Career Guidance


This afternoon I had a career one-to-one chat with Ingrid about my thoughts after college as admittedly I am feeling lost about what I am going to do with myself. I know I want to go into marketing, eventually and study a masters abroad. I know I don't want to move back to Devon (maybe for a couple months to get my drivers license) Ingrid told me to look into graduate schemes and look at the prospects website and career planner. 

Look at marketing week magazine 
I am already on Linkedin, so join some marketing groups. 

Overall, Ingrid gave me the kick I needed. She also stressed the fact I need to focus on the next three years (make shorter goals) instead of what am I going to do with my life, as the likelihood is I am going to have multiple jobs and careers. She spurred me to be more active as I feel I have been drifting for the past two years and admittedly I am becoming bored of college and I am so eager to leave and enter the working world. 

Since my career talk... 

  • I have joined the gym...again.
  • Uploaded my profile to hopefully do some volunteering work in Leeds (be more selfless ha) doinggoodleeds.org.uk
  • Currently sorting my CV and portfolio
  • Brainstorming what I want to do with life 
  • Look for work experience within marketing
