Students
� Did you use your Careers Service?�50:50�Strong employability support/information
�Generally a lack of retail specific information
![Page 11: AGR Sector Focus Group - Retail - Warwick Blogs · MITCHELLS AND BUTLERS Offer graduate schemes in Retail Management, Property, Finance, HR, Marketing, Operations Management, IT &](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042014/5e73a0547b56796c922bed2e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Careers Services was great- they advised me on my application and how to prepare for
online tests and Assessment Centre
Not well set up to help beyond banking, law or management consultancy
I found my careers services useful for thinking about applications but they were not particularly wised up on retail
![Page 12: AGR Sector Focus Group - Retail - Warwick Blogs · MITCHELLS AND BUTLERS Offer graduate schemes in Retail Management, Property, Finance, HR, Marketing, Operations Management, IT &](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042014/5e73a0547b56796c922bed2e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The careers service tried pretty hard to direct me towards Finance or Investment Banking
Our Careers Services never suggested Retail organisations
I gained advice and read feedback from former students who’d applied for jobs and had interviews from Retail organisations
![Page 13: AGR Sector Focus Group - Retail - Warwick Blogs · MITCHELLS AND BUTLERS Offer graduate schemes in Retail Management, Property, Finance, HR, Marketing, Operations Management, IT &](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042014/5e73a0547b56796c922bed2e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
