In this latest episode of Bricks & Mortar, Sarah Jackman is joined by Jane Batchelor – a careers consultant at Henley Business School at the University of Reading and two second year students at the same university: Megha Sharma (BSc Investment and Finance) and Toby Swindells (BSc Real Estate) to discuss the effect of the pandemic on those graduating in 2021.
Toby and Megha reflect on what they’ve experienced so far in relation to summer internships, why keeping an open mind on career path is important and how they plan to approach their graduate job searches in the autumn.
Jane considers what the recruitment process for 2021 could look like as well as giving advice on what undergraduates could be thinking about to help strengthen their skill sets.
All share optimism for the future and, as Jane reflects, “It might be challenging to secure that first job, but once into the industry, you can have such an interesting career. It’s going to give you great opportunities.”
