Architecture

architectureexhibitor // The Association of Jersey Architects

Architect What does this career entail?

Architecture involves designing different buildings as well as plan-ning extensions and alternations to existing buildings. Architects are involved throughout a project, paying continuous visits to the construction site to inspect the work in progress. In order to do so, this career requires someone who is creative, numerate, good at problem solving, able to think in three dimensions and possess excellent technical skills in order to use advanced computer soft-ware. As an Architect you are required to work closely with other industry professionals, for example, surveyors and engineers. You will also be required to work for a range of clients and thus must be able to ask questions in order to construct a project that will meet each client’s budgets.

What are the entry and training requirements for this career?

The entry requirements to study Architecture at university range from A-level grades AAA-BCC and a combination of Physics, Maths and Art would be ideal but not essential. GCSE qualifications at A*-C grades with high grades in English, Maths, Art and Science are essential. Architects do stress that all subjects are relevant to archi-tecture and so choose the subjects you are strongest in, in order to obtain the high entry grades that are required at university.

Taking Art at A-level is not essential providing you have an impres-sive portfolio of sketches and freehand drawings. Taking Art at AS or A2 does show you have an enthusiasm for drawing. You will not be expected to produce technical drawings, as this is an integral part of the degree programme.

Applicants will be required to complete five years of study at university, which is divided into three years, leading to an Honours degree and a further two years advanced study. Two years work experience in an Architect’s practice is then required before the final professional examinations (RIBA) are taken.

Those applicants who are most successful in the university selection process will have emphasised in their personal statements and in-terview, their enthusiasm for buildings. In order to do this applicants should discuss any visits they have made to historical or modern architecture sites and include their opinions towards them. Addi-tionally, showing evidence that you have read up on world architec-ture will impress universities and they may question you on this in your interview. However, feedback from universities shows that the principle reason for rejecting applicants is due to a weak portfolio being presented in their interviews. It is imperative to show your creativity in your sketch books and that you are confident with freehand pencil drawings.

What local opportunities are available in this career?

There are over 20 local architectural firms in private practices (the list is published in the yellow pages of the phone book). These prac-tices range from one-person to large scale companies employing 3-5 architects plus a number of technicians. In addition to these there is the States of Jersey Architects and the opportunity always exists to diversify into areas such as planning.

Architectural Technologist

What does this career entail?

Many people confuse the career of an Architect with that of an Architectural Technologist. An Architectural Technologist is involved in the designing and sketching of a building but technicians, will collaborate with the architects and reconstruct their drawings but adding exact measurements, either using a computer-aided design system or a traditional drawing board, which they will then forward to the builders. Technicians focus more on ensuring that a project will perform successfully when in use and thus carry out tasks such as, material selection, methods of construction, getting planning permission and agreeing contracts.


The qualifications required to do an Architectural Technology course at university are a minimum of 3 GCSE’s at A-C grades, with English, Maths and Science being preferred. A-level require-ments are approximately CCC and again the above three subjects are preferential, although studying IT, Design and Technology or a related subject will show universities that you have the skills to use advanced designing software that technicians are required to use.

There are opportunities available on the island to take a BSc (Hons) in Architectural Technology. This is a two year part time course available at Highlands College, with the next course beginning in September 2007. For more information on the Highlands College course in Architec-tural Technology please contact Tony Bechelet on 608610 or email: [email protected].

armyexhibitor // The Army: Be the Best

Army


As an Army recruit your priority first and foremost is as a soldier but in addition soldiers are also encouraged to learn a trade that is invaluable to the Army but also when applied back in civilian life. This can be useful if after service, soldiers wish to return to Jersey. There are 9 different career groups with over 75 possible trades that recruits can focus on, some of these include a trade in engineering, logistics, healthcare, administration, finance, human re-sources and combat. Soldiers working environments and hours will vary according to their specialism. In addition, the Army offers great opportunities to keep yourself fit through sport, exercises, training and occasional operations. Soldiers need to be confident in operat-ing sophisticated weapons and equipment but full training is given.

The further benefits of having a career in the army include:• Free medical and dental treatment.• Good pay• Good promotion prospects • Food and accommodation at subsidised rates • An opportunity to see the world completely free.


In order to become a professional soldier candidates must pass an Army Entry Test, physical assessment tests, a medical test and an interview to be accepted into The Army Foundation College (AFC). For the foundation college the age requirement is 16/17 and recruits are expected to complete a 42 week course. For entry into the AFC, good qualifications are advantageous but not essential for some trades, such as combat. There is direct entry into the founda-tion college for recruits between the ages of 18-27. They will be expected to complete a 12 week course prior to trade training. If you already hold a formal qualification in a trade, the Army will rec-ognise this with a financial incentive providing that your trade skills are satisfactory. This also means you are exempt from trade training.

In order to be an Army Officer you will need to first attend the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. Recruits will need 140 tariff points in separate subjects at A-Level and to pass a series of physi-cal and mental tests. You will need GCSE A*-C grades in at least five subjects, including Maths, English language and either a Science or a Foreign Language. However, successfully completing all of the above does not guarantee you a position as an Army Officer, as the interview process is rigorous and competitive. Successful candidates will complete 11 months at Sandhurst and then begin service in the Army as a Second Lieutenant (the first officer rank). After one or two years service recruits will then be considered for promotion.


The Army is always looking for new recruits as approximately 15,000 adults and 1000 apprentices join each year. However, there are no local opportunities, therefore candidates must be willing to either stay in the UK or be mobilised abroad if requested.For more information contact 02392 821812 and ask for the Army

or take advantage of the regular once a month visit from the Army Recruiter, Sergeant Dave Godfrey. For more information on dates and times of his visit contact your careers advisor or Major Bayston on 07753 780766.

The Jersey Field Squadron (Militia) The Jersey field squadron trains fit and motivated men and women to be part-time soldiers as well as continuing their day job. Training nights for soldiers are every Tuesday evening from 7.30 pm and you can attend just to find out what the Jersey Field Squadron entails. If you like what you see then training will take place over several eve-nings and weekends and providing you meet the required standard during this period and in your interview, you will attend a two week course at a regular army barracks, where you can put into practice what you have learnt. One you are a fully fledged member there are several careers to choose from, for example, combat engineering, driver, plant operator or chef to name just a few. You are also eligible to assist regular soldiers on operations across the world, most recently in Iraq, however this is optional.

There are numerous advantageous to dedicating your spare time to the Jersey Field Squadron (Militia), for example, travel opportuni-ties, teamwork training with a friendly group of people, improving your fitness level and confidence building, all whilst receiving pay and an annual tax free bounty. In addition, frequent courses that you receive will upgrade your military skills and pay, but at the same time educating you with invaluable civilian qualifications, making you more employable.

If you are interested in learning more about the Jersey Field Squad-ron please telephone: 01534 755200 or email: [email protected].

Agriculture


Farming plays a huge role in developing the Islands economy with its quality local produce now being recognised worldwide. Jersey is of course extremely famous throughout the world for its own breed of cow, quality fresh milk, the prized Jersey Royal and an abundance of fresh, seasonal fruit and vegetables. This is all due to the quality of farm workers in Jersey who are enthusiastic in ensuring Jersey maintains its reputations for farming quality and excellence. Some of the positions in the farming industry that contribute to all of this are listed below;

Farmers are responsible for ensuring that the farm runs as efficiently and profitably as possible. In order to be a successful farmer you must be very organised, a quick decision maker in order to make a lot of forward planning, for example, concerning when to buy new stock, where to grow crops, what fertilisers to use and when to use it. Farmers are required to carry out a lot of office duties and usually need to be computer literate in order to keep records and accounts for stock that has been bought and sold.

Farm workers carry out the practical tasks for the farmer, for example, laying, cutting and trimming hedges, putting up fences, help repairing and maintaining machinery and farm buildings. Farm workers are also required to prepare the soil for crops and seeds, care for them whilst they are growing and harvest them when they are ready. They will also care for, feed and clean livestock and their surroundings.

Agricultural/ Horticultural scientists carry out research to find more efficient ways to feed, breed and manage farm animals or to produce crops. This may involve carrying out a range of tests and then following this up by writing and presenting reports. They are involved in marketing and teaching as well as advising farmers and growers on how to control pests and use chemicals.


In order to become a farm worker qualifications are not required and on-the-job training will be provided by farmers. A certificate to drive loaders and other machinery is usually required.

It is useful for farmers to have a good standard of education, especially if you hold A2, AS or GCSE qualifications in science. Farmers usually have years of experience working in junior positions before they run a farm.

Degrees are available in Agricultural Science, Crop Science or Horticulture. The entry requirements range between ABB- CC at A level, with at least one science subject being preferential, especially biology or chemistry. Some candidates go on to study at postgraduate diploma level, in specialised courses such as Seed Technology, Tropical Agricultural Development and Pest Management Systems.

Aviation

aviationexhibitor // Jersey Airport

Air Traffic Control


The primary function of Air Traffic Control is to direct aircraft through the skies in a safe and orderly fashion. There are two principal careers within Air Traffic Control; Air Traffic Control Officers (ATCO) and Air Traffic Control Assistants (ATCA).


In order to become a trainee Air Traffic Control Officer applicants should ideally be aged between 20 and 27 years of age and possess a number of GCSE’s plus two A levels, at least one of which should be a Science subject. Short listed candidates undergo further assessments, including ability testing, personality questionnaires, structured interviews and a rigorous medical examination.

To become qualified, the trainee officer is required to spend about 6 months familiarization in Jersey ATC before attending two intensive courses in the UK. The courses vary from 14 to 18 weeks duration. On returning to Jersey this period of training is followed by a practical assessment and oral examinations leading to validation in a specific area. Training takes about 3 years to complete.

To be considered for the post of trainee Air Traffic Control Assistant the applicant must possess a minimum of 4 GCSEs. A working knowledge of information systems, good keyboard skills and a general interest of aviation would be an advantage.

The trainee receives in-house training which lasts about 6 months and will be required to pass internal assessment before being accepted as fully trained and validated. An ATCA must be able to maintain complete accuracy at all times, remain calm under pressure and have the ability to prioritise specific tasks.

Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting Service (ARFFS)


The main role of the ARFFS is to provide an efficient and effective fire fighting service in the event of an aviation incident, and to respond to domestic fires and first aid incidents within the Airport boundary. A 3 shift system operates within the hours of 0515hrs to 2135hrs.


Applicants should be physically fit, ideally aged between 21 and 30 years and possess a Group C Heavy Goods licence. Men and women who have gained work experience within a trade environment find the practical skills they have acquired most useful. Short listed candidates undergo ability testing, practical testing and a formal interview.New recruits undergo 10 weeks training, which includes 6 weeks in the UK, before coming “on the run” on restricted duties. All new recruits must complete all in-house and UK Basic Fire Fighter courses within one year of starting with the ARFFS.

There are many other careers available within the aviation industry including check-in staff, cabin crew, airline pilots, ground handling and aircraft maintenance and engineering roles; however these are not directly recruited by Jersey Airport. Recently, the bulk of recruitment for Jersey Airport has been in air traffic control and the rescue and fire fighting service.

For further details about a career in Air Traffic Control or the Airport Rescue & Fire fighting Service please contact, in the first instance, Zelia Le Miere, Human Resources Officer of 492204.

Beauty Therapy


To become a beauty therapist requires specific personal attributes, for example, having an artistic nature, an eye for detail in order to carry out the variety of face and body treatments on clients, such as applying make up, massages, tanning, waxing, facials, nail treatments, to name just a few. It is also important to establish a rapport with clients and therefore beauty therapists are required to have excellent interpersonal skills which include being a good listener and having a friendly nature as clients are often nervous and embarrassed and need to be made to feel at ease. Beauty therapists will also be required to carry out several office duties, such as, making appointments, answering the telephone, preparing bills, ordering stock and general store maintenance. Candi-dates considering this career path must be aware that it is physically demanding as you are on your feet all day and the hours can be long and often include working Saturdays.


To qualify as a beauty therapist, Highlands College offers a one year full-time course in Beauty Therapy. The entry requirements for this course are 4 GCSEs at grade D or above including English and Maths as well as a successful interview and good references. The qualifications that will be achieved upon completion of the course are NVQ Level 2 in Beauty Therapy. Once you have obtained your qualifications, Highlands College of-fers a more advanced one year beauty therapy course to attain NVQ Level 3.

Highlands College also offer a one year full time course in Combined Hairdressing and Beauty Therapy. The entry requirements for this course are an average of E grades at GCSE including English as well as a successful interview and good references. Completion of this course will give you the opportunity to either specialise in a NVQ2 course in Beauty Therapy or Hairdressing or go into retail work either assisting salons or working in cosmetic and perfume sales.


The majority of employment in the island is beauty salon based although after gaining a lot of experience, train-ing and skills, there is the opportunity to become self employed. However, entry to this course is very competi-tive and students with work experience in a related area will be at an advantage.

constructionexhibitor // Jersey Construction Council

Construction


A career in construction is suited to people who enjoy practi-cal hands-on work and due to the wide range of careers you can specialise in, there is a career path to suit you whatever standard of education you have achieved. Apprenticeships are available in the majority of construction areas:Carpentry, Joinery, Electrical Installation, Painting & Decorating, Plumbing & Heating and Trowel Trades.

The range of careers within construction is numerous and the Jersey Construction Council will be happy to tell you about each of the career areas. Don’t limit your construction career to the obvious. The following career areas are all available in Jersey: bench joiner, blinds fitter, building control surveyor, building surveyor, roofer, carpenter & joiner, carpet layer, ceiling fixer, construction estimator, construction manager, painter and decorator, plant opera-tor, plant mechanic, plasterer, plumber, electrician, roof slater and tiler, glazier, gas fitter, glass fibre installer, scaffolder, security alarm designer/installer, shop fitter, steel erector, steeple jack, stonema-son, town planner, tiler, wood turner, wrought iron worker…….the world is your oyster!


Highlands College offers courses that are suited for people with a range of qualifications and some of them, if successfully completed, will count as the first year of the apprenticeship programme, with direct entry into year two of the scheme. The courses available are; •City & Guilds Construction Craft Studies (minimum of grade E at GCSE.) This is a very popular course for school leavers and competitive to get onto. The interview is very important and tutors will be looking for real enthusiasm for a career in the area and some relevant work experience will undoubtedly help. •City & Guilds Site Operatives (subject to sufficient numbers)•BTEC National Award in Construction (minimum of grade C at GCSE) (subject to sufficient numbers)•BTEC Higher National Certificate in Building Studies•BSc (Hons) in Architectural Technology (degree level) (requires HNC in Building studies or construction or successful interview)•BSc (Hons) in Construction Management (degree level) (requires HNC in Building studies or construction or successful interview)

Some trades do not require any qualifications although GCSEs would be beneficial. The minimum GCSE requirements for most trades are three subjects at grade D, including English and Maths. In order to secure a managerial position in building and construc-tion it is favourable to have a degree in either building or construc-tion management, building studies or civil engineering. The entry requirements for these courses range between A-level grades BBC-DDE, including maths and preferably physics. GCSE grades A*-C in English, maths and a science are required. Admission tutors have emphasised that these courses are more academic than practical, as they look at law, finance, economics, management and constructional technology.


Many companies are able to provide you with an opportunity to experience the construction industry through the Trident work Experience scheme. The Training and Employment Partnership (TEP) offer a formal apprenticeship scheme so that you can train and prac-tice your specialism on the Island. Please be aware that the number of people looking for apprenticeships out weighs the number of vacancies available, so you should approach employers directly as well as registering with the Careers Service.

In general there are a lot of opportunities at the moment to enter into this career area, as there is a consistent shortage of all trades in the Island and a distinct lack of Jersey born tradesmen. There are great opportunities for tradesmen to progress into Management.

In Jersey, trainees in the construction business start at £11,000-£13,000 per year and graduates £13,000- £17000. Pay increases in relation to ability/experience and potential earnings are in the region of £30,000-£50,000 per annum for Managers.

To apply for the apprenticeship scheme application packs are avail-able from your careers teacher and the Jersey Careers Service. For further information on a career in construction, please contact Barry Le Beuvant [[email protected]] or Martin Holmes [[email protected]]

Customs & Immigration

customs & immigrationexhibitor // Home Affairs Human Resouces Department


The Customs & Immigration Service can offer a rewarding career for enthusiastic people wishing to play a part in the protection of the island. Customs & Immigration Officers are responsible for the control of passengers and goods moving in and out of Jersey. This means implementing laws relating to Immigration matters, particularly for those entering British territory from abroad. Passengers, their baggage and all other goods are also controlled for Customs purposes ensuring that legal requirements are met concerning the importation and exportation of prohibited, restricted or dutiable goods and irregularities in relation to these matters investigated. The principal activities of a customs and immigration officer include;

•Granting ‘leave to enter’ or refusing entry for arriving passengers. •Questioning arriving passengers and examining their baggage and/or person to determine whether they are carrying prohibited items. •Ensuring the efficient collection of revenues and that freight movement is compliant with EC legislation.•Undertaking investigations and developing intelligence, particularly in relation to drug trafficking.•Undertaking investigations in relation to the confiscation of assets under drugs trafficking legislation.

Some facts and figures (per year)

1.3 million passengers move through Jersey, 300,000 from abroad. On average the Service refuses 70 passengers, deals with 50 Naturalisations, seizes drugs worth £3.2 million and makes a further 800 non-drug related seizures, restrains £5 million of assets and collects £50 million in duty.


The Service requires applicants to have 2 ‘A’ Levels, with a degree being preferred. The ability to speak a European foreign language would be advantageous. Excellent communication skills are required, particularly when dealing with passengers who may not be co-operative.

Newly appointed Officers are normally employed at Grade 7 (£25, 237- £28, 414) and over a three year training period would move up to Grade 10 (£37, 328 – £41, 132). During this period they would be required to attend 2 training courses, likely to be run in the UK. Further courses are likely on completion of the training period.

All Officers are employed as ‘multi-functional’ and would be expected to move between the different sections in the Service.

To become a dentist it is compulsory to have a Bachelor of Dental Surgery qualification, which is achieved by attendance of a minimum of five years at dental school, followed by one or two years work experience. A-level entry requirements for Dental Schools are a minimum of AAB or ABB, this must include biology. Whereas some universities request all three sciences others will accept two with some also requiring a high grade at A-level Maths. Dental Schools regard the UCAS personal statement as particularly influential upon their selection process. Candidates who show “manual dexterity,” work experience in a Dentist surgery or at least showing they have had discussions with a dentist to make more of an impression.

Dental Nurse


Their duty is to prepare the dentist and patients for surgery by sterilizing equipment and assisting by carrying out x-rays, assisting with teeth cleaning and so on. In addition, some practices require dental nurses to carry out general office duties, including making appointments; taking payments, updating patient’s files and ensuring dentists have the necessary equipment.


The National Examining Board awards the National Certificate of Dental Nursing to nurses who have full time employment in a dental practice and pass the exam. There is also Dental Nursing/ Oral Healthcare to level 3.

Dental Hygienist/ Dental Therapist


They carry out regular treatments on patients to prevent tooth decay and gum disease through x-rays, polishing teeth and applying cavity prevention agents, such as fillings. These procedures are usually carried out under the supervision of a qualified dentist. Dental Therapists perform the same procedures as Hygienists but their patients are specifically children, older people and those with special needs, therefore they often pay visits to schools.


Therapists are required to take a diploma course at a dental hospital which lasts just over two years.

The entry requirements for a course in Dental Hygiene are between BCD-DD at A-level preferably including a science subject or a dental nursing qualification is also recognised.

Dental Technicians


Technicians operate specialist equipment and computer technology as well as using hand tools to produce dentures, crowns, bridges braces etc that dentists request for their patients. A technician also creates moulds, casts, plates and sets teeth under the dentist’s instructions. Technicians are required to have sound knowledge on the properties of various metals and plastics.


To train as a technician you need to take a diploma in Dental Technology or in Science Engineering.


Work is always available in either dental practices, dental hospitals or specialised dentistry professions, for example, orthodontist clinics.

engineering exhibitors // Channel Island Group of Professional Engineers


If you are someone who has a good grasp and enthusiasm for maths and design, practical based work, problem solving and would enjoy managing your own projects, then you may wish to consider a career in engineering. However, there are numerous types of engineering and what their job entails varies significantly. Therefore, it is important to carry out thorough research to decide which is right for you. Below is a list of just some of the popular engineering careers.

A career in aeronautical engineering involves working on the design, testing and production of aircraft, missiles and satellites, aerodynamics, navigation or communication equipment. They may be required to carry out work on space research or other forms of transport. Currently this profession is not available on the island.

A career in chemical engineering entails processing raw materials into products such as paper, cosmetics, food, fuel, fertilisers and metals in the most environmentally friendly and cost efficient way.

A career in civil engineering entails constructing major projects such as bridges, tunnels, roads, airports, dams and power supply systems. Civil engineers are also required to design projects and thus must be able to create accurate plans and drawings, which will be discussed with clients, architects and building contractors.

A career in electronics engineering entails researching, designing, producing and then testing equipment such as, computers, telecommunications equipment, radio and televisions, kitchen appliances, control systems, car parts and specialised equipment in medicine.

A career in mechanical engineering holds responsiblity for the design, development, installation and operation of plant, machinery and other mechanical equipment.

A career in structural engineering involves discussing with architects the design and construction of various buildings, such as housing, offices, bridges, schools and stadiums. They need to ensure that the conditions and foundations of the building site are sound.

Currently, there are also marine, agricultural and process engineers in the Island.


In order to find employment in the above career fields, it is encouraged to do an engineering degree. There are degrees specific to the specialism that interests you, or general degrees with the majority of courses requiring between AAA-CCC A-level grades, which must include physics and maths. It is possible, although uncommon, to enter through an apprenticeship scheme.

After completing a degree programme, particularly to qualify as a civil engineer requires a minimum of three years ‘Training under Agreement’ with the Institution of Civil Engineers. Following this, candidates are assessed upon written essays, an interview and a project/presentation will be submitted.

Highlands College offers a one year ABC Certificate in Engineering Studies at Level 1. The entry requirements for this course are GCSEs at a minimum of grade E as well as a good interview and references. Mature students will be considered on an individual basis. This is a mainly practical course covering: Engineering Skills; Welding and Fabrication; Motor Vehicle; Engineering; Electronics; Materials; Engineering Communications; Health & Safety.


In Jersey, engineers are usually employed by enterprises such as local service companies (Jersey Gas/ Jersey Water/ Jersey Telecom etc), Transport and Technical Services, consulting engineers and contractors. From time to time these companies take on work experience students although placements are very much left up to the students to find and pursue.

Finance

financeexhibitor // Jersey Finance Limited


After juggling the many subjects of a broad based education it might feel like a daunting prospect to reduce your field to one specific career path. Working in Finance does require specialist knowledge but as quickly as your focus narrows, it expands with opportunities and a huge diversity of roles.

Whilst the High Street Banks are perhaps the most visible aspect of the Finance Industry, there is also an abundance of varied roles in trust companies, stockbroking and independent financial adviser firms, fund management houses, law firms and accountancy practices that can offer a rewarding and exciting career.

BankingFrom the friendly faces we encounter in the familiar High Street branches, to the corporate specialists travelling the world devising innovative investment schemes for global organisations, banking has the full range of opportunities. You might opt to learn to trade on a dealing room floor, or handle the administration of complex deals, devise computer systems or work in customer service. There are 46 banks in Jersey so no shortage of choice.

Funds and trustsFund administrators are handling work from major finance centres and are at the cutting edge of developments, administering property funds and private equity schemes for instance, even some that require knowledge of Islamic law. There are opportunities to become fund managers who allocate money into different asset classes and recently hedge fund managers have re-located to the Island, so there is even an entry into the world of hedge funds.

The trust industry is primarily about establishing tax efficient schemes that help protect the assets of wealthy individuals and companies based all over the world. Local trust employees speak of the potential to move between departments as you learn new skills. There is considerable client contact involved and there are always vacancies in this field such is the global demand for Jersey’s expertise.

Law and AccountancyLaw firms and accountancy practices are at the forefront of the Industry and there are first class opportunities for those keen for a career as a lawyer or accountant. The leading accountants have a network of offices globally and Jersey based law firms are expanding regularly into new territories so the career possibilities are vast.

Aside from those working directly on the money side, there are large numbers of the 12,000 people employed by Finance working in marketing, human resources, property management, IT services and other related disciplines.

Moreover, whichever area of Finance you might decide to work in, there are always opportunities to develop your career further with professional qualifications and training. Plus, as you may well end up working with some of the biggest names in global finance, your job might even take you on business trips to places like London, New York, Dubai, Cape Town or Hong Kong.

So our advice is don’t dismiss the Finance Industry just because you don’t like maths!! It’s far more than that, as you see from this brief summary. Don’t just rely on what we have to say however - here are some of the comments from young people currently working in the industry:

‘When I was at school I didn’t enjoy maths and I use it now on a daily basis and what seemed at school like a pointless exercise has real meaning now.’

‘I started as an assistant administrator and after nine months I was promoted to administrator. Although I have only been with the company for two years, I have my own portfolio of around 30 clients, so I already have a lot more responsibility than I expected.’

‘I was keen to get into relationship management with customers. There’s a huge amount of support here and a definite structure to work to, so I know where I’m going.’

‘Outside the office I have taken advantage of the social opportunities presented to me through the firm. I’ve been go karting and wine tasting, whilst on the sporting side I have played five-a-side football and taken part in the swimarathon.’

‘If you have the chance, I would really recommend working overseas. The opportunity to combine my passion for travel with new work experiences was fantastic.‘

‘I took a big risk in changing careers but I definitely have no regrets. It sounds corny but I really feel that I am learning and developing every day and in the audit department I get exposure to some of the biggest companies on the island.’


Entry levels into the Finance Industry can vary dramatically depending on the skills required and the sector of the Industry in which you are interested. Some can join from school and of course there are opportunities at graduate level and beyond.

To discover more about how you might enter the Industry, the skills you require and which courses are currently on offer, the Highlands College website has lots of information. There’s also the Jersey Finance website. www.jerseyfinance.je.

But while you are here, why not ask today?

DoctorWhat does this career entail?

Doctors are concerned with the prevention, diagnosis and treat-ment of illnesses, diseases, disorders and injuries. There are two main categories of doctors, general practitioners and hospital doctors. General Practitioners (GPs) generally diagnose and provide prescriptions for more mild illnesses or refer patients to the hosp-tial if they are concerned it is serious. There are four main types of doctors employed by hospitals

•Medicine – treating general medical conditions and emergencies•Surgery – performing surgical operations and caring for patients before-hand and afterwards•Pathology – working in a laboratory investigating the cause and effect of disease.•Psychiatry – working with patients who may be mentally ill or have disabili-ties partially by prescribing their drug regimes.


To study a degree in Medicine requires grades AAA-ABB at A-level usually including Chemistry and at least one other science. Grades A/B at GCSE including English, Maths and Double Science or equivalent is also required.

Some 13,000 applications are submitted for Medicine each year with approximately 4,700 candidates being successful. In personal state-ments and interviews, admission tutors and employers do not only look for evidence of academic ability but also;

Personal Qualities – admission tutors look for applicants who are modest (as arrogance and over-confidence is often a reason for rejection,) have a compassionate nature that inspires patients to trust them and feel at ease. However, doctors must be emotionally strong and able to prevent themselves from becoming too emotion-ally attached to their patients. Admission tutors also seek candidates who show a great deal of enthusiasm, dedication and physical fitness as this reflects that they will be able to cope with the long hours and being on their feet all day.

Interests and accomplishments, for example, within school life by par-ticipating in a range of extra curricular activities as this shows skills in team work, self-motivation and dedication.

Work experience that shows interest in the welfare of others and in medical procedures. Applicants could try and arrange to observe operations or do volunteer work in hospitals or residential homes. Showing that you have discussed your career plans with a GP shows you are committed to a career in medicine. Doing voluntary work for youth clubs and old peoples homes for example, would also be acceptable as this shows a caring nature. In addition, show evidence that you are keeping up to date with current scientific, medical and ethical issues as you may be questioned on these in your interview.

Information Technology

information technologyexhibitor // British Computer Society - Jersey


Working in the IT industry is all about people. Therefore, employers are particularly interested in individuals who are strong communica-tors, have the ability to solve problems logically and enjoy working on projects in teams.

IT professionals with the right skills will always be in demand as the industry continually requires bright people who are able to develop new ideas, reinvent how a business operates as a result of using IT, develop new software and services to enable a business to be more productive and gain competitive advantage, or support individuals and communities to benefit from an ever-changing and technologically dependent world.

Furthermore, because all major organisations and industry sectors are dependent upon technology it is possible to work within a wide range of working environments including, financial services, public services, education, telecommunications, retail, media and entertain-ment …the list is endless. Consequently, opportunities for varied career advancement, self development and financial reward are excellent.


Achieving a degree in an IT related subject at university will be an advantage when it comes to seeking employment in the industry. Nevertheless, this is not the only route by which you can begin a career in IT. The following are provided as an example of routes you can take:

A-Level/University Route:• Highlands College offer BTEC National Diploma Courses in IT (3-A Levels) in conjunction with Entry Level Professional Qualifica-tions such as CompTIA A+, CompTIA Network+ and Cisco Certi-fied Network Administrator (CCNA).• Hautlieu, De La Salle, JCG and Victoria College offer AS/A2 Level courses in IT subjects (1-A Level) which can be studied in conjunc-tion with other AS/A2 Level subjects.

Once you have successfully completed these studies you will then be able to apply for a wide variety of IT courses at university in such subjects as; Internet Technologies, Computer Forensics, Networking Technologies, Computer Science as well as new areas that include Application Software Development, Multimedia and Computer Games Programming.

Professional Certification Route:Like all professional industries there are specific Professional Qualifications that can be achieved to enhance your career op-portunities. The following are an example of entry-level Professional Certifications that can be achieved in an effort to demonstrate to a future employer that you have the necessary knowledge and skills to work in the IT industry:•CompTIA A+ Hardware & Software Support Skills•CompTIA Network+ Support Skills•Microsoft Certified Desktop Support Technician (MCDST)•Microsoft Certified Systems Associate (MCSA)•Cisco Certified Network Administrator (CCNA)

In addition to these different qualifications it is important to remember that if you wish to embark on the career path of your choice you will need to set yourself apart from the rest. Employers will also be interested in individuals who can also demonstrate the following key characteristics:

PROFESSIONAL – demonstrate an understanding of business and industry needs, a willingness to engage in personal knowledge and skills development and present a professional image to clients.INFORMATION HANDLING – demonstrate the ability to plan and organise tasks and projects that allow you to draw conclusions and find solutions to problems through methodical analysis and good judgement.INTERPERSONAL – demonstrate the ability to communicate your own ideas as well as interpret and acknowledge the ideas of others.WORKING WITH OTHERS – demonstrate the ability to build relationships, be sensitive to the needs of others and work success-fully within project teams as well as lead them.SELF APPLICATION – demonstrate the ability to get tasks and projects started, be creative, decisive and show initiative when proposing new ideas and solutions to problems.DEADLINES AND STANDARDS – demonstrate the willingness and ability to produce high quality work to tight deadlines, manage pressure from external influences by being flexible and having the desire to achieve solutions that meet expected standards.

Law


If you are considering a career in law, you should be interested in current law affairs and have enthusiasm towards working through problems, research and helping others. There are various types of specialisms within law that applicants can focus on, for instance, administration law, trust, land, criminal and company law. Both Advocates and solicitors have to be extremely dedicated to their career as it can often be busy, varied and time consuming.

Jersey Solicitors generally focus on private client work, including issues such as buying and selling property, divorce and probate matters, and thus solicitors handle large quantities of paperwork, practically in the form of letters and papers. As a solicitor you will also have the opportunity to work more closely with clients than an Advocate may and therefore must have the ability to communicate with clients in a manner they will comprehend. Solicitors are expected to be thorough, sympathetic, patient and show good judgement when dealing with and advising their clients.

Jersey Advocates differ from solicitors in that they are expected to present cases in Court, upon which they obtain instruction through liaising with their clients and fee earners in their firms. Advocates often get very little notice of court hearings and must be able to assimilate a large amount of information and evidence in a short space of time. The personal qualities that are essential to become an advocate include someone who is able to distinguish relevant from irrelevant information, someone who can be persuasive in the courtroom and a good public speaker, as well as being able to advise clients about litigation risk and to heed their clients’ instructions.


To be a lawyer it is favourable to have an upper second class honours degree from a good university (due to the increasing competition in this field). For acceptance into the top universities GCSE’s at A*-C are required as well as A-level, grades AAA-ABB. However, it is possible to study law at over 200 institutions and they do not all have such high entry standards.

Many of the top universities have recently introduced a compulsory National Admission Test for Law (LNAT) although a pass doesn’t guarantee entry into the institution of your choice.

Personal Statements remain important in the universities selection process. They will be particularly impressed by a statement that shows applicants follow legal arguments in the press, and have visited courts and if possible have some work experience in a law firm. Jersey students are particularly fortunate to have a wide range of good quality law firms to apply to for work experience and bursaries. Many universities will also call an interview and will question applicants on recent events and ask how they would overcome certain issues. It is imperative in personal statements and the interview that you communicate effectively and present coherent arguments.

At university there is the option of either taking a straight law degree or taking a degree in a different field, for example, arts and science degrees which can bring advantages to the discipline of law. If you study another subject it is then required to take a Common Professional Examination (CPE) (now usually known as the Post graduate Diploma in Law - PgDL) which is a one year course on the core legal subjects. Once applicants have attained a law degree or a CPE it is desirable to take a further course in either the Legal Practice Course (LPC), if you intend on becoming an English solicitor or the Bar Vocational Course (BVC) to become an English barrister. Once either of these examinations have been taken you may wish to return to Jersey and pass the Qualifying Examination after completing 2/3 years in a Jersey firm to become qualified.

Both Advocates and Solicitors take the same qualifying examinations in Jersey. Broadly, you may be called as an Advocate if you have undertaken either of the English professional skills courses (the BVC or LPC) and you may be called as a solicitor if you have a relevant degree but do not hold either the BVC or LPC. Some Jersey solicitors elect to be “re-called” as an Advocate, after having qualified as a solicitor for three years previously.


In Jersey, not only law firms employ lawyers, also some banks and trust companies have in house legal teams. Whilst it is advantageous to have knowledge of spoken and written French, this requirement is no longer as essential as perhaps it was. Conveyancing deeds will usually be drafted by a conveyancer who will be able to assist in your understanding of these when it comes to studying for the Jersey qualifying exams. However, language skills are always useful should a client from a non-English speaking country be seeking advice from a Jersey lawyer.

Marketing

marketingexhibitor // The Chartered Institute of Marketing (Jersey)


Marketing is an exciting and dynamic subject. It continues to gain increased recognition and strategic importance throughout the business community, at both a local and international level. The industry is a global phenomenon and encompasses a wide variety of different careers. Its presence can be found in both the private and public sectors and it remains a vital tool for non-profitable organisations such as charities.

But where did it all begin? Whilst the roots of Marketing can be traced back well over a century ago, the sector really came to prominence in the 1970’s when organisations realised that they needed to recognise and accommodate customer ‘needs’ and ‘wants’ if they were to achieve long term success. Customers no longer wanted to be dictated to by institutions, instead they wanted goods and services that suited their needs and lifestyles. The role of Marketing is therefore, to identify and understand what a particular customer segment wants and then to provide a product or service that meets these tailored requirements. To help them do this, marketers rely upon a wide variety of Marketing techniques, including: market research, product development, communications, promotion, pricing and personal selling, to name but a few.

A career in Marketing is certainly varied with no two days ever the same. One day you could be liaising with the international media, launching a new product, holding a press conference or briefing your design agency. Another day, you may be channeling your creative talents in formulating an effective communications campaign, or perhaps conducting some vital customer research - the list is endless!


The good news is that in today’s modern environment, almost every business has a Marketing function. Sixth form colleges and universities offer a large range of related courses, some of which focus on individual elements of Marketing such as media studies, web design or communications. On the other hand, you may wish to study a more generic or traditional Business Studies degree which might incorporate Marketing specific modules or at least encourage you to develop the core skills required to succeed in this sector.


If you are motivated, creative and thrive on a challenge, a career in Marketing could be for you. Come and visit the CIM stand at the Careers Fair, where one of our local Jersey Marketing professionals will be happy to discuss why they have chosen Marketing and what options Marketing could hold for you.

For those of you who want to experience first hand what a job in marketing is all about, why not check out the new CIM Jersey ‘Marketing Shadow Scheme’ which will be launched in September 2006. Details are available from the CIM stand and on our website at www.cim.je.

Journalism What does this career entail? Journalists report on news stories and provide interesting features for a variety of media including newspapers, magazines, television and radio. Some of their time is spent in an office, but a great deal of time is spent in gathering the news, attending press conferences, court sittings, community events and generally talking to people in the community and so working hours can be irregular. In radio and television shift working is the norm, ranging from early-morning shifts starting at 5am through to shifts which don’t end until 10pm, or later. Normally, shifts are rotated. There is often a need for weekend work.The personal qualities that Journalists are required to have includes; •An inquisitive nature, always wanting to know what’s going on, who, where, how and why•Persuasive and analytical, able to get to the heart of a story, or issue•Excellent spoken and written English is essential, as are well-developed interpersonal and communication skills •IT skills and computer literacy is an increasing requirement, especially in broadcasting, as technology is transforming the journalists’ world •An ability to complete work under pressure and on time, in order to meet deadlines as well as being able to withstand criticism •Increasingly, in broadcast journalism, the move is towards a work-force which is multi-skilled, able to work on content for radio, television and websites.


The majority of Journalists have a degree and, these days, many spend an extra year studying for a Diploma, or Masters in either Print, or Broadcast Journalism. Some colleges also run specialist courses, for example, Fashion Journalism, Media Journalism and Sport Journalism. All credible courses lead to an industry-recognised qualification monitored and accredited by the National Council for the Training of Journalists. Journalism is also available to take as a joint honours degree with a variety of other subjects. Entry requirements vary according to the university, however, in the majority of cases universities and employers are interested in any work experience applicants have achieved in addition to any academic qualifications.

With universities and colleges turning out hundreds, if not thousands of qualified journalists every year, landing that first job in the media is a huge challenge. Employers of journalists are often faced with a large number of candidates who have broadly equal qualifications and so the ones who stand out and get through to the latter stages of selection are usually those who have a record of work experience in the industry and have taken the time to involve themselves in journalism while a student. There are various enterprises on the Island that may offer work experience. For example, the BBC and the JEP both run work-experience schemes which they use to spot talent early and develop future journalists. It is also important to try to get involved in other local, school or university magazines. If possible, attempt to begin your work experience in Journalism from a young age, certainly during your time in the Sixth Form. Finding a media related work placement

during Trident is a great way to start as is the IOD Work Shadowing Scheme or doing unpaid work experience during the holidays.

Most media organisations provide on-the-job training for new recruits. This can vary in depth and quality depending on the organisation, so make sure you investigate this before you take up a new post.

Although a degree is an advantage it is not totally essential. A Broadcast Journalist at BBC Jersey completed a two year media course at Highlands and then started as a Broadcast Assistant before winning promotion to a Broadcast Journalist.

Television/Radio Presenters

What do these careers entail? Presenters are required to be interested in current affairs and what is going on in the community they serve. They need to have a clear, confident and appealing voice and must be able to establish a rapport with their listeners. Most importantly, in radio, presenters must have that special quality which engages listeners and makes them welcome as a daily part of people’s lives.In local and regional television most of the presentation roles are filled by people who are also qualified and practising journalists.


There are no specific entry qualifications for presenters working in non-news areas; however there is immensely fierce competition for every presentation role in the media, so relevant work experience is imperative. Presenting on the radio, or television is usually an aspiration people bring in to their first job in the industry. It is unlikely that someone new to the business will win a presentation role from the start; and while many hold on to that aspiration for their entire working lives, unfortunately, a large number of them never achieve it.

What local opportunities are available for careers in this area? In Jersey we have radio and television organisations, both commercial and BBC, which employ a number of presenters. The variety of careers within these organisations includes Presenting, Reporting, Journalism, Production, Marketing and Administration. It is not unknown, for example, for someone to join an organisation in an administrative role and then, over time, gradually work towards establishing themselves in another area.The BBC offer most of its recruits in Jersey full-time, pensionable staff positions. This means that, as full members of BBC staff, the entire BBC is open for the personal career development of Jersey staff, provided they are willing to move around (chiefly in the UK) and have the ability and talent to compete for and win the promotions and the wide range of opportunities on offer.

Optometrist


This career entails examining patient’s eyes, testing their sight and writing prescriptions for glasses and contact lenses. If optometrists detect an eye defect they must be able to ask the appropriate questions to discover how such problems occurred but at the same time preventing their patients from feeling anxious. They must be accurate and patient when using sophisticated equipment.


To become an optometrist requires a degree in optometry. There is fierce competition for university entry as places are limited and the A-level entry requirements are between AAA-BBB, preferably including Maths and Physics or Biology. GCSE grades (A*-C) are required in English, Maths, Physics and preferably a Double Science award. After completing your degree you must complete full time training under the supervision of a qualified optometrist.

To assist your university application it is usually essential to have some work experience in an Opticians. However, if this is not pos-sible working in residential homes or a hospital will show you have experience in health care.

Dispensing opticians


Dispensing opticians work closely with patients to ensure that their glasses or contact lenses are suited and fitted perfectly to their faces. This involves taking measurements of patient’s faces and advising customers concerning which style, colour and weight of glasses or lenses would be most suitable for them and how to care for these. Therefore, they must possess the qualities of a good sales person, for example, being approachable, confident and persuasive. Dispensing opticians work closely with optometrists by interpret-ing the prescriptions they recommend and issuing them to patients. Depending on their work placement they may be required to carry out the administrative duties, such as, payments, customer records and checking stock levels.


To qualify as a dispensing optician you can get a degree in optical management which requires between 120-180 points (BC-DD). In addition there are degrees in ophthalmic dispensing and ophthalmic dispensing with management which require DD grades. All of these subjects request at least one science subject at A-level with a prefer-ence for Maths. Few institutions offer these degrees and therefore competition is fierce.

Optical assistants are responsible for welcoming customers, answer-ing questions, providing information, booking appointments and ordering frames and contact lenses. They will also be expected to uphold the stores appearance to ensure it is welcoming for custom-ers. It is useful to have an enthusiasm and knowledge for fashion in order to assist customers in selecting the correct glasses or lenses for them.


Academic qualifications are not essential but GCSE’s, especially in biology and other science subjects are advantageous. Any previous experience that applicants have in retail would be beneficial.

What local opportunities are available in these career areas?

Job opportunities for all optometrists as well as Optical Assistants and Dispensing opticians are available in local clinics, hospital, labora-tory and opticians, such as Vision Express.

Planning & Environment

Planning What do these careers entail?

Employees in the Planning Department are responsible for visiting development sites to consider how a new development will effect the surrounding environment and whether or not planning permis-sion should be granted. This includes advising on schemes before they are submitted, dealing with appeals and handling a huge number of enquiries by phone, letter and email.

Employees in planning will have to negotiate with a range of people, from the business minded, such as architects and developers, to the individual neighbours who have no previous experience of Planning or building but who may be affected by a new site. These parties will often have conflicting opinions. Therefore employees must be persuasive, but also sympathetic, and have a genuine enthusiasm for improving the quality of life and the environment.

The Planning and Building Services Department comprises of many different sections so career paths in this area can be very varied. Examples of key areas include:

• Policy and Projects• Design and Conservation• Development Control • Building Control • Legal Enforcement• Mapping.


Within Planning there are several administrative roles which do not require previous specialist Planning training but do require the same enthusiasm for Planning and personal skills. To become a Planning Officer, almost invariably you will need an honours degree in a relevant subject, for example, Town and Country Planning. The entry requirements for this course are A-level grades BBB-CCD.

Other related subjects that you may want to consider are Country-side Management and Heritage Management. Many graduates then progress to a master’s degree, which the department may support. On-the-job training is often offered as an alternative to further studying for those who have just graduated.

Work experience is beneficial for university entry or entry into employment. It is important to know the plans and proposed devel-opments in your area so that you can discuss them during inter-views. Discussing your career with employees in this department is advantageous.

Environment


The Environment Division is split into four general areas of activity: Environmental Protection, Environmental Management, Policy and Projects and Meteorological Services and therefore career paths in this area are also very varied. Areas of Departmental responsibility include, for example:

• Agricultural and Horticultural advice and inspection • Awareness and Interpretation • Countryside Management• Ecology • Environmental Protection • Environmental Policy • Meteorological Services • Sea Fisheries Management


A degree is the usual path for entrants into this career, often in a subject such as Chemistry, Biology, Environmental Science or Envi-ronmental Studies. The entry requirements for this type of course vary from A-level grades AAA-CCC, usually to include at least two science subjects, especially Chemistry, with Geography and Biology being advantageous. Many graduates then progress to a master’s degree.

It also helps if you have gained some work experience and the Environment department has offered limited opportunities for this, including Trident placements as well as occasional placements for undergraduate Jersey students. They also employ a number of volun-teers which is a very good way of finding out if it is the career area for you. During the university selection process and when look-ing for employment it is essential to stress that you have a strong interest in environmental issues and keep up to date with current news. Showing experience of carrying out field work and a range of outside activities is advantageous.

Psychology

psychologyexhibitor // Education, Sport & Culture Department

Psychology has progressed to become a very popular career choice, due to its diversity and rewarding nature. Students who apply for a psychology degree should be interested in studying human behav-iour and the methods psychologists use to do so, which ranges from physiology and mathematics to sociology and the arts. Admission tutors at universities are continually reminding students who choose psychology, that it is a science based course. There are various types of psychologists and each career deals with different circumstances and clients, some who may be nervous, depressed, aggressive or defeatist. Whilst the representatives at the Careers Fair are specialists in Educational psychology, this is just one of a range of careers in this field, the main ones of which are detailed below.


Educational psychologists are concerned with the learning and devel-opment of children and young people who are encountering problems in education, for example, disruptive behaviour or social and emo-tional problems. They are required to work directly with the children to enhance their learning and help them overcome any educational difficulties, for example, through counselling or giving advice. They also interact indirectly with teachers and parents in order to discuss the most beneficial education provision for children with difficulties or disabilities.

Clinical psychologists aim to reduce psychological distress and to improve the everyday lives of people with psychological difficulties, for example, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, learning dis-abilities, child and family problems, and serious mental illness. They are required to undertake assessments on their patient’s behaviours using psychometric tests, interviews and direct observations. The outcome will often lead to therapy, counselling or advice being offered. Clinical psychologists usually liaise with social workers, medical practitioners and other health professionals and have the same working environ-ment as these.

Forensic psychology entails carrying out assessments and therapy for people in the criminal justice system, for example, offenders in prison or on probation. The types of therapy forensic psychologists may apply includes, anger management, drug and/or alcohol addiction and social skills training. However, forensic psychologists also offer support and advice to victims of crime, witnesses, judges, juries and prison staff. They also research into psychological problems associated with crimi-nal behaviour in general. There are a lot of responsibilities and risks in this job, as they often have to assess whether prisoners are likely to re-offend and may have to represent this evidence in court, therefore they must be an excellent judge of character and not easily influenced or manipulated by prisoners.

Sport and Exercise psychology is becoming an increasingly popular area to study. The career entails working with sports players either in a team or individual sport, at a range of levels, in order to help participants cope psychologically with competitions and the training it requires. They may also be required to offer counselling to athletes who have sustained an injury or who have lost a competition. In addi-tion, sport and exercise psychologists work with referees and coaches to advice them in their career and help them deal with any stress it entails.


Regardless of the type of psychologist you wish to be, it is compulsory to take a degree in psychology. This does not qualify you as a psychol-ogist, as you must complete a postgraduate doctoral programme in your specific area. Psychology is available at most universities and thus the A-level entry grades vary drastically depending on the institute. In general, universities do not require psychology A-level and in fact would often prefer a maths and biology background. There is often a mismatch between the expectation and actual delivery of a psycholo-gy degree, sometimes because there is an emphasis on the ‘softer’ and more applied areas of psychology in the material covered at A-level and students are often not prepared for degree level psychology due to lack of research of what the course involves. If you are considering applying for a psychology course, universities have emphasised that you must be aware that psychology is a science subject and thus a considerable amount of the course will focus on experimentations and statistical analysis.

The competition for psychology courses is fierce, with the amount of applicants rising by 40,000 in the last ten years, making it the most popular science subject. Therefore, universities do not just select students based on academic grades but also by their work experience, particularly in care work. It would also be beneficial to meet with psy-chologists to gain knowledge of the work and discuss this interaction in your personal statement and interviews. A psychology degree offers an excellent background of skills that will make graduates eligible for a variety of jobs, if they ever wish to make a career change, for example, in administration and management, business and finance, information technology and teaching and research.

For more information www.bps.org.uk is a useful website. It includes a free leaflet ‘So you want to be a psychologist?’ which all students should read before embarking on a degree or career change.

Recruitment Consultants are contacted by a range of companies who are seeking employees to fill their vacancies. It is the respon-sibility of the Recruitment Consultant to meet with candidates and give career advice by establishing their skills and experience. This enables them to recommend suitable positions and match the ideal candidates to the right job.

They work very closely with their clients to identify the ideal can-didates for them and they often have excellent inside information about companies, benefits and cultures to help the candidates decide which company would be the best to suit them. They would then arrange interviews and they can also provide interview preparation and tips to help candidates who may be nervous.

Retail


Retail is a fast-growing and ever changing sector, employing over 17% of Jersey’s population. There are numerous industries that you can specialise in, for example, fashion and accessories, food and drink, pharmaceuticals, books, to name just a few. There are various stores within each section of retail that are all extremely competitive with one another and the pressure lies on their sales teams to ensure their store is the best. Although the job descrip-tion and working environment varies depending on the retail sector, the primary importance for all retail stores is customer care, which involves working to satisfy old, loyal customers and attract new customers. Other duties in stores include maintaining a tidy environment; ensuring products remain topped up, till work and possibly ordering stock.

An example of how a retail environment can aid people develop-ment is demonstrated at Marks and Spencer. The M & S Group in Jersey has won the prestigious Investors in People award and continues to develop, train and coach its team to be the best it can be.

The newly launched career path at M&S is a set, structured train-ing programme to aid succession and success from sales assist-ants through to team leaders and ultimately managerial roles. Our next step at M&S is to encourage A-Level students to think about a career with M&S normally offered to Graduate candi-dates. Stephen Forrester, Human Resources and Training Manager at M&S emphasises that the potential earnings and rewards, and job satisfaction for working at M&S will prove a huge hit with our A – Level candidates who will hopefully one day be running our stores! We are committed to driving excellent levels of service, standards and product through a hugely interesting and dynamic form of coaching and learning.

In retail you are responsible for meeting the customers needs and abiding by the motto “the customer is always right,” therefore certain personal qualities are required, for example, confidence, knowledge and persuasion to sell your product, a friendly and helpful manner, and possibly the most important is being able to remain calm and remain polite when dealing with awkward customers.


In order to become a sales assistant a good level of education is advantageous but not essential. Previous work experience in any retail area can often be more influential when applying for a job. Opportunities do exist for promotions to either supervisor or managerial positions for those who prove that they can work well under pressure, have organisational skills, can work well in a team and have excellent people-management skills.


There are a variety of stores in the Island who are always looking to train new sales assistants, supervisors and managers. Having experience in retail will be invaluable if you wish to make a career change.

RAF Airmen/Airwomen

What does this career entail? First and foremost the duty of the RAF is to defend the UK’s airspace and look out for its interests, provide aid and protec-tion during times of war and provide mountain and coastal rescue service for civilians. In order to defend the UK and its interests, RAF airmen/airwomen must carry out frequent military duties, for example, guarding the RAF stations, participating in military training, exercises and operations. Alongside this, RAF personnel have the opportunity to learn a trade that can be applied if they wish to re-turn to the island after their service in the RAF. There are over 40 trades to chose, ranging from, aircraft servicing, catering, dentistry, chefs, firefighters, medical support, photographers and RAF police. RAF personnel usually work normal office hours but must always be on call for duty.


Candidates have to be at least 16 years old, although some trades request older. No academic qualifications are required although gaining GCSE’s, A-Levels and a degree will increase your chances in this competitive field. However, qualifications will be essential for some professions. All applicants must pass health checks, an RAF aptitude test and a selection interview and a final interview. Promo-tions are a competitive selection and are based upon merits. During the interview process, the successful applicants are those who show that they can follow orders, are self-disciplined, have good stamina, remain calm in any situation and have quick reactions. It is important to show that you can work well in a team. If you can show that you have been an active member in clubs and societies this will emphasis your teamwork abilities.

All recruits must complete 9 weeks of basic military training at RAF Halton in Buckinghamshire, which involves physical fitness, RAF service knowledge and military weapon training. Following this, recruits begin training within their specialised trade, with the length of training ranging from a few weeks to eighteen months depending on the career.

RAF Officer


An RAF Officer’s duty is to supervise and lead airmen/airwomen in their duties both external and internal to the RAF stations and in flights. They are responsible for the development, welfare and disci-pline of RAF personnel and in order to do this effectively, officers must be able to act responsibly, cope under pressure, be physically fit, be motivated and able to motivate others, listen and commu-nicate effectively with soldiers, as well as inflicting firm discipline when required. RAF officers have over 20 careers they can chose to specialise in, for example, they can become pilots, weapon systems officers, fighter controllers, air traffic controllers, engineers, careers in administrative work or in medicine.


Applicants applying to become an RAF officer must be a least 17 years and 6 months old. Candidates are required to pass numerous selection tests. The selection process lasts for a few days and also involves taking aptitude tests, practical initiative tests, fitness assess-ments, interviews and occupational health assessments.

Following this, officers begin training in their specialism. For some specialisms you are required to have professional qualifications to show that you have had training in that particular field. However, for those specialisms that do not require any specific qualifications, applicants must have at least five GCSE’s at grades A*-C, including English and Maths and a least two A-levels. In order to qualify as an RAF officer it is not compulsory to have a degree although 40% of applicants are graduates and there is fierce competition for this career.

Promotion opportunities are available although can take a lot of time and commitment. In order to be upgraded from an officer to a flight lieutenant can take anywhere between 18months and 6 years. Further promotions involve a competitive selection process.


All training is done in the UK and once in the RAF you must be will-ing to be situated in the UK or sent abroad if necessary.

What does a career in sports development entail?

Currently, there are 11 sports development officers on the island, although 8 of these only concentrate on one sporting area. Further sports development officers are hired for specific projects or during school holidays. Placements are available for local students during these periods, who have experience and qualifications, for example, a National Pool Lifeguard Qualification, Football Level 1, First Aid, Trampoline Coach, Coaching in netball, cricket, hockey and so on. There are frequent courses on the Island for all these qualifications.

It is the responsibility of a sports development officer to organise activities, venues, volunteers, participants, funding and grants to offer an opportunity for people of all ages and abilities to develop their sporting skills and find an enjoyable way of maintaining a healthier lifestyle. They are required to have excellent interpersonal skills. A popular misconception concerning this career is that applicants think they will spend all day playing sports. In actual fact more time is spent organising the events than supervising them.


Sports Development degrees have only been introduced in recent years. Current sports development officers were offered placements for having experience in sports administration and planning and coaching abilities. However if you wish to obtain a degree, related subjects include Sports science/studies, and Health science/stud-ies, which require A-level grades ABB-CCC including a science and maths or a Physical education degree, requiring A-level entry grades BBC-DDE. Education, Sport & Culture offer placements for under-graduates during their placement year.

Highlands College offers BTEC qualifications in Sport if you would like to study 100% sport rather than a variety of A-levels, one of which would be sport. There are three different levels you can study at, and once these qualifications have been obtained you can seek employment in the sport industry or go to university.

What local opportunities are available in this area?

Sports clubs and associations, National Governing Bodies and The Department of Education, Sport & Culture all look to employ sports development officers and students during school holidays. The local opportunities for Sport development officers are fairly limited on the Island so candidates may want to consider the variety of other careers that undergraduates enter after completing a degree in a sport related fields, for example, education professions, IT, social and welfare, marketing, sales and advertising, scientific research and health professions.

Personal Trainer


Becoming a personal trainer is one of the few opportunities to turn a hobby into a career. You need to have an enthusiasm for sport and leading a healthy lifestyle, which will be applied to guide clients on nutrition, lifestyle and fitness, in order to help them achieve their goals. This will often take place in one-to-one sessions, where a programme of circuit and weight training will be established for each client. In addition, you will also be expected to plan exercise rou-tines and demonstrate them in fitness classes, for example, aerobics, step, keep fit etc. It is the job of the Personal Trainer to ensure all gym members are operating the equipment safely and effectively.

Teaching

teachingexhibitor // Education, Sport & Culture Department


Teaching is an increasingly popular choice of career, as it is seen as one of the most rewarding professions but also the most varied, as no day is ever the same. Teachers must be very dedicated and aware that there are out-of hour duties to complete, such as, creating lesson plans, reports, marking student’s work, parent evenings and supervising extra-curricular activities, which all encroach upon home life. Teachers should strive to help pupils reach their potential and therefore personal qualities such as, a good imagination, ability to inspire confidence and relate to young people are essential, as well as having a creative mind, in order to maintain the classes interest and attention.


To become a teacher you will need a degree before you can apply for a postgraduate course in teacher training (PGCE.) If considering secondary teaching, the degree you choose or half of a joint honours degree, if this path is preferential, must be specific to the subject you wish to teach. Secondary school teachers must obtain a minimum of 2 A-levels, as well as a minimum of C Grades in English and Maths. Primary school teachers are also required to have a GCSE C grade or above in Science.

An alternative to a subject based degree and PGCE is to take a BEd degree, which includes teaching practice as an integral part of the course. This option may be suited to someone who is certain they want a career in teaching.

To become a teacher it is advantageous to have experience in working with children, especially at the age you wish to teach. For example, you could volunteer to help children’s clubs, such as play schemes, youth clubs and brownies. Additionally, you can work with younger pupils in your school, for example, through peer mentoring and tutoring. However, if you are accepted onto a PGCE it is then compulsory to arrange work experience in a school.


Competition for teaching posts, especially Primary school, is strong, but once you have secured a position as a teacher there are usually opportunities to move around different schools within both the States and private sectors. Teachers are required in all subjects for secondary schools but more opportunities are available within Maths, Science and English areas.

Graduates without a PGCE or alternative teaching qualifications, are eligible to apply for posts in secondary schools if they took a relevant degree to the post they are applying for. If they are successful in their application, the school and department provide professional training and support during their first and second years in post. In recent years, graduates with subjects such as media, psychology, photography and business studies have been more successful, although competition is fierce and obtaining a PGCE in the UK is still the preferred route.

Veterinary

What does this career entail? In order to succeed in a career as a veterinary surgeon, applicants must be excellent at science and able to accept a physically demand-ing job that requires a lot of commitment and responsibility. Vets will have to undertake tasks such as x-rays, ultra sounds, prescribing drugs, giving injections and carrying out operations. In addition, vets must be sympathetic and patient as they will be required to consult distressed owners, who will often be present in the operating thea-tre and may ask a lot of questions. Veterinary surgeons rarely work a nine to five day and rota work is more common due to the major-ity of vets providing a 24 hour service. Vets must also be on call in case of emergencies and thus it is essential that they can drive.


To qualify as a Veterinary Surgeon requires at least a five year de-gree course in Veterinary Science/Medicine. The entry requirements for this are A-level grades between AAA-BBB which must include a least two but usually three of the following subjects: biology, maths, physics and chemistry. A GCSE profile of A* to B is usually also required. It is important to consider that there is fierce competi-tion for degree places as less than ten universities offer a course in Veterinary Science/Medicine. Following this course, years of training must be completed before promotion to a Veterinary surgeon.

There are three crucial criteria that universities look for in appli-cants applying for a course in veterinary science as well as veteri-nary nursing. Candidates academic achievements are essential as they reflect whether or not students can cope with the demands of the course. In addition it is imperative that applicants show that they are capable of handling animals and show experience in caring for them, either through volunteer work, involvement with animal charities, work experience and even pet ownership (although on its own this will not be enough to secure a place on the course.) In Jersey most veterinary surgeries support student work experi-ence through the Trident Scheme. However, the number of people wanting experience outweighs the number of placements available. Students must be creative and understand that work experience on a farm with animals, at horse stables and in pet shops for example, can all be valuable work experience to build up a varied personal statement to impress universities. As well as experience with ani-mals, it is important that applicants demonstrate that they are good communicators and this can be shown through a variety of employ-ment, such as retail or waitressing. Finally, personal attributes are also influential as mentioning various activities you have participated in shows motivation, dedication and often team work. By referring to the above points in your personal statements and interviews, this will prevent you from being one of the many students whose ap-plications have been rejected, according to universities, for showing a lack of motivation or understanding of ethical and animal issues.

Veterinary Nurses


Veterinary practices require nurses who genuinely care about the welfare of animals, whether it be domestic, zoo or farm animals. If you are considering this profession it is essential that you are not faint-hearted or squeamish as veterinary nurses must assist through out operations, give injections, take samples for laboratory test-ing, carry out x-rays, sterilise equipment. As well as this veterinary nurses care for animals during surgery and their recovery period, by feeding them, cleaning their accommodation and giving medicine. Veterinary nurses are also required to carry out general office du-ties.


It is possible to train ‘on the job’ depending on the venerinary surgery. It is often usual to qualify as a veterinary nurse by a two year university course. The A level entry requirements for this course ranges between 220-260 points (CCD-DDE), which must include Biology but in some cases English, maths and physics are also requested. However, completion of this course does not qualify you as a Veterinary Nurse as work experience in a Veterinary practise is required beforehand.


These careers are required in veterinary practices, at the Veterinary Hospital, working for the J.S.P.C.A and the Durrell Wildlife Preserva-tion Trust.
