In our ongoing mission to support and empower women in STEM fields, we recently joined forces with Optiver, a leading global electronic market maker, to deliver an invaluable one-on-one CV review session for our members. This collaboration marks another significant step in bridging the gap between talented STEM students and industry opportunities.<\/p>\n
A Personalized Approach to CV Excellence<\/strong><\/p>\n The session brought together Optiver’s experienced recruiters and our ambitious WOMENinSTEM members for focused, individual CV consultations. Unlike traditional group workshops, this personalized format allowed for detailed discussions about each participant’s unique experiences, skills, and career aspirations.<\/p>\n Impact Through Personal Experiences<\/strong><\/p>\n The feedback has been incredible, and we’re excited to share some of the highlights:<\/p>\n “The event is really helpful and helps to direct and clear my career planning in the future. I found it is an amazing opportunity to accelerate my career journey,” shared a MSc student in Electrical Engineering.<\/p>\n One of our Aeronautics students loved how practical the advice was. They mentioned that the “feedback was not overwhelming and was given in a way I can confidently implement it, rather than feeling I’d have to do everything from scratch.”<\/p>\n An MSci Chemistry student highlighted how the recruiters took time to understand each person’s background: “constructive feedback, tailored to individual experience based on the CV, really helpful when the recruiter suggests positions that is relevant to your individual skill set.”<\/p>\n Even our PhD candidates got tons of value! A Research Postgraduate from the Royal School of Mines shared that they got “very practical feedback on my CV and a better understanding of the recruitment process and skills that employers are looking for.”<\/p>\n What Made It Special<\/strong><\/p>\n These weren’t your typical CV reviews. Here’s what set them apart:<\/p>\n Looking Ahead<\/strong><\/p>\n The enthusiastic response from participants across all disciplines – from Engineering to Chemistry – clearly demonstrates the value of these personalized sessions. This successful collaboration showcases how industry partnerships can create meaningful impact for our STEM community.<\/p>\n We’re grateful to Optiver for their outstanding partnership and genuine commitment to supporting diversity in tech. Their engagement with WOMENinSTEM has set a strong foundation for future initiatives, and we look forward to bringing more valuable opportunities to our members in the coming months.<\/p>\n With more to come, yours, In our ongoing mission to support and empower women in STEM fields, we recently joined forces with Optiver, a leading global electronic market maker, to deliver an invaluable one-on-one CV review session for our members.
