Welcome to Careersphere, the new podcast by the University of Stirling Careers Team! Each month, we bring you new insights and interviews, brought to you by experts and alumni linked to the University of Stirling.

This month's guest is Arian Zare, one of our own colleagues who works as our Careers Co-ordinator. Arian takes care of a variety of tasks including marketing and communications, systems and administration in support of a small but busy Careers Service.

In this podcast Arian shares his story about coming to the UK as an international student, and how he made the most of his time at university, including internships and part-time work in a variety of departments. He then tells us about his current job and ambitions for the future, before sharing his top tips for current students.

Big thanks to Arian for giving up his time to join the podcast.
