What's New in Semester 2?
We are pleased to announce a new addition to our appointment system:
- Practice Interviews are now available. Got an interview coming up for your dream job? Or had interviews in the past, and want to know where you're going wrong? Then this appointment type is for you! These 45-minute long appointments can now be booked in advance on CareerConnect, to help you best prepare for any upcoming interviews through one-to-one feedback.
In addition to this, we have:
- Careers Appointments (formerly 'Quick Queries'). These in-person, 15-minute long appointments are here to cover any careers-related questions you may have; from internship searches, to personal statements and assessment centres. Bookable on CareerConnect from 9:30 am on the day.
- CV and Cover Letter Advice (formerly ' CV Advising'). Not sure where to start when it comes to your CV? Need some help drafting your first Cover Letter? Bookable on CareerConnect from 9:30 am on the day, these 15-minute long appointments are specific for CV's and Covering Letters - any other questions should be directed to a 'Careers Appointment'.
- Careers Guidance Appointments (formerly 'Referred Appointments'). Following an initial 'Careers Appointment', you may be directed to a specific adviser for further guidance. These 45-minute appointments cannot be booked by yourself, but must be made through a referral.
