On January 15th we welcomed the 1st year YIBs to an Information evening which included a Car Club Challenge Business game run by Enterprise Rent a Car and concluded with lots of pizza. This interactive game provided students with a great opportunity to put their business and marketing
skills into practice. Students had to decide in which city Enterprise should next open their Car Club brand and in doing so developed key skills in communication, teamwork,
leadership and presenting. Well done to all students who got up and presented their team’s results !
We talked about the 5 key areas for 1st year YIB students which will help when they come to make Placement applications in the following year:
1.Get
actively involved in Societies/ Sports/ Volunteering in order to
develop their skills (eg teamwork, leadership, initiative) for when they
make placement applications/ attend interviews.
2. Set
up a Linkedin profile and start networking with Employers. There are
many events on campus this term where students can network including the
Career’s HR and Recruitment week (w/c 22/1/18), Marketing and PR week
(w/c 5/2/18) and a number of Employer in Residence sessions.

3.
Get work experience ! This could be part time work while at University ,
an insight week/ summer internship (search sites such as Rate my
Placement and Indeed) or via your personal network/ Linkedin. https://yearinbusiness.blogspot.co.uk/2016/04/work-experience.html
4.
Meet the YIB Careers’ Advisor for a 1:1 before September. Start
thinking about your Placement Plans and discuss what you need to put in
place to get ready to make. Check out Prospects’ useful guide to different job descriptions: applications.https://www.prospects.ac.uk/job-profiles
5. Attend 2 x
Year in Business Workshops in the Spring term and start practicing for
Psychometric tests/ preparing your CV ahead of your return in September
Workshops for 1st year YIBs are:
Psychometric Test workshops Monday 19th February ( 2- 3pm) or Monday 26th February (12 – 1pm)
Careers/ CV workshop: Monday 5th March ( 2- 3pm) ; Tuesday 13th March (2 – 3pm)
Previous YIB Alvaro says: “Psychometric tests were an essential for all my
placement applications, in fact they are the key for getting through the
recruitment process of most placements whether you do it online or once you are
invited for an interview. I highly recommend to get your head around these as
early as possible, how they work and what to expect from them as different
companies will have different types of tests” .
