March 2008
MEET GRADUATE EMPLOYERS AND MAKE BETTER CHOICES FOR YOUR FUTURE
March is when employers from many industries promote their opportunities to final year students.
With this in mind, the Careers Service stages many chances for you to meet them in person or online.
- You should attend Information Sessions and Careers Fairs.
- You should get hold of the publication Graduate Opportunities.
- You should check out their graduate programs from here
Gather information about them now - and then decide who you wish to apply to – to start work in January 2009. But be quick – some applications close as soon as the third week of March! Please note that some sectors (such as Health and Education) have closing dates later in the year.
