An experienced careers consultant will discuss with you the needs of your group and will design an engaging, interactive careers session to meet your group’s needs.

Typical subjects include CVs, applications, interviews, choosing a career and applying for internships. All you need to do is provide a location and promote the event to your members.

Planning a large scale event or a series of events? The careers service has extensive experience in managing careers events and a reputation for delivering a consistently high level of service and quality of information.

Once you have sketched out your initial ideas, we can help make sure your hard work isn’t wasted by:

• Brainstorming with you engaging workshop topics, competitions and activities
• Helping you decide when and where to schedule the event to maximise attendance
• Helping you develop an action plan (who you need to contact, rooms you need to book, resources you need to acquire, how you will promote the event, etc)
• Providing a careers consultant-run careers workshop for your event

Our aim is to empower you to make your event a success, so that you can go about sourcing and inviting speakers, designing the details of your sessions and managing the logistics with confidence.

If you have been approached by an organisation, such as a company, a recruitment agency or other initiative, the careers service can help you assess whether the organisation is offering genuine benefits to your group.

"Our members came out with skills that they can't get on the pitch or in the lecture theatre.”

Krissie Glover, RHUL Women's Football Club

"The careers service definitely added value to our event. They ran a workshop, gave us advice and helped to advertise our event across campus."

Nathan Nasrallah, Royal Marketing Society

"The careers service has provided a very high level of support to us when planning our events. I strongly recommend that societies engage with them to ensure successful events.”

Johannes Svanberg, Bright Futures and the Finance & Investment Society
