Alternatives to Investment Banking

Posted by rhulcareers on November 14, 2008

There are other options!

There are other options!

The recession is continuing to be a concern to many undergraduates. Stories of job losses across the banking sector can be frustrating for those wanting a career in that field. Whilst the City is by no means closed, it might be time to widen your search and consider other related roles or alternative ways of using and developing your skills.

A recent survey suggested that, despite the recession, many international students still wish to take advantage of Post-Study Work and find a job in the UK after graduation.

On Thursday, 20 November  (5.00pm – 6.00pm), MBA Careers Adviser Hilary Moor and I will be facilitating a session on “Alternatives to Investment Banking“. You can sign up for this in the careers centre.  This should be a really useful session for anybody considering a career in banking.  There will be opportunities for students to ask questions and to understand how the current market might affect them. Please note that this session will only run once so if you want to attend you need to register through the careers centre first.
