a career journey begins with self-assessment (evaluating your skills, needs and career values) and researching the sector and companies you want to work with.
Informational interviewing
An informational interview involves talking with people who are currently working in your field of interest to gain a better understanding of the occupation or industry and more importantly to build a network of contacts in that field over a period of time (usually a year). This can also be used to gain valuable information for your dissertation.
Using social media for career success (LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, blogs, etc.)
In this day and age, we witness the increased use of social media - not only in our personal but professional lives.
Building your personal brand and networking
In this workshop, you will understand the concepts of creating your 'personal brand' and understand how to create networks for career success.
