If you were to give Imperial Students a tip on how to make the most of a Careers Fair, what would it be?

Our top tip for Careers Fairs would be to research the firms attending in advance, to look at the kind of work they do so you know which opportunities you want to find out more about. Then think of some specific questions you would like to ask each firm, bearing in mind that there may be representatives from Graduate Recruitment and Trainees at the fair. It is important to have done your research before attending the fair to make the most of the opportunity.

In addition to academic skills, which skills do Oliver Wyman look for in its applicants?

You don’t need to have studied law to apply: we recruit from all disciplines. In fact, around half of our trainees didn’t study law as an undergraduate degree. We’re looking for a unique combination of skills and potential. That means more than a great academic record; it takes confidence, empathy, diligence, drive, and an international mind-set to succeed as a trainee at Herbert Smith Freehills

Early application (before November 2020) is advised for all graduate and internship roles at Optiver.

If you were to give Imperial Students a tip on how to make the most of a Careers Fair, what would it be?

Be as inquisitive and open to career possibilities as possible. Whilst it is great if you are already clear on a particular career path, we’d recommend speaking to company representatives about what career opportunities they have and what specific tasks involve. Quite often we speak to students who had not necessarily considered a career in Trading or Software Engineering but upon hearing about what the roles entail and how exciting the industry can be, have been open to applying or learning more via a company presentation for instance.

In addition to academic skills, what skills do Optiver look for in its applicants?

Optiver values candidates who demonstrate a strong drive for both continuous improvement and entrepreneurial thinking. Being a true meritocracy with a strong performance culture, these skills can often be differentiators. Having the right blend of technical aptitude and commonly required softer skills such as strong communication and teamwork skills along with an inquisitive mind to challenge yourself and others around you can really set you apart in Optiver’s recruiting process.

Royal Air Force

JIf you aspire to a fulfilling, diverse and rewarding medial career, the Royal Air Force could sponsor your Medical training, in the form of a bursary or a cadetship, leading to a career as a Royal Air Force Medical Officer. A career as a Doctor in the RAF is not simply a civilian career in a different uniform. It can be both challenging and very rewarding. You will receive the upmost professional support and training, a highly competitive salary, an excellent pension and the opportunity to excel in your medical speciality.

RAF Medical Officers play a vital role in keeping our personnel fit and medically prepared for their operational role, at home and when deployed. All RAF Medical Officers receive basic training in aviation medicine and have the opportunity to train further to provide specialist medical support to the RAF and the UK Armed Forces, including aeromedical evacuation. You will deliver a high standard of care under demanding, but rewarding conditions, including the extra challenges of working in a field hospital or deployed medical centre, sometimes in austere settings; that’s why a career in the RAF as a Doctor is no ordinary job.
