This is always my favourite time of year at Imperial College Business School – not only do I get to work with our fantastic current students but in two weeks I start to work with Admitted Students who will be starting in September at the Business School.
This is not just my favourite time of year, it’s also my busiest (busy is good). I’m bringing together our sector teams to ensure all our sector content is current and up to date ready for May plus I am working closely with the Head of MSc Careers and the Head of Full-Time MBA Careers to refresh the Careers Primer ready for all our Admitted Students who gain access to this invaluable online primer at the beginning of May.
I am thankful that I am also helping the Employer Relations Team and their MBA off-cycle Sector CV Books – 10 Books across 7 sectors and 3 global regions!
Working across all the teams within Business School Careers, it strikes me, how do Admitted Students find out about each team and what their core work is? Of course, it’s in your student handbook, on the Hub and we talk about it during your Careers Induction but let me just guide you through each team and how they work with students:
Employer Relations Team
- 6 Employer Relations Managers
- Work with Employers to build relationships
- Each Employer Relations Manager works within a sector
- Organise Employer Events
- Host on campus Careers Fairs
- Compile and Market CV Books to Employers

Career Consulting

- Deliver 1:1 Appointments on CV Reviews, Applications, Case Interviews, Interview Prep etc

So that was a very quick rundown of each team’s core business, next time I’ll be writing about the Careers Primer in more detail and be hosting Chloe Baker, Head of MSc Careers on why the Careers Primer is important and what to do after one completes it.
