Find opportunities
Whether you're looking for a graduate job or still looking to build up your experience with internships or part-time work, there are many different jobs boards to find opportunities.
View the CareersHub Jobs Board
Check out our graduate jobs page where you can find more help with your jobs search, or our further study and academic careers page if you’re thinking about continuing in education.
If you’re thinking of creating your own opportunities and setting up a business, check out the help available via QUEST.
Define your goals and assess what you have to offer
It is important to tailor your job search, rather than mass-apply to hundreds of roles. Do some research into what kind of job you want, what impact you want to make, and what motivates you.
So take some time out to:
- Define your goals. Identify what matters to you most, e.g. work-life balance, company culture, salary, the opportunity to make an impact.
- Assess what you have to offer. Take stock of the hard and soft skills you’ve gained, and identify any gaps for your target industry.
