In our \u201cMeet the Team\u201d blog series we will be introducing everyone from the Careers and Enterprise Team and giving a short background to their roles as well as their best advice for you at this time. Today we are introducing Susannah!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
When did you join the team?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I joined the team in May 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What is your role in the team?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I am an Employability and Skills Officer. I have over 7 years of experience supporting people in a range of contexts since graduating from CCCU myself, and I love continuing to support students and graduates here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I really enjoy a varied role, but what you’ll probably know me best as is ‘the workshop lady’! I organise all our Careers & Enterprise workshops, getting to know our wonderful facilitators, sorting out your bookings and bringing it all together. Outside of that, I am the blog writer<\/a> giving you my thoughts and reflections through these crazy and unprecedented times, and you’ll see my face pop up for various updates on our social media<\/a> too. I support students and graduates via email and Live Chat, and always enjoying saying hello in lectures to give a reminder of our services. What have you been up to in order to keep yourself busy?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Up until November I had returned to an old love of mine – running. I have a history of being a fair-weather runner, and despite hoping to be different this year, a knee injury put a halt to that. Instead I’m giving some serious attention to some research on which supermarket gluten free mince pie is the best. The research continues!<\/p>\n\n\n\n What are your tips for students to keep focused on their career while stuck at home?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Get involved! There’s loads you can access and can do if you want to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can get ongoing careers support via the following ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n In our \u201cMeet the Team\u201d blog series we will be introducing everyone from the Careers and Enterprise Team and giving a short background to their roles as well as their […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":122230,"featured_media":8297,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[45,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8293","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-careers-service-colleagues","category-news"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"authorName":"Susannah Gilbert","featuredImage":"https:\/\/blogs.canterbury.ac.uk\/careers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/506\/2020\/12\/Blog-Post-Meet-The-Team_-Andrew.png","postExcerpt":"In our \u201cMeet the Team\u201d blog series we will be introducing everyone from the Careers and Enterprise Team and giving a short background to their roles as well as their […]","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.canterbury.ac.uk\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8293","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.canterbury.ac.uk\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.canterbury.ac.uk\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.canterbury.ac.uk\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/122230"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.canterbury.ac.uk\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8293"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.canterbury.ac.uk\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8293\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8358,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.canterbury.ac.uk\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8293\/revisions\/8358"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.canterbury.ac.uk\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8297"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.canterbury.ac.uk\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8293"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.canterbury.ac.uk\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8293"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.canterbury.ac.uk\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8293"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
I love working with other teams across the University, so I also sit on some meetings that help us join up our thinking to give you the best experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\nGetting further support from The Careers and Enterprise Team at CCCU<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
