Hey, I'm daisy
An Adobe Student Ambassador from Bath Spa University and member of the Bath Spa Careers team!
I use Adobe Express to prepare for interviews, applications, and work towards my dream career...
... and I want to share how you can do it too!
Here are my top 5 tips to career success as a student. From developing your personal brand to understanding the skills employers want, read everything you need to know here.
1. Build your brand
Visual storytelling is important
Whether you're applying for an internship, graduate job, or university programme, employers recognise a candidate with a clear identity.
Use Adobe Express to design your CV, portfolio, LinkedIn banners, or webpages (just like this one) to promote your skills and personality!
Check out these CV template examples for ideas on which design you should use.
2. Prep for your future career with templates
Creating visuals to kickstart your career is crucial when looking to promote yourself and your work but can be time consuming, eating into time you could spend working on your assignments!
Adobe Express templates make it easy for anyone to build an online presence without needing design experience.
Use Adobe Express templates to create...
3. Presentation is everything
When employers see a thoughtfully designed presentation, they recognise that you care about how your work is perceived.
When it comes to choosing someone to receive opportunities to represent the company, who do you think will come to mind?
Adobe Express has a range of presentation templates that are sure to capture the attention of any audience member, and they are super easy to edit.
4. Document everything!
Your University, your experience
Do you ever wonder how to make industry connections? One way to build a community is by actively posting on LinkedIn about areas of interest to you within your field of study
As a student you are actively preparing for your career by learning from experiences, and this is something that you can share to your online network to showcase your passion!
Every time you learn something interesting in a guest lecture, participate in a study, attend a work or university related event, or create work that you are proud of, you can share this on LinkedIn to create that personal brand that could land you your dream job!
My advice...
My advice is to document everything, taking pictures and notes of career or study related experiences that made you feel passionate about your career choice, and share this to your online network.
The Adobe Express social media planner can help you plan out your uploads so that everything is shared exactly when you want it to be. No more unused pictures waiting to be posted in your camera roll!
