Give It A Go at SUUG!
 Give it a Go is back with a programme of events and opportunities for you to enhance you CV. A change is as good as a rest - or so they say - so why not try something different, meet different people and add an all-important line to your job applications of the future!
Here’s what we have lined up. You must contact us as advised if you want to get involved in any of the sessions.
Please note that sessions may change times and venues and that some sessions require a minimum number of students to sign up before they are run.
Writing online as a way of getting free tickets
Date and location to be confirmed once numbers for each session are known
Do you like writing? Would you like free tickets for theatre or sports or free copies of books? Maybe other freebies too?

Interviews matter. They unlock the door to that dream job, to a place on the course you always wanted, to an end of writing out more application forms! This session will allow you to be interviewed for any post for which you supply the details (eg from job advertisements). You will get individual feedback on your interview and watch others being interviewed. Run by an interviewer with over 20 years experience.

Setting Up a Sports Club or Society
Monday 30th April – Activities Room, Cooper Building, Greenwich, 12pm
Ever wondered why we have some sports clubs and societies but not others? It’s because all clubs and societies are student led, which means we need students to come to us with ideas about what they want to see! If you have an idea for a club or society then come along to this drop in session where we will take you through the process of setting up a club or society and answer your questions.
