Work experience is really important for building the perfect job application and preparing yourself for the working world. So what on earth do we do during a pandemic? You’re probably thinking ‘Most people are working from home so surely they aren’t going to let me do any hands-on work experience?!’
Don’t panic! Our Aimhigher team have created a short PDF to help you with how you can build those important skills in the current climate. It’s also important to remember that this is a global pandemic…everyone is in the same boat and employers will be mindful of this!
Just like a real Careers Fair, we have information you can download to take with you! Just hit download! These PDFs have loads of amazing info and go into more depth to give you great impartial info.
