"   If you haven&amp;#039;t heard about this month&amp;#039;s #CosmoCareers events, then where have you been! We&amp;#039;ve all been really excited about the launch of Cosmo&amp;#039;s very first series of career seminars and we kicked it off this week with our first talk in London on Tuesday and Manchester on Wednesday. Of course I was there live tweeting all the advice given from our speakers throughout each event from the @CosmopolitanUK Twitter account using the #CosmoCareers hashtag, which also meant I got to travel with the speakers up to Manchester for the event on Wednesday. I love, love, love Manchester for so many reasons, so I was really excited to get a chance to head up there, not just to meet our readers, but also to sample their nightlife too. So with the Cosmo Editor, events team and speakers in tow, we hopped on a train up to Manchester. We stayed at the Light Boutique Aparthotel (an awesome venue, but you&amp;#039;ll be able to read more about this in the Cosmo Travel section at a later date) and after our #CosmoCareers seminar we headed for a little bite to eat at the newly opened Dog Bowl on Whitworth Street West.  Run by the same guys who own the hugely popular Blag Dog Ballroom around the corner, Dog Bowl features five ten-pin bowling lanes as well as a fab food menu filled with Tex-Mex inspired dishes made with local produce. Think anything from quesadillas, BBQ grilled steak and everything in between, with big plates, small plates and sharing platters on option. Their cocktails were pretty banging too and they had some deliciously unique drinks on offer. Personal favourites include the Passionfruit Tequila Mojito (not for the faint hearted), Roasted Pineapple Margarita and the Bourbon Cookie \u2013 who know that a whiskey would go so well with butterscotch? And whilst you may doubt our bowling skills after all this food and drink, it turns out that we&amp;#039;re actually pretty good at bowling as it goes \u2013 well, some of us were anyway\u2026 Let&amp;#039;s just say the drink gave us some bowling dutch courage. Hmm, will there be a Cosmo bowling leaguer starting anytime soon? Watch this space\u2026 Definitely one of the most fun Cosmo nights out I&amp;#039;ve ever had. Big thanks to Dog Bowl for having Team Cosmo en masse \u2013 we&amp;#039;ll be back soon! And thank you to everyone who came along to the London and Manchester #CosmoCareers event, hope to see you all again soon.
