This is the book that every final year student and recent graduate needs to navigate life after education, which can be - in equal parts - exciting, daunting and stressful. It will guide you through all the things people seem to expect you to already know when you leave university. Graduation is supposed to mark a new beginning, full of opportunity. But the months after leaving the university bubble can feel surprisingly overwhelming. So much so that many will experience the graduation blues, AKA the Quarter Life Crisis. It's a time of massive change and uncertainty: relocating, leaving friends, adjusting to life back home with your parents, finding paid work, choosing a career, all while working out how to become financially secure and living off a tight budget without student discounts. Graduates may shine academically, but most leave university with limited life skills, ill-prepared for these real-world challenges. And there has always been an information chasm: students are rarely taught how to navigate the jobs market, personal finance or renting. Grads tend to rely on family and friends for guidance, who themselves lack confidence to advise on these areas. Or they turn to the internet, where advice can be confusing, inaccurate, and agenda-pushing. A key problem is graduates don't know what knowledge they lack, and you can't find the answers if you don't know the questions. And that is why we wrote this book The perfect graduation gift to ease the transition from education into working life. From career choices and job applications to sorting finances and looking after your mental health, this graduate guide will help readers to devise a plan of action, execute it, and keep positive along the way. This book...Gives practical tips for managing uncertainty, helps you see the 'big picture', set goals and make plans to keep you motivatedExplores the many options after uni, from grad schemes and entry-level roles with businesses big and small, to further education, travel, and self-employmentShows you how to stand out in job applications: with CVs, online profiles, cover letters, tests and interviews, as well as how to nurture your network and get more from work experienceCovers need-to-knows about student loans and bank accounts, how to budget and live within your means, tips for saving and navigating the rental marketEncourages you to tend to your physical and mental wellbeing - spanning fitness, food, stress and sleep - because staying healthy will make this period of change far easier to handle About the authorsMother and daughter team, Julie and Sophie Phillipson, founded student/graduate site HelloGrads.com in 2016, when Sophie and friends began to navigate adult life, hampered by a lack of life skills and resources. Through the site, social media and events, they have helped thousands ease into life after university. They consulted all sorts of experts, from CEOs of multinationals to entrepreneurs of successful startups, recruiters, business advisers, careers services, counsellors, banks and property agents, as well as many grads who have been through the uni-to-work transition. This helped them put together a rich source of information to show graduates the many possible routes to success and fulfilment. For a life stage full of change and uncertainty, this graduate guide - written by graduates, for graduates - will help you take control and feel confident and upbeat about your future.
Whip-hot & Grippy

Whip-hot & Grippy

Whip-hot & Grippy is a collection of possibilities in a state of emergency. In the first part, a series of long-form and sequenced poems augment various states of being divided/plural in attempts to activate unauthorised directions. Disrupted tangents are punctuated by recurring muzak, advertising-speak, sex scenes, terrorism, broadcast media, consumption-anxiety, protest, human-animal relations and cosmic departures. Throughout, informed discontent and humour act as drivers of dissent, mining conceptual complexity and testing poetry’s combustible potential. The book culminates in ‘more flinching’, a multi-part poem first published and freely distributed in an exhibition. Merging the news of a military dog, shot in service, with the death of a pet dog, it collapses images with bodies and politics with intimacies, enacting failed attempts to navigate practical and emotional entanglements. Whip-Hot & Grippy is Heather Phillipson's second collection, following her highly praised debut, Instant-flex 718, published in 2013. As well as being an award-winning poet, she is an internally renowned artist whose sculpture, ‘The End’, was installed on Trafalgar Square’s Fourth Plinth in 2020.

Dione Sheradon's young love turns to bitter hatred when her betrothed, army officer Sir Ralph Barnet, deserts her on her father's bankruptcy. Sure she is pregnant and despairing of her suicidal parents, she wanders into the arms of simple Jack Heron, a wagon driver for Wylam pit. They are swiftly married and he believes the child is his. Dione has to become Dee Heron, living in a one-room house with her in-laws and never being quite accepted among the miners' wives. Dee rests gratefully in the love of Jack but her baby Billy reminds her of Ralph and she cannot love him. He becomes a troublesome child, doubly so when his brother Francis is born and Dee embraces Jack's child with all the love she feels for Jack. What terrible deed will the unloved child perpetrate on his brother when they grow to manhood and fall in love with the same girl?

Heather Phillipson is an internationally exhibiting artist and award-winning poet. Instant-flex 718 is her much anticipated first book-length collection. She is already a widely published and anthologised poet. Her Faber New Poets pamphlet appeared in 2009, and her text Not an Essay from Penned in the Margins in 2012. She received substantial publicity as one of the first four writers featured in the Faber New Poets launch, taking part in a national tour supported by extensive TV, radio and newspaper coverage. Heather Phillipson’s poems are a protest against well-stitched seams, an off-loading of intellectual baggage, a shout from the deepish channels of fear. With its cover designed by the artist-poet herself, Instant-flex 718 is an operatics of reactivation. Phillipson has an impertinence and dynamism incomparably her own. Her poems observe the ordinary world stagger.

Drawing on interviews with over 100 first generation migrant women in the London borough of Tower Hamlets (home to the largest population of Bangladeshis in the UK) the report: · presents the first detailed study of this significant ethnic minority group; · identifies the pressures facing women as they juggle competing demands from younger and older generations; · addresses particular concerns such as the barriers to adopting English language within the community; · highlights the issues for those involved in service delivery; · demonstrates the range of issues to be considered when trying to access minority ethnic communities for the purpose of research. The report will make fascinating reading for those working in the field of minority ethnic research, where studies of this depth are still comparatively rare. It will also be of particular value to policy makers and those involved in the delivery of services, as well as academics, students and practitioners with an interest in minority ethnic groups, women, and problems of social exclusion more generally.
