Hi all,

I hope you are well and enjoying the warmer weather now that assignments are all in. This is the last newsletter you’ll get from me, as I’m leaving QM; you are a fantastic group of students, and it has been a pleasure working with you. Heather Barsam, currently the Careers Consultant for SLLF, will be taking my place; she comes with great experience and I’m leaving you in great hands!

Below there is the normal round up of opportunities and events, but remember there are loads more opportunities and events on Careers Hub (https://qmul.targetconnect.net), as well as the link to book in for appointments. I hope you find it useful, and all the very best of good wishes for your very bright futures.
