Placement Relevant PD Week Workshops

Dear Sandwich Students ( Dept Of Accounting, finance & Economics)

 

It may seem a little premature but I wanted to highlight to you that during Professional Development Week there is a workshop taking place focusing on interview and Assessment Centre Success! 

I think this would be a fantastic opportunity for you to brush up on your techniques in order to enhance your chances of securing a placement! What’s also great is that the session is being hosted by PwC. There are also quite a few other exciting events/workshops taking place, that I definitely think you would benefit from so I have picked out some favourites and listed them below.

These are obviously going to be very popular sessions, so I would encourage you to book now to avoid disappointment. 

 

Tuesday 21st February:

·       Plan your Career in Accounting: Guide to Professional Bodies & Career Progression 10am – 12pm

·       Accounting, Finance and Economics: Meet the Employers Networking Café 1.15pm – 5pm

 

Wednesday 22nd February:

·       Perfecting your Personal Brand and Networking Skills 10am – 12pm - KPMG

 

Thursday 23rd February:

·       Preparing for Interview and Assessment Centre Success 10.30am – 12pm - PwC

On the web page you can scroll down to review the sessions,  read a summary about the session by clicking on the title,  and you can then click the ‘Book a Place’ button to be taken directly to the CareerHub page where you can book on to the session (providing places are still available).
