What’s the point of the Careers Service?

Brand proposition

It’s a good question for any service to ask itself, and the best services always have a clear answer. Identitfying our purpose is useful because it gives us direction and impulse. To become the Careers Service ALL students use, we need to be very clear what we stand for, and we need to use that idea to drive and manage everything we do.

We believe in equipping students to build their own futures. We deliver all kinds of careers support to students, at all stages, in an approachable, pragmatic style. Why? Because when students are well equipped for their future, they are far more likely to succeed. Strapline

What we want to say?

Our main brand voice

Words are important to us all. But they’re particularly important to a university. Using words well isn’t so much about grammar (although UEA brand guidelines help here). It is about connecting with people – getting them interested and believing in what you’re telling them. It’s about having a voice with a sense of style and remembering the basics: make your message clear and don’t use jargon. We’ve captured some of these basics here.

Authentic

Addressing the user Address the user as ‘you’ where possible.

Every piece of writing is an opportunity to encourage readers to see things as they are. We think this helps people make their own decisions. .........................................................................................................

Approachable We’re professional and impartial, but that doesn’t mean we’re cold. We think chilly, functional prose will discourage readers that’s why we use short words and sprightly sentences. Our tone of voice is natural, warm and friendly. Not casual. That would be trying too hard. .........................................................................................................

Informed We know what we’re saying and we’re straight talking about what we think. But first we spare a thought for how it will sound – and feel – to the reader. .........................................................................................................

Responsive We’re confident enough to make something simple, even if it’s complicated. We like using innovative ways to communicate information and connect with readers.

Our ‘insider voice’. Students tell us they want to be told what to do and when. Our response is to create an ‘insider voice’, which works in partnership with the main brand voice described on p.5. The ‘insider voice’ annotates main text and headlines to signpost services and act as a call to action. It also shares interesting factoids of information. Positioned on the periphery of the main content, the ‘insider voice’ provides an additional layer of ‘in-the-know’ messaging. For the handwritten font and colour of the insider voice, see page 26. The writing style is more direct and shorthand, without need for punctuation. It is used sparingly, and thoughtfully to ensure content is specific and relevant.

Logo

This is the main identity for CareerCentral and does not carry any strapline. It is to be used on all communications both online (see section 4.01) and in print. When the strapline is needed on student-facing materials it will be used as shown on page 9. Hierarchy The UEA logo should always appear more prominently than the CareerCentral logo in communications. The UEA logo should follow brand guidelines as shown on p.16. There are a small number of exceptions to this rule, notably in purely student-facing merchandising materials. Guidance must be sought from the senior marketing team. File formats EPS vector files can be enlarged without loss of quality and should always be used for print. These and other formats such as tif, png or gif, which are more appropriate for use in Microsoft Office applications or on-screen use. See www.uea.ac.uk/mac/ publications/logosbrandguidelines/ cclogos. Versions CMYK – where 4 colour process is used. PMS – When Pantone colours are used. Black – for black-only printing RGB – for on screen applications.

Exclusion Zones

The logo requires space around it in order to maximize its visual presence. An exclusion zone around the logo prevents any graphic element from interfering with its integrity. The guidelines opposite show the logo exclusion zone. Please ensure no other graphic elements or text are placed within these zones. For both the vertical and horizontal lockups, the exclusion zone can be calculated by the distance from the top edge of the outer “C” to lower edge of the same “C”. The main logo can be used with strapline sitting outside the box as shown opposite. The strapline sits away from the bottom of the logo – at half the height of the “C” with the “FUTURE” lining up with the right-hand vertical of the logo, the “Y” of “YOUR” lines up with the left-hand vertical. Versions CMYK – where 4 colour process is used. PMS – When Pantone colours are used. Black – for black-only printing. RGB – for on screen applications.

Here are examples of how the “light arc” background is used to create a strong colour match to each Faculty within the UEA family. The light arc should be used at 50% opactity across the background whether that be image or blocks of colour as shown here.

Backgrounds THE LIGHT ARC The central shape of the marque is the source of the ‘light arc’, which captures a representation of light shining on pathways ahead to aspirational futures. These arcs are rooted in the aperture of the roundel developed as part of the new identity. They can be used to create variable background shapes/patterns to accommodate applications both online and in print. The arcs can change shape in order to accommodate and enhance the choice of imagery and typography for each design brief. This provides flexibility and should enable the design to remain fresh and dynamic.

Careers Staff / expert quotations A simple box motif can be used to contain highlighted quotes within grid layouts. These quotes can come from careers advisers, external experts and employers.

‘Our new online Careers Resources – available now – provide useful tools and advice to help build your future. MyCareerCentral is launching to students in Spring/ Summer 2014 and provides a single access point for careers services and information, including appointments, vacancies, events and resources.’

Boxed quotes The boxed quotes eminate from the roundel created from the main brand icon. To give quotes authenticity, link them to an illustration of the expert.

James Goodwin, Joint Head of Careers

See instructions for this illustrative treatment on p31 A faint drop shadow (see below) can be used to lift them off the page but this should be used sparingly and primarily when the infographic box is placed on a background colour that is similar or the same as the box itself.

OVERVIEW

Infographics

All infographics in core publications are to be presented in these styles. Statistics and information being drawn to the readers attention can be placed within the “Did You Know?” format as shown here. The roundel should always be shown in the same proportion and the underline should always be of the same thickness (2pt) though the length varies depending on the width of the copy shown. The text is always shown at 11/13pt. A call to action - when drawing the readers attention to a useful URL etc, is always shown on a yellow box as shown.

Illustrative style An illustrative style of imagery, which links to the ‘insider voice’ outlined on page 1.04 is used for portraiture of careers advisors, experts, alumni, employers, partners with accompanying quotes. See page 24 for examples of use. The illustrative style will only be used on editorial pages and should not be used for top level imagery choice for posters, brochure covers etc. The process in CS Photoshop is: GREYSCALE IMAGE > SKETCH > STAMP Be sure to choose a photograph with a high contrast to create this illustrative style and adjust Light/Dark balance and smoothness to complete the process before use.

Grid layout Typography should include as few as possible sizes of font. The hierarchy is introduced using differing weights as well as cases of the font. LIGHT ARCS The light arc eminating from the roundel is used to create the light effect that runs across the image. The background on the right has been created from a number of crossing arcs. This should be used sparingly to create clean, simple backgrounds. Using photography The grid follows the UEA main guidelines. The variety of formats are restricted. The background can be used in an opaque colour to create an apperture within which photographs can be presented.

How to prepare Get ready for interview by finding out as much as possible about the job. Research the role, the organisation, and, if possible, speak to people already doing the type of work you are interested in. Good preparation will also help you know if this is the right job for you.

Before the interview Make sure you know: Research the job Visit the organisation’s website, read related press articles and build your general knowledge of current affairs. You will be expected to know about the sector and business context the organisation is operating within.

How long is your interview? -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Will there be tests or group exercises? -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Who will be interviewing you? -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you need to take anything? -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Find further information on how to develop your commercial awareness on our website, via your school Blackboard site, or visit us at CareerCentral. If you have applied for postgraduate study or a research position, look at the university department’s website and find out about the staff, key research interests, publications, ratings and awards. What to wear Look smart for your interview, but you also need to feel comfortable so that you can relax and wear something business-like, but if you wear a suit you can always take the jacket off if you feel overdressed. Decide what to wear well in advance; try it on and make sure it’s clean.

How to get there

What to take – The invitation to interview letter with the address and phone number of the company or person you are meeting. – A map or directions. – Copy of your CV and application form. – A list of key points you want to make and any questions you want to ask.

Work Experience

‘No UK university would deny that unpaid internships are on the increase. In occupations such as journalism or PR, they have been commonplace for many years, but this doesn’t make them right. Before you decide to go ahead, consider the National Council for Work Experience guidelines.’

Aside from advertised opportunities, it’s also possible to arrange your own work experience. It’s an excellent way to add value to your CV and helps you test out a career idea.

Janka Rodziewicz, Internship Officer

National Council for Work Experience guidelines: – Discuss the purpose of the internship and clarify expectations from the start. -----------------------------------------------------------------

– Ensure the placement is valuable. Does it give insight into a particular industry? Will it improve certain skills or clarify career aspirations? -----------------------------------------------------------------

What is it? – High profile internships can be very competitive and may expect you to have already acquired work experience. Equally, they may not be widely available in the industries that interest you. – You can address this by approaching organisations directly and expressing your willingness to work for them. – Based on the employer’s requirements you will often have flexibility to negotiate time commitments and responsibilities.

– Re-consider the value of the internship if it ceases to supply useful contacts and training opportunities. -----------------------------------------------------------------

– Everyone has a choice and if the balance between valuable work experience tips into exploitation then it is up to you to decide whether to continue or not.

– Discuss the possibilities of any future paid work with the employer, pointing out the skills that you have gained during the internship.

Editorial layout Fact Sheets

Volunteering Overseas Volunteering opportunities overseas include working holidays, developmental work experience or travel and work combinations. They are offered by both profit making and non-profit making organisations.

Thinking of volunteering abroad? Check the following details carefully before applying to volunteer abroad. 1. What legal status does the organisation have? Is it a charity, NGO or not-for-profit organisation, or is it a profit-making company? All of these can be legitimate, but the status should be made clear on the information provided to you. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Is it registered in the UK or in another country? It is usually better to go through an organisation that is either registered in the UK or in a country that has a similar legal system, in case of any problems. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Who owns and manages the organisation? Who are the patrons? You should look for recognised names, and use the internet to research background and references.

Other sources of information

4. Does the organisation charge you to volunteer? There is often an administration fee, which can vary from £100 to £2,000 or more. Check out what it includes: visas, flights, incountry travel, medical insurance, vaccinations, administration, accommodation, food? Is it reasonable for what you are getting?

These organisations provide either advice and/or a directory of voluntary work opportunities overseas. Although they provide no guarantees, they do audit the organisations that advertise in the directories and thus have some safeguards for volunteers.

World Service Enquiry www.wse.org.uk

– The UK Dept for International Development (DFID) www.dfid.gov.uk/ics funds volunteers to go overseas on short term projects with Restless Development, International Citizen Service, Skillshare International, Progressio, Voluntary Service Overseas and Tropical Health and Education Trust. Some volunteers are eligible for free places.

If in doubt ask for more details; if the organisation won’t answer your questions stay well away.

Here are some organisations that charge relatively low or no fees to volunteers:

– UNA Exchange

www.unaexchange.org

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

– Ecoteer

www.ecoteer.com

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Get the most out of it Think about your purpose and what you want to get out of the experience. Is it just to have some fun and travel experience or to learn new skills and build up relevant work experience? If you decide to volunteer overseas you need to use your judgement combined with the advice above.

Other important considerations - Will you have enough money to live on whilst you’re away, or to get home if anything goes wrong? - Do you know what the communication facilities are where you will be living, and have you set up contact arrangements for family and friends before leaving?

– Wwoof

- Do you know how to keep safe in the town/area and country you are visiting? Do a personal risk assessment covering personal safety, common types of crime, prevalence of road accidents, common illnesses, dangerous animals or plants, food hygiene etc. - Have you thought about ethical issues with your travel? What problems might come about due to cultural, economic, political, social or gender-based differences? Also look at the environmental impact you may be making.

NB: by providing this list UEA does not endorse these organisations, or imply that they are in any way better than others.
