For Religions and Theology students. Louise Sethi (Careers Consultant for Humanities) reports:
"We're available via Zoom, Skype and telephone to offer careers guidance and support. We also run lots of online workshops, some with employers, some related to Postgraduate Study which aims to address some of the most common questions we receive.
Religions and Theology graduates are good at identifying skills and knowledge that transfer well from an academic context to their work. Valuing what you have to offer is important when applying for a postgraduate course or a job. That’s why it’s a good idea to make a note of modules you’ve enjoyed, what you’ve learnt from doing a dissertation, as well as part-time work, volunteering etc. The next step is to put this across in a way that resonates with a postgraduate course admissions tutor or employer and helps them tick off each point in their selection criteria. How to do this is explained in the Applications and Interviews section of the Careers Service website. Don’t forget that if you would like feedback on a personal statement for a postgrad course or a job application, you can book an applications appointment.
The Careers Service is here to provide you with on-going support for up to two years after you graduate. Our website is packed with resources and information and links to the best graduate careers and job sites. These include our own CareersConnect, our new opportunities (vacancies), events and appointments platform. It’s easy to access using your student details. Finally, you can use our live chat during our office hours (Mon-Fri, 9-5pm). I’m also happy for you to email me directly louise.sethi@manchester.ac.uk"
