On Thursday 28th<\/sup> February we saw the return of the Meet the History Professionals event delivered by the Division of Development and Alumni Relations in partnership with the Careers Service. The event gave our History students the opportunity to talk to former students who studied similar subjects to them and have gone on to be successful in their careers.<\/p>\n

Delivered through groups, 10 minutes per alumni, switch and repeat! The event included food and refreshments, informal chat and networking opportunities. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe History graduates were inspirational and led to us receiving positive feedback from every student that took part.\u00a0\u00a0Muneera Lula came up from London and it was terrific to hear about her current career success with the Dept. for International Trade.\u00a0 She is truly impressive!\u201d<\/p>\n

Here is what some of the students who attended the event had to say:\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIt has made me feel like my degree is valuable\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cTalking to University of Manchester (History) alumni was fantastic because it opened my to eyes to all the career opportunities available.\u00a0 It also made me feel more at ease about my future \u2013 it\u2019s okay to be unsure of what you want to do\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cGuests were happy with their careers and confident that studying History had been important for their current jobs.\u00a0 I liked to see this passion and the diversity of options after the degree\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cGreat experience.\u00a0 You get to know plenty of possibilities for your future\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIt was great to hear from people who are in positions that are interesting to me and it made me want to be much more proactive with my career\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s definitely worth attending events like this as they both motivate you to do more and let you feel at ease if you don\u2019t know what you want to do\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI (now) feel less scared about the graduate me!\u00a0 Thank you!\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe evening was very informative and beneficial to finding out about new career opportunities\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe event showed me the wide range of jobs and opportunities there are with a History degree\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cAn easy going, informal way to find out about your future.\u00a0 It was really helpful talking to people who actually did the same degree as me\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cMeeting History graduates face-to-face was really inspiring and has boosted my confidence\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
