There was a long list of types of people they needed.
I matched 3 out of about 10
Disability
having being classed as a mature student
Getting a first generation scholar bursary
Reckon if there is someone out there with a collection of these things they can pair me up with, then I can probably help.
The commitment is 1 hour online per month for 5 months, but more if needed.
I said I could help 1 person, but more if they have demand for people to help
Maybe it will turn out to be a good thing.
It’s been nearly a decade since I graduated from University, and there are plenty of stumbling blocks I can help people with
One key thing I realised was that you still needed to do what everyone else does, and get that entry level job at low pay, get work experience and prove yourself in a field. Pick a diverse company with wide ranging spectrum of day to day exposure to different tasks, and you’ll find your way within.
It’s all about applying transferable skills. Many people rubbish degrees like mine (History and Sociology) but they educate you well, and you learn a lot of highly valued skills in the process - if you put the effort in.
Dunno.
Would the above help someone who’s about to finish their degree and is freaking out about getting employment?
I had to note on the survey that I would not have a clue about body language as I simply don’t pay any attention to it
I think it is something that will help you as well. It’s good having something worthwhile to do outside of work and I applaud you for giving it a go. I suspect you’ll surprise yourself.
