For instance, marketing and strategy consultant Dorie Clark is on hand to show how you can leverage your skills to differentiate yourself in a current or new role – or even re-invent yourself professionally; and international consultant Nicolas Constantinesco offers insights to job applicants on how to stand out, as well as how to understand better what recruiters want and to learn to tell stories that engage them. The panel of experts covers everything from avoiding burnout to mastering the art of informational interviews – with plenty more on the way.
Joanne Gardner in Imperial’s Alumni Relations team says: “As an Imperial graduate, we know your thirst for knowledge continues throughout your life, so we ensure a wide variety of online resources remain open to you after you leave.
