Showcasing the skills from your degree
Thu Feb 05 2026
Often in careers, we talk about developing skills alongside your studies, through volunteering, societies, part time work or internships. In this episode we focus on the skills you have gained directly from your degree and how you can articulate them with clarity and confidence.
Rachel Sloan, Employability and Careers Consultant, explores the technical, academic and personal skills you develop throughout your studies and how to demonstrate them effectively to employers in CVs, application forms and interviews using the STAR technique.
