Our Career services for students

Our career team offers a range of professional development services that will support in your search for your dream job.

  • Preparing for internships
  • Job search strategies
  • Effective resume writing
  • Online job application
  • Business and social etiquette

In addition to other career services, we continuously help our students gain insights into the importance of networking.

Key tips:

1. Meet people through other people

The best and easiest way to meet people is through referrals. This is a similar effect to LinkedIn through their online introduction tool or even through joining the right circle at an event with somebody you know.

2. Leverage social media

Social media is an effective way to connect with important contacts without the pressure of a face-to-face meeting that you may not be prepared for.

3. Don’t ask for a job

Networking isn’t just about finding a job straight away and you should always avoid asking for a job. Instead, you should aim to ask people for information that will assist you in your search for employment.

4. Use Your resume as a tool for advice

An effective way to network is to ask others who you have established a relationship with to review your resume and give you feedback on how to improve it.

5. Ask for suggestions on how to expand your network

Don’t aim to only meet one or two professionals in your related industry. Instead you should also try to tap into the broader network of the people in your field. Ask your contacts if they can recommend a professional organisation or the names of some of the people you should connect with.

6. Online Presence

Ensure your online profile is always up-to-date. Recruiters often use social media platforms to find potential candidates to check out their skills and experience.

Following last year’s successful turnout, LSBF in Singapore’s Careers team held its second on-campus career fair for students on Friday 28 September.

Financial companies, hospitality groups and recruitment firms set up booths at the fair to interact with students and alumni. In addition, there were several industry talks by participating companies, including Summit Planners, an organisation that partners professionals and institutions to provide clients with business and financial solutions.

“Career fairs give students the opportunity to find out more about job requirements, especially for fresh graduates. It’s also a good platform for students to practise interactions with employers,” said Daniel, an ACCA student from Vietnam.

“This is a good initiative by LSBF. It was great meeting students who have showcased enthusiasm and excitement about their future. These career fairs give students a platform to seek career employability and I look forward to seeing more events like it,” said Kelvin Gan, Business Development Manager (Learning) at ACCA in Singapore.

The head of Schools organised a networking session for a group of students who had the opportunity to meet Ms Stephanie Syptak-Ramnath, Chargé d’Affaires, a.i., Embassy of the United States of America to Singapore. The event featured a discussion revolved around President Donald Trump’s recent trip to S.E.A and the economic merits that he proposed for working with leaders of Asia, including meeting PM Lee in the U.S. It was an insightful session with students also taking part in a Q&A that related to the U.S. President’s address in Asia.
