It’s increasingly common for graduates to change jobs and advance their career soon after starting their first role. Whether it’s due to unmet expectations, discovering a better career pathway, or simply outgrowing the position, making a move early in your career can feel daunting, but you’re not alone.
Join us online for a panel session featuring recent Heriot-Watt graduates who’ve navigated this very experience. They’ll share their reasons for moving on, how they managed the transition, and what they learned along the way. The session will be moderated by alumnus Paul Er Vice President, Global Sales, Millennium & Copthorne International and renowned Performance and Mindset Transformation Coach.
As part of our Future Ready series, in this session we'll cover:
• Why graduates choose to change jobs early on,
• Practical advice for managing your job search while still employed,
• Advice on how to present your experience and get noticed by recruiters,
• Tips from our graduates on how to make a confident transition between jobs.
We look forward to seeing you there.
