Director Industry and Engagement
Within my first weeks at the University of Huddersfield - London, I was invited to an interview at LEON, a UK-based healthy fast-food chain that I discovered during my part-time job search. I successfully secured a role in customer service. To apply, I had to complete an application and submit my CV, which was a crucial part of the process.
Shortly after enrolling, I had the opportunity to join its 20 Hour Club and Student Circus through my University’s Careers and Industry Engagement department. These initiatives are designed to support students with global career ambitions. Through them, I was introduced to several valuable resources, including a platform called CareerSet. This tool helped me refine and tailor my CV for the LEON application.
