Careers Information

Getting the most out of your careers team means more than just booking an appointment. While this is something you definitely can do, your careers team works really hard in other ways and brings you resources and information that will really help you develop your career.

It seems contradictory as a careers consultant to advise you to ‘embrace uncertainty’ and not to worry if you do not have a career idea or plan. Careers consultants spend a lot of time advising students to develop a plan and work towards a goal. It seems self-evident that you are more likely to achieve your career ambition if you plan it and take the appropriate steps to make it happen. But I have been struck over the years by how many successful alumni I have met who have said how unexpected and unpredictable their career journey has been.

Hi, I’m Jasmine, and I’m a Runner at the Factual Entertainment company, 72 Films. The word runner used to scare me as I always looked at it as being at the bottom of the ladder and I felt as if my years of videography experience accounted for much more than making teas and coffees. I had also come off a 6-week training programme at Sky Studios (more about this later), and I felt as if I was going backwards. However, after being at this company for nearly a year, I can now confidently say that running was the best thing that I could’ve done, and I’ll share the lessons I learnt along the way.
