Get Yourself Hired…
At LSE we are in the midst of ‘Milkround’ season – with graduate recruiters on campus virtually every day. Busy times indeed…
However for readers of this blog who might looking beyond graduate schemes, or are still less than certain about what to do next I thought it could be useful to flag up some resources for ‘finding out more about yourself’. We’ve been working on new area of our website which focuses on just that, and also career planning in general. It’s an open access area, so available to LSE Alumni, whenever they may have graduated. Take a look, follow up some of our suggestions, and let us know what you think.
In the same spirit of ‘active career research’ (ie. doing things that help you find a job). It could be worth taking a look at a couple of areas on the BBC website. I tried out their CV quiz today and was relieved to get full marks – see if you can match my score. You can also try the ‘Get Yourself Hired‘ Test, which aims give you some personal insight and also enable “researchers to build a better picture of employment prospects for young people, and find out what makes a successful jobseeker.”
As ever, if you’d like to discuss quiz results (careers focused ones only please!), jobseeking strategies or life after LSE then drop us a line
