Why was this event so useful?

The day gave a fantastic opportunity to

• pick up tips from alumni who are working in a range of jobs  - inside and outside academia
• enhance your employability skills through a range of workshops
• meet a range of employers and hear what they are looking for. ( This is NOT primarily a recruitment event, more a chance for both parties to meet and learn more about each other)
