On the 17th March, Michelle and I attended our first ICSA Careers Evening. Initially somewhat surprised by the choice of venue, we were immediately swept away by its grandeur upon arrival and could see why the House of Commons had been chosen to host the evening. The building is magnificent and as we made our way through the Visitors section to the Terrace, where our reception was being held, we couldn’t help but be impressed by the beautiful surroundings and felt very privileged.

Stephen O’Brien MP and FCIS hosted the event and welcomed us all before we assembled for an informative talk on the ICSA’s professional qualification and the importance of the Company Secretary’s role.

The evening was well attended by qualified Chartered Secretaries, ICSA members, potential entrants into the profession, University Career Advisors and ICSA staff – so for us, it was a great opportunity to network. We hope that we were able to offer useful advice and help on recruitment and company secretarial jobs – we certainly learnt a great deal about the institution – and we look forward to hearing from many of those we met at the evening.
Feel free to write me (Nicola), or Michelle, or connect with us on the BLT & CSS Recruitment Network on LinkedIn!
