Nottingham helps students dress for career success
The Centre for Career Development at the University of Nottingham recently hosted a fashion show to illustrate how students should present themselves in a variety of professional environments.
During the event, organised in conjunction with the Students' Union, a panel of employers including Deloitte, PwC and IBM provided over 90 students with useful hints and tips on how to make the best first impressions. For example, how being dressed appropriately can boost confidence and enable better performance at interview.
Students took advantage of the opportunity to network with the employer representatives at a drinks reception. The catwalk show itself included smart casual, interview and evening wear from a range of high-street stores.
