Real experiences from Babcock students and alumni, at internships, first jobs, and beyond.
"The event was beneficial to my career development because it gave me the opportunity to learn not only from the feedback I received, but also from the responses and experiences of other participants. It also exposed me to different ways of approaching common interview questions and helped me reflect on how I present my own experiences. One of my key takeaways was how to answer the “Why should we hire you?” question more effectively by communicating the value I can bring to an organisation. I learned that, beyond listing my skills and achievements, I can position myself as someone who is capable of executing projects and turning ideas into tangible results. I also learnt the importance of taking a brief pause to process my thoughts before answering a question rather than rushing into a response and potentially stammering."
"I attended the Career Fair in my 200 level and landed a summer internship at Access Bank. By the time I graduated, I had three job offers. The alumni connections made all the difference."
"The CV template from Career Services is what got me noticed. I had zero prior tech experience listed, but the way it was framed told a story that HR couldn't ignore. I start in August."
