Do you know a SEOTY winner?

We've been running the SEOTY competition for ten years now so we thought it might be interesting for our this anniversary competition to take a look back at past winners. We've tracked a few of them down to find out more about what happened to them after winning the Student Employee of the Year Award and we'll be featuring them throughout the 2012 competition so look out for them!

Here they are as they looked when they won the award. 

	2011 Winner Mark Graham, University of Greenwich Now studying BSc in computer science It did help me get an interview for a summer job within the business school. I had several notable facebook friend adds from CMS University management. And it has helped me raise awareness of the Disabilities I have with people that have asked about it.
	2010 Winner Carol Radlett, University of Gloucester Now Front of house manager for The Frogmill Hotel, Cheltenham It proved to prospective employers you worked hard and could achieve the end goals. The award enabled me to shine above other candidates in a job, and for this it has lead me to my perfect job where I have now been nominated for another hotel and catering award for Front of House Manager of the Year.
	2009 Winner Adam Sumar-Tarmohamed, Brunel University Now Finance Assistant with Avalon Entertainment I thought 'what an amazing achievement to win among 100s of others' but then the news came that I was selected as the national winner! This is a great honour.
	2008 winner Emmanuel Amoah, University of Hull Now a Risk and Controls Analyst for Zurich International Life Ltd. I think having the SEOTY on my CV was very attractive to employers and got me where I am at the moment. At interviews I ensured I emphasised the award to market myself as the very best and most eligible candidate for the job.
	2007 winner Olusegun Adetunji, Liverpool Hope University Now a Programme Management Officer at HSBC Olu copes extremely well with the diverse array of problems and social situations he has encountered. His enthusiasm (even in the most trying of circumstances) is nothing short of irrepressible, only matched by his discipline, dilligence and motivation. from Olu's nominator
	2006 Winner Jonathan Lewis, University of Nottingham Now working as a solicitor for Linklaters  SEOTY helped me because it gave recognition to the fact that it is possible to combine work and full-time study. In my early days, people would often comment that I seemed more mature and professional than my age would suggest, and this is in part due to the professionalism and working discipline that comes from having experience of a working environment whilst studying.
	2005 Winner Natalie Muldoon, Liverpool John Moores University Now Executive Officer working for the Government Winning SEOTY in 2005 definitely added real value to my employment opportunties. both of my subsequent employers eommented on how they saw the award as a unique attribute, which set me aside from other candidates. haveing the award on my CV gave me confidence attending interviews. I see it as quantative proof that I am committed to making a difference within whatever organisatin I work for.
	2004 Winner Anna-Lisa Bergstrom Allen, University of Sussex Now Senior Producer with Sony Computer Entertainment Europe  It showed that I had been recognised for both my academic achievement and my commitment to my job, as well as being able to manage both studying and working at the same time. I was incredibly honoured to have won it! There’s no doubt in my mind that my employers were impressed when they saw it on my CV.
	2003 Winner Abbas Manji, Loughborough University He is ambitious, a hardworker and always wanting to succeed... Abbas often goes beyond his duties to get the best results and to achieve the best. from Abbas' nominator
	2002 Winner Jamie Flint, Sheffield Hallam University Now Commercial Manager with BT Openreach I always wanted to stand out from the crowd and having an award on your CV as a graduate for employment is definitely a talking point with employers. I was privileged to be given the award and I encourage others to look for opportunities to stand out and succeed in their aspirations.
