Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From Graduate to Professional: Navigating the transition from university into work.
Q: What has been the hardest part about transitioning from degree to full-time work?
The guest cites the lack of clearly laid-out goals in the workplace, moving and adjusting to new surroundings, and doubting her own abilities; she notes probation reviews and KPIs require self-management and regular feedback, which is different from the concrete grading system at university.
From Graduate to Professional: Navigating the transition from university into work.
Q: What was the process like applying for graduate schemes?
The guest describes a tough, structured process: online CV submissions, detailed forms, 500-word responses, screenings, then lots of online tests (logical, maths, verbal), followed by pre-recorded video interviews and finally in-person group interviews; many programs required navigating a large, impersonal system, but she learned to practice with Grad First and tailored each application to stand out.
Social Enterprise: What is it and how can I get involved?
Q: What are some example projects and their impact?
Projects like Oyana Kenya teach soap production and business skills to women, enabling local income and eventual handover, while other initiatives such as Biosmart Biochar address local energy needs and create revenue streams for communities.
Social Enterprise: What is it and how can I get involved?
Q: How can students get involved with Enactus Exeter?
Students from many different degrees can join existing projects or form new teams to work on socially impactful, for-profit ventures, with opportunities across marketing, finance, and operations.
Social Enterprise: What is it and how can I get involved?
Q: What is social enterprise?
Social enterprise is a business model that blends a profit-seeking approach with a social mission, reinvesting profits into the cause and creating sustainable impact beyond donations.
