Every week, our students visit the Careers Blog looking for reassurance, advice and insights into career success. So, if you’re passionate about keeping current University of Reading students up to date with employability news, career prospects, and the future world of work, then you’ve come to the right place.
What’s in it for you?
Whether you’re an employer who wants to build a relationship with Reading students, a knowledgeable careers consultant, a skilled content writer passionate about career advice, or a University of Reading student or alumnus/alumna keen to motivate others by sharing your career journey, we would love to have you contribute to our Careers Blog.
In addition to having your article featured on our blog, with full credit given to post authors, it’ll also appear on our other student channels such as Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn, giving you the opportunity to further connect with our students.
Please note: we do not provide payment for services or contributions to the Careers blog.
