Global Careers Jobs and Events’ Post

Tip on searching for post-graduate job opportunities as an international student. Insist on being included Your search does not start at the end of your post-graduate studies, or even a few months before. If you want to stay back to pursue a career in your chosen country in Europe, you should actively use all the tools you can access. One of them is the career fairs. I studied across three universities in three European countries with some of the biggest international student populations in Europe. While I enjoy most of my courses and class experience, my student support experiences including inclusion in career fairs were, at best, nonexistent. While there are schoolwide career fairs and job networking opportunities, they do not target the needs of international students in terms of accessibility. Even though many of these universities prided themselves in taking English programs, other things remain largely in the local language (Hopefully it’s different in the UK? Je ne sais pas). Many of these fairs and the companies present at the fairs also target local talents and have little interest in talking you through paper stuff -which is your biggest market barrier. This is not a fair deal since we know that international students contribute a lot to the sustainability of the education sector in Europe. If you are spending your money on this education, you should make sure every dime is well spent. One thing you can do differently is insist that your program organise sessions targeting your needs as international students, especially international students from the Global South. 1️⃣Intentional counselling sessions with counsellors who understand your needs and can give you tailored advise. 2️⃣Intentional networking sessions with companies who are willing to take international talents. 3️⃣English language career fair sessions IF your program is in English language. Having career fair sessions targeting international students will really go a long way since many of the organisations and employees who show up are often interested in local talents, and even if they were interested in you who is going to translate that session of the conversation to you? 😀 Ok don't insist. Persuade. Lobby. Organise yourselves together and come up with your own proposals for such events. Don’t expect anyone else to speak for your needs, not even your White classmates because they mostly have no idea about your peculiar challenges. You have to take the lead on this one. #jobsearch #jobsearchtips #internationalstudents #europejobs #postgraduates #diversityinhiring

⚠️Calling all current UCL students and recent graduates for your opinion: As Head of Guild Academy of UCL Guild, my team and I are planning to organise our first careers fair for students to learn more about different industries apart from those commonly discussed (e.g. banking, consulting etc.) and for companies to connect with potential graduate hires in mid-March. 💡For current students, are there any specific industries that you would like to learn more about? 💡For recent graduates, are you working in a field that you haven’t heard much about during your undergraduate studies? Would you have wanted to learn more about a specific industry if you were back in university? Comment below or send me a message if you have any suggestions so we can host the best careers fair for UCL students. Any opinion is much appreciated! 📧If you are an employer that would like to join the fair (completely for free!), please drop me a message as well.
