Overwhelmingly HR, Recruiters and even hiring managers feel it is their job to DISCOUNT candidates, rather than to rule them in, based on skills and experience. They feel that makes THEM morally superior to any lowly job seeker, and of course that makes them incredibly valuable to their employer......They WILL find that one thing they think you don't have, and they WILL rule you out...and feel so proud about it.

Hello Raj, thank you for such a useful video! Can I please ask a question regarding STAR method- more specifically, do you recommend its use in job applications, especially when one has to demonstrate skills like communication, team work, self motivation etc? Or should the examples be used more in the interview itself? Thank you, great work!

Hi, my questions are: 1-I saw on the position description that interns in Global Data will be assigned to specific teams within the department. What are the different teams and what will the assigning process look like? (I couldn't find the teams online) 2- Is there anything that leaves you with hesitancy about choosing me for this position? ( to get feedback and clarify my strengths/motivations) 3- What does a typical week at the company look like? (to learn about meetings and social events during the week) Thank you!

@UCLCareersTV3 жыл бұрын
@@Fairybutte777 Sure there are! There are the more obvious ones like becoming an assistant psychologist with the NHS - normally the way to get training as a practitioner, but if becoming a practitioner isn't your thing, then the fields open to you are extremely broad... anything from User Experience design to Communication and much much more. Have you checked out the LinkedIn UCL alumni database and filtered for degrees in psychology (I see 11,030 Psychology UCL grads in this dataset)? This could give you a big-data feel for your question... especially looking at the profiles of those with MScs in Psychology but not PhDs.

Hi Raj! I found your videos through the school website, and they have been really inspiring and helpful! I just have one question about something I saw in some other article: do I really have to explain a gap year on my CV in the cover letter? I took one between my bachelor and my master just to clear my thoughts. I did work a little as a freelancer/intern during that time, but not for the whole year. Thank you very much!
@UCLCareersTV3 жыл бұрын
Hi Alice - good question! You definitely don't have to (nor should you) explain the gap year on either your cover letter or your CV... both are really introductory marketing-type documents to get you the interview - so emphasise skills relevant to the job description. If they're curious about that year, they'll ask you at interview so you'll want to think of a way to describe that year - clearing your thoughts is perfectly fine of course and I'd also add what you learnt over the course of that year - again emphasising skill - so the focus is always on how they benefit. I hope that makes sense, Alice? Definitely shout if not :-) Raj

Do we use the same concept when writing a personal statement for a job/ placement ?
@UCLCareersTV3 жыл бұрын
Yes, absolutely Darren... always start with what attracts you to them (gives them a reason to get invested in you) and then build a connection to yourself.... to show how you fit in their context. Then fully flesh out maybe the top 2 skills they mention. A personal statement, much like a cover letter is about satisfying them you'd be a good person to interview, so it's a marketing document rather than a full account of yourself. The best of luck Darren :-) Raj
