Summer Term 2023
#Get Hired!
During the Summer term students here at Warwick understandably turn their focus towards their exams. The examination period runs throughout the entire term and so occasions to connect effectively with our students to promote your opportunities are more limited within this timeframe.
Our #Get Hired! campaign offers a carefully curated programme enabling you to meet students across this busy period and connect effectively through the events and activities available.
Get Hired!
This skills session programme runs from week 1-9 and aims to provide opportunities for students to meet with employers in our Student Opportunity Hub space and develop and hone the skills required to #Get Hired!
Sessions are available throughout the week and may be delivered as a structured workshop, informal drop-in or networking session, interactive activity or bookable one to one clinics. Where sessions are more suited to a virtual setting - virtual sessions may also be delivered. As part of the #Get Hired campaign employers should aim to contribute to the theme with suitable sessions including:
- CVs and Applications including Drop in CV and advice clinics
- Preparing for the Careers Fair (week 1 and 2 ahead of the Fair in week 3)
- Why is networking important and how to do it!
- How to succeed at virtual interviews
- Mock Interviews
- Making a good first impression
- Graduate job searching - where to start?
- What its like working for an SME
- Making applications to SMEs
- Meet the recruiter sessions - informal drop in sessions to simply talk and engage
- Summer preparation for Autumn recruitment
- Building a LinkedIn profile
If you would like to run alternative sessions to those listed please get in touch to discuss options - we welcome your involvement!
