SHARING
TALENT
A university education is no longer just about getting a good degree – and having a great time. It is also about standing out in an increasingly competitive, international jobs market. At the Business School, students are well-prepared for their careers, not only due to the excellent teaching they receive but also thanks to the many hours given by alumni to help them make career choices, understand the graduate job market and prepare for the assessments they will face during the recruitment process. Insight Talks
Mock Interviews
In this informal lunchtime series, business professionals give students a first-hand insight into their work and career. More than two thirds of these talks are delivered by Exeter alumni which gives students encouraging insights into where their degree could lead.
Do you remember your first job interview? Mock interviews are incredibly valuable, helping students to prepare for all aspects of the interview process, including company research, dress code, etiquette and practising real-life questions. Each student has one-to-one feedback from an experienced recruiter, 70% of whom are alumni.
“ P lease can we have more of these insightful events? They are hugely helpful, providing a unique perspective. It is inspiring to meet alumni in person and to hear how Exeter shaped their career path.” Recent feedback from a second-year student
“ Personally, the opportunity to attend mock interviews with industry professionals has been most beneficial for gaining a greater insight and understanding into interview protocol and the key skills graduate employers are looking for. It’s really great to have a support system that has helped guide me to my chosen career path.” Erika Kedvessy (3rd year Business AND Management)
