Whilst at university, you are gaining skills from every area of your life. You are constantly developing as a person, but do you know how to talk about your knowledge and experience in an interview or how to describe it in a job application? The Hull Employability Awards are here to help!
It is never too early to start thinking ahead to life after your studies and as a University of Hull student you are eligible to start working towards this additional award from the University that endorses your employability and will help you to stand out from the crowd. As well as being a fantastic addition to your CV, working on your Award will help you to articulate the skills you develop on your journey towards becoming a ‘distinctive Hull graduate’.
The Award is now broken down into three easy-to-achieve stages:
Reflect on your current skills and discover ways in which you can develop yourself at university
Undertake a range of developmental activities to enhance your skills, experience and employability
Practice articulating your skills and experience and receive expert feedback to help improve your CV, application and interview skills
We welcome University of Hull students from all programmes to take part in the Hull Employability Awards! From foundation year to PhD, whether you are undergraduate or postgraduate, full-time or part-time, home or international student – we encourage you to get involved.
Reflect on your current skills and discover ways in which you can develop yourself at university
