Session
1 – Roadmap to Career
Opportunities.
The aim of the
first session is to offer students an overview of the wide range
of opportunities
and career paths they may follow after their degree, both in academia,
in IT and outside. Various representatives from different job
sectors will be present to describe their experience. Want to know
more? The UCL Careers Service organises various
events/fairs of high interest to computer science students (e.g.,
investment banking fair, engineering fair, IT and Technology fair). Check
out
this year's programme.
Session 2 – CV Writing for
IT and Internship Applications. The
aim of the second
session is twofold: to teach students the art of CV writing, and to
explore online applications. The CV writing part will be specifically
targeted to IT careers.
General
CV writing information is
available on the UCL Careers Service
website, together with plenty of other
useful
careers-related information.
Session 3 – Preparing for
Interviews and Assessment Centres.
The aim of the last
session is to prepare students for interviews, both from a technical
and non-technical perspective. Various recruiters from industry
will be present to give their hints and tips. Mock interviews will be
conducted in small groups, lead by a real employer.
