In this episode, we interviewed Dhyey Dave from the University of London, who shares insights on balancing his BSc Business and Management studies with an hybrid career in finance at a Netherlands-based telecommunications company. The conversation delves into the importance of the so-called Global Employability Skills identified by us at the University of London Career Service, focusing on self-management, interpersonal, and work approach skills. Highlighting examples from his careers and academic journey, Dhyey discusses the pivotal roles of communication, collaboration, leadership, and persuasion in both academic and professional settings. He underscores how proactive communication, even in remote and hybrid environments, fosters meaningful connections and effective collaboration. The discussion also touches upon sports as an effective way for honing these important interpersonal skills.
