Get informed

Learning how to articulate what you have to offer to an employer is vital, both verbally and in writing. Employers can only go by what they see, so don’t get beaten to a job role by someone less qualified who has written a better application or is more prepared for an interview. Keep a look out for the following events to learn more.

• Employer Led Skills Workshops • Recruiter in Residence and Mock Interview Sessions • Skills Seminars and Workshops

Get ahead of the game The Careers Service provides you with an opportunity to explore a range of career options. Maybe you are curious about a sector you don’t know much about or you want to network with company representatives and gain an insight into an interesting company. Our Focus on weeks, Careers Fairs, Careers Forums and Getting into talks are just some of the ways to find out more. Many employers, especially the larger graduate recruiters, will set early closing dates or will recruit on a rolling programme, which means that often it can be a “first come, first served” basis. Don’t leave your job search too late.
