Hi everyone!
It's that time of the week again! The weekly round-up blog post is here. I have a few great things to share with you today, opportunities not to be missed and of course careers advice.
Let me start with this week's internship and graduate job opportunities:
Now, onto our most recent careers advice
Investment Banking
If you’re in your first year of university and have
toyed with the idea of an investment banking career when you graduate, it’s
essential that you act now. Read our article 'Why freshers should start preparing NOW for their investment banking career' to find out what opportunities are available to you and why
you should make the most of them.
Financial services and insurance
By maximising opportunities during and after
university, theology student Toby Wemyss climbed the corporate ladder at
insurance broker Willis International to become CEO – and it didn’t take him
too long! Read his story 'How I went from theology student to CEO at Willis International'
and find out what tips he offers young people who want to
enter the profession.
Marketing, Advertising & PR
If you’re considering a career
in marketing advertising and PR, then you’re going to need to get creative with
your applications. Are infographic CVs the way to go or is that just a gimmick?
How do you write the perfect opening line for a marketing covering letter? And
should you really go all out and advertise yourself on a public billboard? Get
the answers to all of these questions as well as comprehensive tips to improve
your CVs and covering letters with our guides. 'Writing a covering letter for graduate marketing, advertising and PR jobs'.
Law
In November, the latest batch of
law firms throw open their big shiny glass doors to applications for spring and
summer vac schemes. Competition is always tough, and the application questions
get harder and harder every year. Thankfully, no matter how hard the questions,
or how big the layer of ice on the pavement, TARGETjobs Law will always
be there to help. Check out our latest targeted advice on tackling the vac
scheme applications for major City firms Hogan Lovells and Clyde and Co.
Budding baby barristers can now
start practising and registering for the Bar course aptitude test (also known
as the BCAT). We’ve put together a complete run down of the latest vac scheme
deadlines, information on the legal profession’s pro bono week and a couple of
commercial awareness titbits including prosecutors from the Oscar Pistorius
trial and the British law graduate arrested in Iran. Check out our law news
update below for more information.
Postgraduate study
Scholarships and bursaries reduce the cost of postgraduate study and the burden of debt because they don't have to be repaid. So it's worth spending some time making sure you understand the different types of funding and the wide range of bodies that offer financial help. Have a read of our article 'Scholarships and bursaries explained'.
I recently wrote a new article for you all, it's called 'Eight essential items to take with you to your new job' check it out and let me know your thoughts.
That's all from me this week!
Enjoy your weekend!
Roxanne
