Since the launch of the #HultHiresHult Instagram campaign last month, we are overwhelmed to see the responses we have received. We are already at 143 followers comprising of an amazing cross program and cross year mix of alumni, current students and employers. We have successfully hosted 9 events across our London UG and PG campuses representing of a wide mix of industries.
For the events we have had Hult alumni take the time out of their schedule to come and speak to students not only about the companies they work at, but also advise and give tips on the application process. They share insights on industries, hiring trends and help with referrals to positions. They also talk about the culture and an insight into the life students should expect.
