Hi everyone. It has been a great week because we have the
‘Make It Happen’ Week.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Make
We are all hardworking bees looking for a bright future.
The team is here to help you make it happen<\/em>.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Preparation Stage (Mar-May 2022)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The preparation for this one-week programme started in late March. The team collected the qualitative data from fellow MA classmates through Google Form. We want to thank your contribution, because these data have formed the basis of our interviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We grouped the questions into 3 categories: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Information on the MGH job market<\/li>
  2. Preparing for application<\/li>
  3. Further study<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Having considered this year’s MA class is an international cohort, we included a fourth category addressing the worries of International students. We decided to conduct one interview in Chinese and provide English subtitles. This approach helps to show the cultural and market differences from the perspective of an international job seeker in the UK and enables students from different countries to be on the same page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We hope you find the materials helpful, no matter you are international students looking for jobs in the UK or British students looking for jobs in other countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We started to invite guests from the MGH team, alumni and Careers Service to have Zoom recordings with us or join us at the in-person event. Meanwhile, we started to organise catering and printing services for the big day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The online content will stay in the 2021-22 MGH community discussion board at Canvas after the week. So you may revisit them during summer when you’re frustrated in applying for jobs. We hope the tips and experiences from the speakers can alleviate your anxiety a bit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
