How to make the best of your time at HULT!
- Dima Alameddine
3) Schedule team meetings ahead of time and set
an agenda
At HULT, there will be days where you might be working with up to 4 teams at a time. You will have your Module team, your Triad (leadership group in MBA), your HBC team and the HULT prize team (if you decide to sign up for that). With each person working with different teams, taking time to work with each team becomes much more difficult to plan. Therefore, make sure to schedule meetings with your teams at least 1 week in advance. Decide how many times you want to meet, and for each meeting set goals. Don’t just meet without having any idea of what you will accomplish during that meeting.
4) Keep an eye out for events happening on campus
There always things happening at HULT whether its company presentations, career workshops, guest speaker events, networking events or club events. Pick out what you think you might be interested in and make time to go. It’s a great way to meet people of similar interests, network and have fun. Always check the events happening every month on the page of MyHult, posters in the elevators and keep an eye on your inbox.
5) Talk to your career advisor
So long as you are a HULT student, you have access to a great career advising team (Mark Daley from London I
fhope you are reading this). They are here to help you with feedback on your Résumé, job application tailoring or a vacancy, mock interview practice before your actual one and a lot more. Make use of this resource wisely.
6) Do what you don’t usually do
I was a terrible public speaker. I would choke and start speaking so fast. But the only way to get over that is to keep practicing and learning till I got it right. And HULT is just the place for that. If you are the shy one on your team, now is your chance to start presenting. Worried about messing up? It’s better to do this now in front of your friends and teachers who want to help you improve rather than strangers in a board meeting in your future job.
