In a new podcast, Diane Morgan, Director of Career Services, talks about the department and what it can offer to London Business School students.
Morgan begins the podcast by explaining that although there are many job opportunities for students at the moment; Career Services is extremely useful in assisting students in making the right choice, by building upon the student’s raw talent to secure good positions for them.
The team is composed of around 20 staff from seven different countries, who are from various fields such as investment banking and consultancy. “The personalities, work experience and cultural background of our staff actually mirrors that of our students and many of them are coming from careers that students are aspiring to,” Morgan says.
The Career Services team put on numerous events connecting students and recruiters throughout the year. This autumn alone, they will have organised over 100, both on campus and worldwide, with more events held in spring and summer.
Alumni Career Services has also helped draw in the expertise of the School’s alumni, many of whom give of their free time to advise the students in certain professional areas. Students can also benefit from individual coaching – and the opportunity for every student to receive this is something that is certainly unique to London Business School.
Morgan believes that the department enjoys its work. We “love the tie to the corporate community, and it ties us to the students. Everyday we know that we’ve added value to somebody’s life”.
