In this inaugural session we heard from Jessica Wilson, Talent Executive at Potato, ITV Studios about her career in film and TV and some of the lessons she’s learnt along the way. Participants then went into breakout rooms to talk about a range of industry trends and topics, to share advice and gain useful industry insight. Following the event, participants were encouraged to continue the conversation on Ask Alumni+. Thank you to all our alumni industry experts who joined us.
This is the first in a series of virtual industry-specific networking events, encouraging students and recent graduates to connect with more established alumni working in an industry they are aspiring to join. The series will run on the last Monday of each month until July 2022, with the next session on Monday 28 February. You can explore the full programme on our website.
If you are working in one of the industries featured in an upcoming event, we’d love you to join us and share your insights with those wishing to follow in your footsteps. If you are at the start of your graduate career, register to broaden your professional networks and gain valuable career insights!
These events are run in parallel with Ask Alumni+, the online community of the University of Greenwich. Students and alumni are encouraged to join Ask Alumni+ and connect with fellow members who they can either seek help from or offer help to members in a number of career-focused activities. The platform hosts a jobs board while special interest communities help members develop even more meaningful connections. It is also the home of the university’s career mentoring programmes. Find out how Ask Alumni+ can help you.
