Wednesday 9th March 2011
was Nottingham careers day; it was a great event, providing an important
opportunity to present the XLVet member practices as a good place to work to the Nottingham students.
Nottingham University Careers Day
Special thanks to Steve Glanvill (Hook
Norton) for joining the ‘Quiz the boss’ session
and presenting on the realities of practice
life: to Lois Cowie (Allen and Partners) and
Emily Robinson (Scarsdale) for representing
the group so well on the young graduate
question and answer session and to Chris
Parker (Scarsdale), Jane King (Westmorland)
and Mike Clark (Minster) for working hard on
the stand talking to the students and to Steve
Smith (PAWS) who was busy lecturing to the
second years all morning.
The fair was open to final year Veterinary
Medicine and Veterinary Nursing Students,
and with over 250 students present it was
a busy evening. Craig and Gemma kindly
set up the stand in the afternoon, before a
tour of the college's hospital facilities was
given. During the careers evening, many
students approached the stand, enquiring
about the XLVet group. Lots of students were
interested in going into mixed practice
when they qualified, and seemed pleasantly
surprised at the number of XLVet practices
that were mixed. We highlighted lots of the
benefits of working for XLVets, such as the
forum and internal CPD for the students and
encouraged those who were interested in
working for XLVets to check the website
regularly for positions being advertised.
