Voices of experience
"The meetings really helped me sort out my CV, prepare for work experience placements and gave me a really good insight into journalism and PR, and how the two interact. The best benefit was working at the 'Manchester vs Cancer' music event, since it was the best hands-on journalism experience you could get. Through my mentor, I have also made contacts that I hope will be very useful in the future."
Rachel Gormley, Religions and Theology. Mentored by a Reporter from ITV.
"I learnt interview techniques and how to write application forms, and had work experience with Deloitte in Manchester, which was extremely helpful in my career choice. My mentor was very helpful throughout my application process and always answered any questions I had. I also met lots of people through my work experience."
Serena Shah, Economics and Finance. Mentored by a Senior Associate from Deloitte.
