I was able to study in the library or from home and it was quite easy to work two jobs whilst doing my studies and placement. I had the opportunity to get involved with extra-curricular activities such as attending the NSU Women’s Conference and participating in a focus group about the development of university’s students’ association. When I was offered an job interview I contacted the university’s careers team who organised a mock interview and helped me to practice answers to questions I didn’t have direct industry experience. They taught me how to offer an example of a transferrable skill in these situations. I was successful at the interview and am now employed as an administrator where my role encompasses all areas of client servicing, gathering and analysing information, report writing, diary management and appointment preparation. I am also heavily involved in marketing, designing adverts and printed media as well as developing our social media pages.
