NEED INSPIRATION? HERE'S WHAT OTHERS LIKE YOU HAVE ASKED.

“Hello there! My name is Michelle and I am a current General Course offer
holder.

I believe spending a year at LSE will provide me with more rewarding academic
and personal opportunities but I’m unsure how to capitalise on these when I
graduate.

Do you have any advice on what I should be doing whilst I’m at the School and
how I should leverage my LSE experience when applying for jobs?”

“Hello General Course alumni! I am Justin and I’m thrilled to have received an
offer to study abroad at LSE.

However, I’m not certain I can be away from my home institution (and my friends
and sports teams!) for a full academic year.

I’d love to hear how you found being away from your home institution and what
the transition back was like at the end of the General Course programme. Thank
you!”

“Hi LSE alumni, I’m an econ/business major and keen to get the very most out of
my time in London.

I hope to enhance my CV by working part-time alongside my studies and possibly
get an internship during the summer after the programme ends.

Do you have any advice on how I can successfully work and study at the same time
and how I might secure an internship in the City of London?”


FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT CAN I ASK?

As an offer holder, you can ask any questions relating to the course, studying
at LSE, and what it is like to live and work in London. Once you are studying at
LSE, you can use the tool to ask anything to help with your academic or
professional development. There are thousands of alumni, academics, staff and
friends that can help with building and growing a startup, personal development,
or figuring out career options.

WHAT'S A GOOD QUESTION?

Think of your question as an advertisement. Share who you are, what you are
doing, and what you need help with. Keep it short and sweet. Here’s a short
video on how to craft a great question that will get you results and help build
your network.

WHO WILL SEE MY QUESTION?

We send your request to the best alumni, academics, and staff in your area of
interest. Members of staff at LSE, including LSE Careers, may use the content of
your question to improve programming. Using this Service will not influence any
current or future application to the School. 

CAN I REQUEST SOMEONE SPECIFIC?

No. We make our matches based on availability, proximity, experience and skills.

CAN I ASK A FOLLOW-UP QUESTION?

Yes, of course! Once we make a match you’ll have direct, one-to-one
communication and can ask additional questions. 

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GET AN ANSWER?

We aim to get you answers within 3 business days. But it depends on what you’re
asking. It can go as quickly as an hour to as long as 10 days or more.

WILL MY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS BE CONFIDENTIAL?

Your question will not be made public. It will be seen only by matched experts
and a handful of administrators.

IS THERE A LIMIT TO HOW OFTEN I CAN ASK?

No, you can ask as many questions as you would like. In fact, we encourage it as
this is the simplest way for you to build your professional network.
