Don’t know where to start? Things to think about before you come to see us:

Quick Start

If you haven’t worked with us before, these two quick steps will help you get you up and running fast.

Step 1

Graduate and other jobs and part-time and work experience/internship opportunities from mainly UK employers. Delivers a range of local, regional, and national options and some international assignments.

Step 2

To help you identify possible career options, utilise job search tools, create a great CV, boost your interview and assessment skills. It also includes a powerful global job search engine.

What jobs can I do?

We regularly have students and graduates visit our Careers centre; they are often unsure of the type of job they would like to get into or have an idea but want to talk through. Some handy pages on the government website will help you start thinking about the type of career that might suit you.

Start your CV

When improving your CV, it is more beneficial for you to visit the Careers centre when you know what type of jobs you will be applying for – and already have a current CV. It helps target your CV to the sector you are using to work in and not just write a generic one. Look at the job role specification and show where you can demonstrate the essential/desirable criteria, giving specific examples. Once you have completed your CV, please bring it to the Careers Centre to provide you with some feedback before sending it to employers.

How can we help?
