New Year Career Resolutions

This is the time of year when people often take stock of their career and think about a change of job or even a significant change of direction. The February Career Change Workshop booked up quicklyand we hope to repeat it in the Spring. However, as not everyone will be able to attend a workshop we will be adding some career change resources to the Careers Centre website just after the workshop so look out for these to help you with your career planning. You can also discuss your career development through an appointment with Jane Elkins, the Graduate Careers Consultant.

For further details contact Jane Elkins - see the graduate pages on the Careers Service website.

Facing redundancy?
In these uncertain economic times with predictions of job losses during 2008, if you do find yourself in the unfortunate position of facing redundancy don't forget that the Careers Centre can help you, whether it is guidance on career options or advice on updating your CV and strategies to find jobs.

Contact Jane Elkins, the Graduate Careers Consultant for appointments (by telephone or in person) or advice by email. See the graduate pages on the Careers Service website.
