“I will be forever grateful to Katie for her support and guidance in the ultimate result of landing my dream job”

A recent Computer Science Graduate reflects on their experience with the Careers and Employability Service at The University of Kent

My careers advisor was Katie Van Sanden, I was rather lost beforehand, sure about what I wanted but not sure how to get it. I initially reached out to Katie through LinkedIn, who quickly responded and booked a meeting with me. I had regular weekly meetings with Katie who would above all, kept me motivated and looking in the right direction. Katie helped tailor my CV, where to focus my job searches, and help with applications and interview prep. Katie also helped give me confidence in myself in what I had achieved at university and the expectations of employers of a graduate. I will be forever grateful to Katie for her support and guidance in the ultimate result of landing my dream job.
