The Careers, Employability and Skills team at Queen’s have been praised by students for their most recent Bitesized Employability Session on Increasing Self-Confidence and Dealing with Imposter Syndrome.

One student who attended the online session commented: “I really appreciated this course. I think the University has done a great job identifying an issue that exists and can feel very personal and overwhelming. It's good to see it recognised and have practical ways to address it”

The session was the latest in a series of lunchtime skills sessions on a range of topics including Communication, Leadership and Resilience.

Over 40 students attended the session delivered by Roisin Macartney from the Student Development team within the Careers Service.

Roisin says: “I discussed what Imposter Syndrome was and gave students some suggestions of practical things they could do to deal with it.  The onus was very much on encouraging the students not to let Imposter Syndrome prevent them from going for opportunities like applying for placements and jobs.”

The session also highlighted the breadth of help and support available to Queen’s students from the Careers service. Roisin added: “We discussed interview questions and the resources available to them from careers.”

One student commented: “I didn't know there were so many different areas of help available, such as the CV check and consultations, which I can't wait to make use of!”

The session on Increasing Self-Confidence and Dealing with Imposter Syndrome is available to stream here.

The Bitesized Series continues with Leadership Skills on 9 February
