Don't missGoing Global- which provides global career intelligence and expert advice on how to find a job or internship in your dream location or close to home.
Many students are successful in securing an advertised opportunity with an employer. But in industry sectors where formal work experience programmes are not widespread, you should also consider making speculative applications.
It isn’t realistic to expect to arrange a 45-week placement or a graduate job from a speculative email alone; it can take a little more work than that. The advice in ‘Networking to find opportunities’ (below) will help you to develop contacts and establish relationships with employers who are more likely to be able to help and to consider an approach which unfolds in stages.

Reflect:Be clear what sort of work experience you are looking for and why. What are your interests and future career hopes, what do you want to learn and how will this take you forward with your career planning? If you can answer these questions confidently, you will be able to sell yourself more effectively to a prospective work experience host, than someone who just wants to get anything on their CV.
Do your research:Whether it’s a year placement, a 3-month internship or two days’work shadowing, the employer will be looking for motivation. Demonstrate a genuine interest in the organisation and the role by doing some background research and be ready to show your understanding of what they do, what’s going on in their sector and how this relates to your own career plans.
Make an ‘Elevator Pitch’:Devise and practise an “elevator pitch” i.e. a clear and succinct explanation (ready to go, whatever the situation) of who you are, what you’re looking for, and what you have to offer. Then you’ll be ready to network and sell yourself with confidence wherever you are. You never know who might get into the lift with you or who you might be sitting next to on the train!

Be flexible:Even if you want two or three months’ solid work experience it’s often more productive to ask for less initially. Many professionals are busy, but would actually like to help. Consider asking for an ‘information interview’ to begin with (see the Network tab below). People love to talk about themselves and how they’ve got to where they are in their careers, and are willing to spare time to do this. Once you’ve established a relationship in this way, it can lead to further work shadowing, more contacts within that organisation and potentially some lengthier work experience.
Be proactive and resilient:Use research and networking to seek out hidden opportunities. Taking yourself out of your comfort zone, playing detective, being creative and solving problems, are behaviours that will build your confidence and increase your chances of finding the work experience you need, setting you on the path to future career success.
Networking is a valuable life skill which will help you as a student, a graduate and throughout your career. It requires practice, but with the opportunities and support available to you at Loughborough, using it to uncover placements and work experience or search for graduate roles is the perfect time to start building your network.

Networking can be defined as the ability to interact with other people to exchange information, and develop contacts, helping you to discover opportunities and make decisions. You will have already begun to learn this skill at University and it will become one of the most important skills you develop to enhance your future career success.
The idea of networking is to approach your existing contacts for help and advice and then tap into their network to make further useful contacts. Gradually, you can build up a wide range of contacts which then become part of your network. This process is reciprocal and in time you will be able to give back to your network and share your own experiences in areas where others need help.
By developing a network of professional contacts, you can access advice and support from people working in your chosen industry and explore possible placement and work experience opportunities. During and following a placement you can continue to widen your network when investigating graduate opportunities and beyond.
