23F Finishing History MA (Bologna/King’s College London/Barcelona). Looking for career paths / improve my CV?
Hey everyone,
I’m a 23-year-old student currently finishing up my Master’s in History at the University of Bologna, graduating next year. I spent a semester at the University of Barcelona, and I’ll start my final year next September at King’s College London, where I’ll write my dissertation (KCL).
I love the subject, but I’m fully aware that the history job market is incredibly tough. I know I can always consider to go into teaching, maybe even academia (how? I’d love to do a PhD in London), but I’m feeling stuck on how to pivot.
I’ve been fortunate enough to build up an international profile, but honestly, I’m afraid that these study abroad experiences won't mean anything to employers if I don’t know how to sell them properly.
