This Christmas, Covid-19 will not have stopped parents, grandparents, well-meaning aunts, uncles and family friends gathering\u00a0on Zoom to quiz our students about what they are going to do with their lives &#8211; and giving them the benefit of their advice. That\u2019s great. But the problem with it is that everyone\u2019s got their own angle \u2013 and we don\u2019t. At the Careers Service, our students and post-docs can talk about their future with somebody who doesn\u2019t have a direct stake in it. We also work hard to make sure that everyone who comes to us is treated as an individual, that our advice is designed for, and specific, to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cam.ac.uk\/business-and-enterprise\/creative-thinking-helping-students-and-employers-make-good-choices\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Continue reading \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The University of Cambridge has published a new article on the importance of creative thinking.
