THE CAREERS SERVICE AND YOUR YEAR AHEAD
Careers term by term
Michaelmas term Michaelmas term is the time to talk to firms that interest you. In fact, we run eight of our annual career fairs in weeks 1 to 3, and this term will account for almost 75% of all the company presentations and company visits coordinated by the Careers Service in the whole year. At our career fairs and company presentations you can meet: Recent alumni working in areas you might be interested in – people who were in your shoes not so long ago. Recruiters who can tell you more about the firm, graduate roles and training, and the recruitment process. Senior managers and business leaders (many will also be Oxford alumni) who can provide a wider perspective on the organisation and graduate career trajectories. Use the Events Calendar on CareerConnect to find company presentations and to book places on relevant workshops HT21 and skills sessions offered 114 through the Careers Service.
