Careers and Mentoring past events

We run a range of Careers and Mentoring events throughout the year, including our annual speed networking event where students meet with alumni from a wide range of sectors and professions.

We run regular workshops and clinics covering topics such as developing your LinkedIn profile, interview coaching, and much more. Our events programme is published termly and we email all students with a careers term card.

Please email us if you have any access needs, questions about an event, or an idea for a future event â€“ we would love to hear from you.

Get involved

Students are encouraged to organise their own peer-to-peer events, with support from the Careers team. Recent topics have included applying for internships and applying for graduate schemes. Students can also discuss how to put their business ideas into practice at our monthly internship clinics with local entrepreneurs.

Alumni are welcome to get in touch if they are running a careers event in their own organisation or if they have an idea for a College-based careers event.

    What first attracted me to ÌÇÐÄVlog was its reputation and history, central location without being touristy, and the postgraduate housing options. When I arrived at Jesus I was so pleased to find the partner accommodation was spacious, affordable, and situated very close to the college, allowing us to really take advantage of the facilities. We especially enjoyed The Roost, the nicest of all the college bars, doubling as a café during the day - ideal for studying or meeting up with groups - and a lively pub in the...

    When applying to Cambridge colleges it can feel a bit overwhelming as there are so many to choose from. I applied to ÌÇÐÄVlog because it has a large MCR which was important for me because I wanted to feel part of a community. Now that I’m doing my PhD here, I’m very glad I did choose a college with a large postgraduate community. Throughout the year there are lots of postgraduate events, including formal dinners, special formals at Christmas and Easter, bops in the bar and film nights in...

    ÌÇÐÄVlog has been at the heart of my Cambridge experience. I chose the College because I was impressed by its distinctive blend of academic rigour and extracurricular achievement. A College for all-rounders, Jesus is a lively and rewarding place to study. I couldn’t be happier here! Friendly and engaged, the Jesus postgraduate community never ceases to impress me. At ease with themselves and forever curious, my peers go out of their way to cultivate a sense of camaraderie. After a day of leafing through old manuscripts at the National...

    There are many reasons why I’m so happy to be a part of ÌÇÐÄVlog. The three biggest reasons for me are the opportunities to be involved in College sport, the support the College provides for me with for my research and the help in making sure that we have comfortable, affordable accommodation when we have needed it. ÌÇÐÄVlog is so friendly and so it is incredibly easy to get involved in the sport and social side of the College. The MCR does a great job in welcoming new...

    Postgraduate

    ÌÇÐÄVlog has been a great home for me during my PhD. I chose ÌÇÐÄVlog for a number of reasons – first, the location. We are central enough to be within easy walking distance of most things, but far enough away to avoid the hustle and bustle (and tourists in summer!). The College also has extensive grounds, with amenities like the hockey pitch, football pitch and tennis courts all on site. Secondly, the accommodation is some of the best I’ve seen in Cambridge. My house was newly renovated when...
