North American Career Series: The Job Search
We're going to be talking about how to find success in your job search, either back home or for a new adventure. Hear insights gained directly from American and Canadian employers about what they want to see and how you can have your best chance of getting where you want to go. If you're thinking about North America at all after St Andrews, you won't want to miss this!

Final year students: Erasmus+ Recent Graduate Traineeships are open!
This is an exciting opportunity to receive funding for up to 6 months of training or internship in Europe after graduation. Whether as a step to a future career, as an experience in a role you might not otherwise gain, or as an opportunity to help social or charity foundations, Recent Graduate Traineeships are available to support you in the year after you graduate from St Andrews.
Applications are welcomed from any undergraduate students who will be graduating in 2019-2020. The deadline to apply is 3rd April!
