Two types of consultations are available – 30 minutes to discuss any aspect of your career management or 15 minutes to receive feedback on your CV or LinkedIn profile.

The aim of these consultations is to support you so that you can successfully manage your own career. As a result, students and graduates are limited to no more than 5 appointments per academic year.  Most people use only 1 or 2 appointments in any year.

**Careers Consultation FAQs**

**When should I start thinking about career management?** \
It’s important to focus on your studies but the application processes for graduate schemes and taught postgraduate study start to open in the September/October of your final year. Many employers hire graduates that they already know through placements or internships, so it pays to start career planning sooner.\

**Am I on the wrong course?** \
Many students have doubts about their subject choice at various times throughout their time at University. It’s important to be proactive in handling these doubts. Don’t just give up and stop attending! [Targetjobs](https://targetjobs.co.uk/careers-advice/career-planning/434249-changing-or-leaving-your-course) have some useful advice to help you understand the root of the issue and what to do next. [Book an appointment with a Careers Consultant](https://www.qub.ac.uk/directorates/sgc/careers/CareerConsultations/) to discuss career options related to different subject areas and speak to your Personal Tutor (if applicable) or Adviser of Studies if you are considering changing to a different course.

**Where do I start?** \
A good first step is to research career options:\
– Read [10 tips for exploring your career options\](https://www.qub.ac.uk/directorates/sgc/careers/ImproveYourEmployability/10TipsforIdentifyingandExploringYourCareerOptions/)– Looking for something related to your subject or a specific industry sector? – read [Career Options and Information by School and Sector](https://www.qub.ac.uk/directorates/sgc/careers/CareersInformationbySchoolandSector/)

To turn this into a shortlist of career options, it’s important to consider what’s important to you in a career e.g. your motivations, the skills you enjoy using and where in the world you want to live.

While you are a student at Queen’s, you will have access to Microsoft Office 365 for free. It includes Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote (which are hosted in the Microsoft Cloud).

When you use Office 365, you can access your files stored on OneDrive for Business from virtually anywhere—by using a PC, a Mac, and even select mobile devices. You can also share files with others or synchronise OneDrive with your laptop or home PC.

Below you will find a list of the features included in Office 365 and how to use each to its fullest:

**A list of applications is presented below**

OneDrive – Personal storage space with the option to share files or folders.\
You can access your files like another drive on your device. The files are stored in the Microsoft Cloud.

OneNote – OneNote is a digital notebook that provides a single place for all of your notes and information (and you can create notebooks to share with other colleagues). OneNote saves as you type.

Teams – Teams facilitates chat-based working with other students and includes file sharing and other tools that help teams work collaboratively.

Forms – Forms are easy to create – surveys for people, inside and outside Queen’s. Forms produce charts and an Excel file stores all the responses.

Sway – Sway is a web-based way of putting across ideas, through text, imagery and animations. These can be used to persuade or inform.

Planner – Planner is a way of allocating and scheduling tasks. And can be associated with Teams

Word, PowerPoint and Excel – These are available as a subset of the Office 2016 equivalents and they can be used via a browser on any device connected to the Internet (whether or not you have Office 365 on the device).

Our friends over at [TARGETjobs](https://targetjobs.co.uk/) have collated this list of tricky interview questions with tips on how to answer them. Read the [full article here.](https://targetjobs.co.uk/careers-advice/interview-questions/325225-the-top-nine-tricky-interview-questions-and-how-to-answer-them)

**‘What is your most significant achievement?’**

This question is designed to assess your values and attitude as much as your achievements, and employers often want you to talk about your activities outside education. You’re more likely to come across well if you choose to discuss something you’re genuinely proud of, which could be because it involved leading others, overcoming obstacles or persisting in the face of the odds.

**‘What motivates you?’**

You are particularly likely to be asked about your motivation in a strengths-based interview, which focuses on what you enjoy doing and what you do well. This is an approach that graduate recruiters are increasingly using alongside or instead of competency-based questions.

Your answer should draw on an example from your extracurricular activities, work experience or studies that suggests you would be strongly motivated by the job you are applying for.

**‘Give an example of a time when you showed initiative.’**

If an interviewer asks you to describe a situation in which you showed initiative, avoid giving an example of an idea you had but never put into action. It’s much better to talk about a time when you not only came up with a solution to a problem but also acted on it.

**‘What is your biggest weakness?’**

The problem with this question is that you’re being asked about your shortcomings, when your instinct, in an interview situation, is to keep your flaws as well hidden as possible. What you need to do is to frame your answer to as to give it a positive spin.

Strengths and weaknesses can be different sides of the same coin, so another way to approach this question is to think about how you overcome the potential downside of your greatest strength. For example, if you’re a natural teamworker, is it difficult for you to cope with conflict or assume leadership abilities? How do you cope with this?

**‘Are you innovative?’**

Graduates are sometime asked to give an example of when they were innovative, ‘thought outside the box’ or used creative thinking to solve a problem. Many graduates are concerned that their examples are just not innovative enough, but the interviewer won’t expect you to have given the prime minister tips on handling Brexit! Instead, talk about times when an idea from you had a positive impact: for example, if you came up with a fundraising idea for charity or found a way to save time on an assignment.

Employers often look for commercial awareness in candidates. Here are three things we learned from the [Open University’s free Commercial Awareness course](https://www.open.edu/openlearn/money-business/leadership-management/commercial-awareness/content-section-0?active-tab=description-tab):

##### **1. How to understand an organisation and how it creates value**

When researching an organisation, you shouldn’t just look at what an organisation does, but *how* it does it; explore the activities and processes within an organisation. From the outside, two organisations may appear to be delivering equivalent services or products in the same way. They may have broadly similar suppliers and workforce sizes, their location and other large-scale features may even be comparable. Yet the costs incurred by processes inside these two apparently similar ‘black boxes’ may be vastly different. So, although what goes into each organisation and what comes out may seem pretty much the same, the ways in which they create value could be radically distinct.

**2. How to understand an organisation’s value**

An organisation is a machine for adding value. In its simplest form this means it takes an input at one value and, if successful, converts it to an output at a higher value.

The concept is seen most clearly in manufacturing, where raw materials are worked on to produce finished goods that customers value and are prepared to pay a premium for. Whilst the raw materials or components already had worth, the process of manufacturing added more value.

Commercial awareness means being aware of how change to one aspect of an organisation’s system can have disproportionate, far- and wide-ranging impacts on many other components.

**3. Where you fit in in the value chain**

The course mentions three components in the value chain:

- creativity: coming up with a new product or process
- manufacturing: churning out the product (this is the tangible part of the chain but it adds less value than you might think)
- marketing, branding and advertising.

When it comes to applying for a position within an organisation, ask yourself

- Does your role fit neatly and exclusively into one of these three stages?
- In terms of a value chain are you closest to the ‘inputs’ or the ‘outputs’ of your organisation? (Roles close to the input end might be procurement, enquiries, goods received, etc., those nearer to the output end might be invoicing, delivery, after-sales services, etc.).
- We talk of a value ‘chain’ – but to what extent does a linear chain (receiving work and passing it on, with added value) represent your work situation?

Reflecting on the above will help you demonstrate your commercial awareness to a potential employer.

If you haven’t heard already, all Queen’s students are being given the opportunity to take a course at Queen’s Language Centre for free in Semester 2 – all the details including how to apply can be [found here](https://www.qub.ac.uk/directorates/sgc/careers/GlobalOpportunities/freelanguagecourses/). There are so many benefits to learning a new language. Here are just seven of them.

1. **It Boosts Your CV**

Having another language is seen as a major plus by employers, particularly in today’s global job market.

**2. It’s Good for the Brain**

The cognitive thinking and problem-solving skills required to learn a new language rivals Sudoku when it comes to giving your brain a workout.

**3. It develops a global mindset**

Learning a new language gives you a greater global understanding of the world and how it works.

**4 It allows you to experience other cultures**

Learning a new language exposes you to new cultures. You will have the chance to see new things from a different perspective and be able to connect with people across the world. You get to learn what’s fashionable within a culture, including music, style, history and literature. This, in turn, will help you grow as a person and appreciate things that you wouldn’t have noticed before.

**5 It helps you multitask**

Switching between languages outs extra demands on your brain – those that can manage it are better at multitasking and managing stress.

LinkedIn is like marmite. Some people love it. Some people loathe it. I confess to being nearer to the second category myself. But here’s the catch – it is a useful and influential platform for kickstarting your career.

Why? 3 reasons…

1. Networking – LinkedIn isn’t like other social media platforms. It has a career focused USP, meaning you can cultivate a specific professional network. You can follow what other people in your industry are talking about, share opportunities and ideas and, yes, even steal a few too!
2. Career Path – One of LinkedIn most notable features is that users upload their career and educational history to their profile. This means you can check out what career path your professional role models took when you’re planning your own professional journey
3. Jobs – LinkedIn is no silver bullet to your unemployment woes. But it does boast an impressive jobs feature, allowing you keep track of who’s hiring in your area, what skills and experience they’re looking for and more details on how you might apply.

Convinced yet? Well, let’s pretend you are.

So how can you make the most of your new LinkedIn account? Here 10 short, sharp, tip-top tips:

1. Profile Picture – Something vaguely professional please, no snaps from ‘Malouf 2k18 Lads Holiday’
2. Background Picture – Always more tricky I know, but popping in something, even just your top landscape shot, adds some personalization to your profile.
3. Make Your Summary Sing – This is your first chance to show off, so pretend it’s a job interview and sell your unique story!
4. Specific Skills – Don’t sell yourself short. Have a think about what you can offer to an employer, and try not to lie!
5. Job History – Take a few minutes and do this right. Make sure you get your employment and educational history correct, you’d be surprised how many people will see it.
6. Describe Your Work – Job titles aren’t enough, tell us what you did in the role.
7. Network Building – Be careful here, you don’t want every Tom, Dick and Harry spamming your timeline. Remember LinkedIn is career focused, so only connect with folks who are professionally relevant. Colleagues, role models and career influencers? Perfect! That Ex you never got over? Avoid!
8. Endorsements – Not one of my favourite features but useful nonetheless. Give your connections some endorsements for their skills and, who knows, they might return the favour!
9. Contact Information – The internet is a weird place, so don’t overshare, but a professional email address allows those interested in your work to drop you a line.
10. Kill The Buzzwords – I know it’s tempting to fill your profile with all the latest, and still meaningless, industry jargon. But it makes for painful reading so cut the ‘synergies’, ‘passionate’ and ‘results-driven’ lines. When it comes to who you are – show, don’t tell!

Now you’re all set!

One thing’s for sure, LinkedIn isn’t as fun as other social media platforms. So, don’t forget about it as the notifications pile up. LinkedIn is a platform that’s on the rise, make sure you make the most of its ascendency.

Good Luck!
