UCL
Meena Gurunathan Raju, an assistant with UCL careers service, has developed a series of handouts for Indian students looking to find jobs back home. These handouts compliment the session we run at Royal Holloway called “Find that job in India” which takes place in the Spring term.
Meena’s handouts cover the general economic situation in India, a guide to job-hunting and a useful reference guide for Indian style CVs and application forms. Copies of these can be obtained from the careers service, Horton building. You can also download them here: Economic Overview; Job hunting; CVs.
Thank you to Meena and the team at UCL for sharing these resources.

From the college intranet:
The first of this year’s Part-time Job Fairs was a roaring success. Employers were delighted with the high attendance and students had a good variety of jobs to explore. Event hospitality featured alongside IT, market research, sport & leisure and voluntary opportunities. 18 organisations were represented including for the first time the TA, Royal Holloway recruitment and Egham Leisure Centre. Of course this is just the first of many events we have planned for the Autumn term to help inform students about career options. More details online.
