📢 Thrilled to Share My Experience on the SEEC Panel! Just had an incredible time participating in the SEEC panel discussion on "Gatekeeper Insights: Tips for Landing a Job or Internship." It was an enlightening session packed with invaluable advice from recruiters who play a pivotal role in shaping the early careers of young professionals. The diversity of panelists, representing both public and private sectors, added a rich depth to the conversation, especially for those directly involved with internship applicants. Their insights were beneficial and essential for students gearing up to step into the professional world. I was honored to contribute to this panel, focusing on a topic close to my heart – networking skills for students. It's not just about making connections; it's about cultivating them into long-term mentoring relationships that can guide and support students throughout their careers. The blend of perspectives provided a comprehensive guide for students and recent graduates. Whether it's crafting a standout application, acing an interview, or building a network that lasts, the knowledge shared was truly invaluable. A huge thank you to all the panelists Jamelia Smith and Anthony Spatola, Philip Vinson for moderating, Megan H., and students and attendees for a dynamic and engaging session. The interaction and eagerness to learn from both sides were truly inspiring. #SEECPanel #CareerDevelopment #InternshipTips #NetworkingSkills #Mentorship #ProfessionalGrowth #GTEconomics #ThisIsGTLiberalArts #StudentEngagement #StudentSuccess

Just wanted to leave a comment commending all of the efforts of The 93% Club. I've been looking for an organisation to champion social mobility and recognise the class gap for years. Growing up as a mixed raced person in one of the worst boroughs in London for knife crime, (in a school with a 27% GCSE pass rate) with strong working class roots, whilst also being the 1st of my family to go to university, I've always felt I was an outsider, classless even. Not posh or connected enough for one group, and a 'nerd' to the other. No one, but for a few good friends, saw me for ME. Or when I was accepted I was met with exceptions and caveats. It's not everyone's job to like you, and seeking familiarity in your peer group is a necessary part of being human. In a work and educational setting, however, we need to create an ecosystem where all intersectionalities, especially class and socio-economic, are considered. Class and socio-economic factors are often overlooked under the umbrella of DEI but are prevalent enough to command their own attention. From an economic standpoint, there has never been a greater need for giving (less giving and more getting out of the way of) people from underprivileged backgrounds a seat at the table. The untapped potential is an immeasurable waste! No call to action, just a point worth making.

Not getting a job you interviewed for is tough to take. But knowing how to bounce back even stronger is a great skill to have, and in this article, we show you exactly how you can do that! 💪 https://ow.ly/xNbO50QvTKH
