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.

    °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û has been a great home for me during my PhD. I chose °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û 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...

    I chose °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û because of the great mixture of undergraduates and postgraduates, and when I first visited I thought it was the most beautiful place I had ever seen! The sense of community in Jesus has had an enormous impact on my experience here. Whether you need help, advice, cheering up or even just a chat there is always someone there to put a smile on your face. From the MCR committee to the Porters, the canteen staff to the gardeners, everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Jesus also...

    Postgraduate

    °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û 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...

    °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û has all the benefits of being large, historical and prestigious college, whilst also retaining fantastic welfare: the staff and other students all care about each other, and will be there to cheer you on when you are thriving, but also there to support you if you need any help. I chose Jesus due to several reasons, including its prime location, where it is very central, and easy to access everywhere, even if you work in one of the institutes further out. I also selected Jesus for its MCR...

    Postgraduate

    There are many reasons why I’m so happy to be a part of °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û. 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. °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û 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...
