Identify the steps to tailoring your CVs, cover letters and applications to the opportunity you’re applying for.

Investigate ways to shine at job interviews and how to prepare for psychometric tests and assessment centres.


Discover Careers in... Panels

Our Discover Careers in... panel events feature speakers working in certain industries and sectors who tell you what it is like to do their job, what you need to get into it and how they got there.

They will share their own career stories, tips and information on their sector and this is followed by an opportunity to ask questions. Listen to their stories to discover what it’s really like and bring your own questions to help refine your focus. 

This series covers careers in around 40 different sectors including: 

Hot Pink Singular Cube  Charities & NGOs
Sea Blue Singular Cube  Life & Health Sciences
Orange Singular Cube  Banking, Finance & Consultancy
Teal Singular Cube  Advertising, Communications & PR
Purple Singular Cube  Think Tanks, Government & Public Policy
Sky Blue Singular Cube  Data Science, AI & Machine Learning

Specialised Careers Consultants who know all about your degree and your possible future career choices deliver workshops in most academic departments. They include everything from the career options available for students with your degree to how to prepare for entry into specific careers.

We also run a programme tailored for postgraduate research students and an annual Focus on Masters week.

At the start of each academic year, our Employer Engagement teams run webinars on the latest data and trends in graduate recruitment, helping students navigate and make the most of their early few weeks at King's.

In addition to our core events where we often welcome global employers interested in recruiting King's students, we also run regular workshops on key labour markets including China, the United States, India and France and partner with colleagues in our Visa & International Student Advice Team (VISAT) to update students on the latest UK visa changes.
