As I am currently in my final year of university, I need to start thinking now about what I want to do after university finishes and what to do after I graduate. I do have a CV but I have not updated it since college and I was unsure if it was correctly laid out.
I had booked a 1-2-1 careers advice session with Sue, she had helped and advised me with what to do after university and how to create a CV depending on who I wanted to give it to e.g. a design agency or for a retailer.
I had initially told her that I wanted to create a CV for a retail job as I am not sure if I would immediately start working for a design agency. By the end of the session, she said that with the skills I have, she doesn't understand why I wouldn't get a design job as I do have the experience and skills necessary. Sue said that I would be too good to work for a retail job and I shouldn't settle and I should indeed, look for jobs in the design industry.
The session with Sue was very uplifting and positive as I went into the situation feeling slightly disappointed in my skill set and CV but by discussing it with Sue, she helped me draw out and find that I do have quite a lot of experience and organisation skills in things I've done. Before I went to the session, I didn't think I had any work experience at all but when talking to Sue, she had made me realise that I do have more skills and experience than I give myself credit for.
