Career-Ready Students: The Impact of University Career Guidance

“Personally from my experience I have made an extensive use of these services especially for my placement and now for my graduate job hunting. Employability services have greatly helped me to build my CV professionally according to my job prospects, and cover letters for any specific job. I built my CV from scratch with them and greatly helped me to get a placement for my third year.

Additionally, at my university they also provide support for job interview, they help you to prepare and even to run some mock interviews to make sure you will do your best” Evelyn Correa, The University of Sheffield

“As a result of these particular services at Durham University I was afforded the opportunity to work in the beautiful Lake District last summer in which I earned valuable work experience, relevant skills and connected with some wonderful people who I am still very close with today.” Charlotte Rothwell, Durham University

“There are many benefits to using the Career Services at university! Most importantly they help you with your CV and they help you create a CV that is attractive to employers. There are a lot of online resources that help you build a good CV even if you don’t have one. You will also receive lots of support to help you apply for jobs and how to tailor your CV for different jobs and industries.

If you have a job interview you can book a mock interview with one of the counsellors at the university and they help you build your confidence and they provide feedback on how to improve. My favourite thing about Liverpool John Moores University Careers Services is that once you have graduate you have life-time access to their careers and employability services, so even after you have graduated you can always come back to them and they will help you!” Sa’idah Zubairu, Liverpool John Moores University Alumna
