Law Blog back online

Hi Everyone,

As some of you may know, I'm the new careers adviser for the School of Law and Criminology.  I'm sorry that the blog hasn't been too active over the last few weeks, I'll try and keep on top of this now although I wanted to check that this is something you still find useful?

I am really keen to hear your thoughts and suggestions: Do you use the blog?  Is this the best way of passing information?  Do you use Linkedin?  Would you prefer a Linkedin group?  This could perhaps include employers and be more interactive.

I want to ensure that we are offering services that you as students use.

Please e-mail directly on j.wheldon@derby.ac.uk

I look forward to hearing from you.

Jo Wheldon
