How LSE Careers can help

Research

It’s important to do as much research as you can before applying for a 

job. The LSE Careers website – lse.ac.uk/careers – contains information 

on different employment sectors, ways of planning your career and 

marketing your skills. You will also find a range of reference material  

in the LSE Careers Resource Centre. 

CV and cover letter seminars 

Our careers consultants run regular seminars during term-time which 

are full of advice on how to construct CVs and cover letters and how 

you can best market yourself to prospective employers. There are also 

specialist seminars focusing on specific sectors, such as writing CVs for 

academia or finance, as well as basic and advanced seminars which 

cover different stages of careers – from recent graduates to experienced 

hires. You can use LSE CareerHub to search for and book seminars at
