A warm welcome from LSE
Careers
Hi, I’m Maddie one of the
Careers Adviser team here working with Finance students. Welcome to the LSE
from the Careers Service team. Me and my colleague Judith will be meeting
with you in the Department over the coming weeks on your orientation
programme and talking about making applications and job search. We look
forward to meeting you then.
As a Finance student you
really are in a great location right here in the Square Mile. But with so
many events, workshops, recruitment fairs and presentations it can be hard
to know where to start and what to choose. It’s just not possible to do
everything and give sufficient time to your degree. Here, I’ll explain
how LSE Careers can help save you time, answer some common questions, show
you how to book appointments and access job vacancies and give you a quick
tour of our website.
Keep reading to maximise your success and to find out
how the Careers Service can help you get ahead in your career.
Take a look at the
Information for New students mini-site for more info and to explore the
LSE Careers site further.
