1. Visit the Careers Service
Whether your career plans are completely sorted, you have a vague idea of where you're headed or no idea at all, the Careers Service is open throughout the summer. And with appointments available to book throughout graduation week, you can talk through your plans with an adviser, get your CV checked through, research internships and graduate schemes, look for vacancies and much more.
You can use resources in the library weekdays 9.00am - 5.00pm (11.00am - 5.00pm Tuesdays). Call the Careers Service on 0114 2220925 to arrange an appointment or book at the reception desk, Level 2, 388 Glossop Road.
"What's important is thinking about what help you need at this stage and doing something about it. Have some kind of a plan, even if it's just for the short term." Pete Lord, Careers Adviser
