First year? You’ve just embarked upon your university experience and are trying to find your footing. Amidst the craziness of Fresher’s Week, I’m sure graduation and your future couldn’t be further from your mind.
However, try and spare a few thoughts on the matter. Do you really want to sell yourself short in final year without having any relevant experience in your field of choice? Surely it would be wise to build up your experience and knowledge throughout the duration of your degree? After all, your university experience begins now – make the most of it.
You’ll hear endlessly about fellow students’ plans for their placement years and you may quickly tire of the surplus supply of graduate info for those science and maths related routes. It can get annoying – don’t AHSS deserve placements? Shouldn’t we also benefit from recruitment fairs?
Well, I think so anyway.
Therefore, it is crucial to be fully aware of all the graduate recruitment and placement fairs which run throughout the academic year here at Queen’s. They not only benefit those following the STEM route, but also those students desiring a career in the arts, humanities and social sciences. These events will enlighten you on the wide-ranging career opportunities awaiting AHSS upon graduation, with many companies interested in students from any degree discipline.
From accountancy and finance to law or education, charity and council work to sales and marketing, there is certain to be something of interest found within Queen’s Graduate and Recruitment fairs. You may even find your future plans taking a turn as you discover new and exciting paths you had not thought of previously.
| This year, the fairs will run on three consecutive dates within October (18/19/20th) on the Queen’s campus, offering information concerning graduate jobs, placement opportunities, professional education and work experience. |
