Royal Docks Business School students

Students from the University of East London’s Royal Docks Business School were offered free advice today by experts from the world of banking, organised by the University Employability and Enterprise team.

At an event which took place at the Business School, students were offered invaluable advice into how to get ahead in business, including sessions looking at interview technique and a workshop on how to produce a job-winning CV.

Rugeena, who is studying for a degree in Business and Finance said: “The people from Barclay’s have been helping me with my CV; showing me things I should and shouldn’t add, it’s been very useful.”

Vicky Rolland from Barclays HR onboarding team said: “Even experienced people sometimes need advice on their CVs. By coming to UEL and delivering a CV skills workshop to students we aim to help them find success in their future career paths."
