Learn how to navigate the global job market thanks to FREE Job Club guidance

Transitioning from student status to your first job, your next challenge?

Do you need some tips on how you can stand out in the fiercely competitive global job market, with your newly learnt English skills? You are about to complete your school, college or university studies and you are wondering about the next steps in life. Many young students experience some difficulties to transition from their student status to their first job. You may be one of them.

Your difficulties may be linked to:

• Lack of professional experience: you may not have had a job experience yet;
• Limited network: you do not know anyone in your field or in the company of your dream;
• Competition on the job market: depending on your country or your field, you may face a strong competition for the best positions;
• Undefined career goals: you do not know yet the field or the type of company you would like to work in;
• Lack of knowledge about job applications: you do not yet know about how to write a CV, or prepare for an interview;
• Lack of guidance: you desperately need someone who could guide you for the first steps on the job market.

You would like to know how to best succeed in your job applications. While you may find many resources on the Internet, like tutorials and online workshops, it may be more efficient to look for more personal and face-to-face guidance.

Stating the difficulties of some of its students in looking for their first job, the English school Nacel English School London has launched a free Job Club for its students: all students attending an English course in London with Nacel can join the free Job Club.

Preparing successful University or job applications

Nacel English School London can indeed help you to move forward to your next step in life. If you are one of the international students taking an English course in this school, you benefit from free workshops to help you with all things career-themed.

Nacel Job Club at a glance

The Job Club helps you with:

• University applications: if you are not yet ready to enter the job market, you may be interested in pursuing your studies.
• Writing your CV: techniques and tips to write an efficient CV
• Interview techniques: you need to get prepared for job interviews.
• Cover letters: you need to stand out from the other applicants.

Meet inspirational professionals

The school invites special guest speakers who have been highly successful in their respective fields and are passionate about passing their knowledge on to the next generation of aspiring professionals. Here are just two of the most recent examples:

• In May 2023, the school invited a young banker from Citibank, a holder of two degrees in Finance, to give students a Business Talk with a special focus on how to be constantly prepared for the ever-evolving world of interviews. The emphasis was on maximising the student’s potential so that they have the confidence to apply for jobs in sought-after corporations, utilising any experience they had so far before they moved to the UK, as well as from living and working in international environments. If you are moving to the UK from abroad to learn English in London, this means that you have this valuable experience too!
• Last summer, Nacel English School London welcomed a Digital Marketing and Social Media Trainer to run a series of workshops on public speaking and interpersonal skills, also incorporating guidance on how to make long-term, effective plans for the future.

Receive personal and experienced guidance

Carol, an experienced English teacher at Nacel English School London, and a passionate ex head-hunter is running those free workshops this term. Her carefully curated programme will give students plenty of guidance and practice so that they can focus on showcasing their skills in their applications and beyond. Her workshops will give students the confidence to take the next steps in their career, whatever their ambitions and goals. A local to North London herself, she also gives some insider tips on how students can make the most of the school’s wonderful location, where so many extracurricular opportunities await students.

You will not only learn from highly successful professionals about how you could take your career to the next level, but you also learn how you can best manipulate the English language to your advantage. It gives you the ‘edge’ in an ever-competitive global job market. Keep your eyes peeled for the upcoming free Job Club events and their dates at Nacel English School London.
