After an informal presentation from each alumnus about their career, the panel shared their tips for successful networking, offering advice on how to make and use contacts effectively.<\/p>\n
Jayne said: \u2018The event was a big hit with students \u2013 one of the Kent LLM students who attended told me it was the best careers event he had attended. Another student told me that it was really inspiring to see how useful her degree\u00a0will be to get jobs outside of\u00a0the legal profession. She said that she\u00a0could now appreciate just how beneficial her legal skills would be in whatever profession she chose to follow.<\/p>\n
\u2018It was inspiring to hear that success will happen if you keep chasing it. The employability programme at Kent Law School is all the richer for having alumni involvement and we wish to thank our panel for taking part.\u2019<\/p>\n
Almnus Alessandro, who is already a member of the Law School\u2019s Alumni Mentoring Scheme<\/a>, took the opportunity while visiting Kent to invite his mentee out to dinner with all five members of the panel. Other attendees followed up on the advice given about effective networking with the result that one student is now being formally mentored by one of the panel (Giovanni) and another is engaged in useful discussions with Nithin about banking careers (with the possibility of informal mentoring).<\/p>\n
