“What do you study?”
“English.”
“Ok. So you want to become a teacher, then?”

All students of English Language and Culture (and other language students for that matter) have undoubtedly had this conversation over and over again. True, there is nothing wrong with becoming a teacher. But if teaching is not really your ambition, it is sometimes hard to retaliate with a sharp and witty response, since many students really have no idea what they would like to do later, or what all the options even are.

To inspire and prepare yourself for the future (and for condescending comments about your choice of degree) Etcetera is organising a career event on 11 June. We have invited several alumni to come and talk briefly about their experiences building a career after they left the University of Amsterdam with a BA or MA in English Language and Culture. They will tell you about the do’s and don’ts, the obstacles, the successes, and what makes an English BA or MA attractive in the current economy.

We have invited five alumni who each will be sharing their experiences with you. There will also be a speaker from the Loopbaan en Adviescentrum who will talk about using LinkedIn, building a network, writing a letter of application, and other job-related skills.

Sign up via the etcetera website http://www.sv-etc.nl/?page_id=1212. The entry is free and there will be drinks afterwards.
