Securing Placements and Internships: Resilience, Feedback and Growth Panel

22nd January 11:00 to 12:00
This session is all about turning setbacks into comebacks in your placement and internship journey. Hear from previous students and alumni about rejection, ghosting, and uncertainty. These experiences can feel discouraging but they're often part of securing roles. They don’t define your future and can lead to new opportunities!
This activity is offered as part of Future Me Week - five days of exciting opportunities to develop your skills, deepen understanding, gain experience and take steps towards an exciting Future You.

Hear stories of resilience in the placement and internship process from a panel of students and alumni who’ve been where you are and have turned setbacks into comebacks:.

  • Learn how to turn feedback into growth and widen your horizons
  • Hear how to bounce back from rejection and keep moving forward
  • Discover practical tips to stay motivated and confident
  • Strategies to widen your search and uncover new opportunities
  • Get ready to make the most of every opportunity

Join to hear from those who’ve successfully navigated the ups and downs of the placement and internship process. They’ll share how they stayed motivated, used feedback to improve, and developed resilience and transferable skills along the way.

Whether you’re feeling frustrated or just want fresh ideas, this panel and Q&A will give you honest insights and actionable advice to help you grow.
