I would like to introduce myself as the new Career Development Adviser for SASS. It is great to see so many of you are already embedding employability into the curriculum and I would like to offer my services to help expand on this and support you with activities such as:
- Workshops with practical advice on CVs, cover letters and applications
- Advice on finding job opportunities in different sectors
- Exercises for understanding skills and expressing them to employers
- Employer networking events
- Assessment Centre and Interview Practice Workshops
If you require a careers guidance session for a particular discipline, or you would like me to arrange a workshop focusing on a particular employability skill, please contact me directly at s.r.sutcliffe@brighton.ac.uk. In Semester One, I will be working remotely and can provide pre-recorded content or join live teaching sessions via Microsoft Teams.
I will also be working with students on a 1-2-1 basis so please ask them to email careers@brighton.ac.uk if they want to set up a meeting or if they have queries regarding:
- what they can do with their degree
- which career options are available to them
- what they can currently be doing to increase their employability
- how to present their skills to employers
My working days are Mon–Wed, and I am in a different role at the University for the remainder of the week.
Please do get in touch to work with me, during what is going to be an unusual and challenging year for everyone. I look forward to hearing from you!
