Nothing wrong with Oxford from the MD to Customer Services, everyone is approachable, professional and helpful..... Except Career Development.
Well he is in essence a nice guy, just unhelpful, completely disinterested and always trying, seemingly, to get those "annoying students" off his back.
It's a shame as Oxford have gone to great lengths to bring the facilities into the 21st century, career development really is the weak link, unless of course it is purley only a marketing tool to bring in new business, and not there to actually help students, in which case it's a rip roaring success. You always hear students talk about it in a "it's a waste of time, there is no point bothering" kind of fashion.
The current career development officer is good for the CV/Interview seminars no doubt, but if Oxford really want to increase their partner airline tie-ups (like CTC are doing) and really want Career development to serve the interests of the students (Oxford recomendations, Airline recruiters of tomorrow) they need to have a dynamic, corporate, gregarious go-getter type of person in the job and not a disinterested political pussy cat.
For Oxfords sake it needs addressing as there is much dis-satisfaction on this part of the service, it simply aint good enough
