Last year’s Campus Correspondent Immy Hibberd only graduated this summer, but she’s been super busy since then! We catch-up with all her exciting life updates…
How did you get involved with Her Campus?
I got involved with HC in my first year at University, as I wanted to start getting experience in journalism to pursue this as a career.
What was your role?
I started out as a sports feature writer, focusing on women in sport and looking at the inequalities surrounding this. In my second year I moved up to the position of sub-editor, where I assisted the CCs with their workload and edited articles.
Then in my final year, I went on to run HC alongside Jenine Tudtud as Campus Correspondent and Editor-in-chief.
What did you gain from your time with HC?
The experience was invaluable! I got to manage a student-run publication and this gave me experience working with an international and renowned business.
How has your role helped you since graduating?
Working with HC came up in every interview I had with internships and jobs, so it definitely assisted with gaining these!
What are you up to now?
Since graduating I have moved into the centre of Nottingham, and am now working with a Digital Marketing Company called GoDine based in the Lace Market as a Digital Marketing Executive.
They specify in marketing for restaurants, bars and casinos, and I now have my own clients and run different accounts, including working for PizzaExpress!
This started as an internship from the Nottingham Internship Scheme, through the University, and graduated to a full time job. I love working for them and it’s an incredible experience working with a fairly new and growing business.
Do you have any advice for UoN students right now?
My advice for students right now would be to 100% get involved with societies and clubs, whether it be sports or just for something you are interested in (like cake)
This is invaluable for getting a job as it shows you are pro-active, interesting and have a personality!
It is also SO worth getting internships, no matter if they are small, short, boring, or don’t teach you much – fill up that CV! Good luck with the future and make the most of your time at university!
