Graduate stories

Kelsa
BA(Hons) Media Studies

In a change from our usual Q+A format, Kelsa has posted a video to talk about her experience of Community Media 4 Kenya volunteering, and how this helped her meet the challenges of her first graduate role with Selfridges.

Since making this video Kelsa has moved on to new opportunities; "Work is great... I am working for Ted Baker doing training and setting up projects between stores and their local communities/museums/universities to empower people who choose a career in retail and support local communities. I have also just started lecturing part-time in Learning & Development at London South Bank Uni... It all stems from the work I did with [CM4K] which I regularly talk about - so I honesty can't thank you enough."

Graduate stories

Alexandra
Masters in Public Administration

After the glamour of my Masters in Public Administration (MPA) graduation ceremony, like many other grads, I faced the severe reality of job hunting which lasted for several months.

Luckily I signed for the careers graduate internships mailing list while still a student. This is from where I found out about the internship with Whitehawk Inn. I saw it as an opportunity to gain an excellent understanding of a small community-based organisation, develop insights into the sector and networks within it.

I was quick to draft a successful application, as I was in the groove with this after around 70 previous unsuccessful trials. The internship fitted perfectly to my goals and academic background.

As the intern I was looking at more creative ways of taking forward the development and marketing of the Whitehawk Inn facilities which are currently vacant or under used, in order to increase income for the organisation. I performed a comparative market analysis of the room hire, offering reasonable adjustments on policies and setting up new business procedures for the organisation.

This experience was immensely valuable in terms of my professional growth and helped me a post with the 国产探花 Development and Alumni Office. In addition I was able to grow my network of contacts within the industry as well as outside of it. I currently stay in touch with the Whitehawk Inn and plan to volunteer for them in the future.
