How we can help

We offer a range of services, guidance and advice on all things careers and employability related, with full details to be found among the Careers and employability pages.

Here are some examples of the areas we can help you with:

One-to-one guidance and advice

We offer 20-minute consultations with a Careers Consultant which give you the opportunity to obtain feedback and advice on CVs, application forms, interviews and other career concerns. 

If you would like in-depth advice on improving your employability, exploring career paths, finding work or seeing what opportunities are available, you can book up to four 45-minute consultations with a Careers Consultant per year (4 in any 365 day period).
