Section outline

    • Be curious – look around & ask lots of questions about jobs you see around you or read about.
    • Become more self-aware… What interests you? What do you enjoy; What are you good at? What do you not enjoy?
    • Continue to build work experience whether on campus or off… even if not directly relevant to a future career, it will definitely give you transferrable skills
    • Explore job options by attending career events and workshops
    • Take on extra roles- sit on a committee, be a course rep or QMUL student ambassador. 
    • Use the long summer break to get an advertised internship, or write to companies and try to set up your own.  www.studentladder.co.uk has a useful list of companies offering internships in diverse sectors from publishing to banking - remember to start looking in the early autumn of your 2nd year.  
    • The QMUL jobsboard  advertises individual internships with a wide variety of organisations, keep an eye on this from January onwards
