Environment, freelancing, writing HR events on Wednesday! Hope youve been keeping up with all the careers information events that have been running this semester and Wednesday 13th (tomorrow, as I write this) is another big day. As usual, the second semester focuses more on non-corporate careers or those careers with a difference as weve termed them either a different way of working, such as self-employment, or those sectors where graduate recruitment schemes are rare. In other words, careers where you normally have to find your own way which suits a lot of postgraduates. Weve got a glut of events tomorrow, appealing to different types of people. Wed love you to register in advance, but if you havent just come along (youre unlikely to get turned away).
