Career Services Autumn Programme of Events

On September 15th we launched our new website here at the Careers Service.  We hope you like the new look and layout and we welcome any comments you may have (good or bad)!

We've tried to structure the website in a way which is easier to navigate - and you will be able to find our complete Autumn Programme of Events in one area. 

This year we are providing an extensive programme of events to assist with all areas of career planning and job hunting, and a comprehensive series of workshops on CV and Interview Skills. We have even re-branded ourselves to "Career Services" which incorporates the bigger picture of what we can offer to our students, graduates and employers.

A handy downloadable brochure of events will be available soon on the site but in the meantime you can print a Microsoft Word table of events in chronological order -Events Handout (16kB) .

Milkrounds (or Employer Presentations) are presentations given on campus by employers who advertise their company, their opportunities and who are recruiting students (usually final years and interns). Click here for the list of Milkrounds.

This year, the Careers Service are offering a series of employer talks, called "Ask the Experts" You will be given the chance to ask the employers in your chosen area questions which you may not otherwise have an opportunity to ask. Learn from the experts. Click here for the list of "Ask the Experts".

The career service website is very nice and i hope that it will be helpful to students. The career guidance helps students choose their career wisely and then find the best Job or Placements for them. It also helps them stay motivated in finding a job as Sometimes young students find it so hard to continue the process of Job Seeking. They gets demotivated from the work and will no more be able to work in order to find their dream job. That is why such programs proved to be helpful in staying motivated and inspired in the process of Job Finding.
