Whether you're unsure about your future options, want to talk about how the current situation might be affecting your career plans or how you can enhance your career prospects in a changing and challenging labour market, please know that you're not alone and a short guidance appointment is an excellent place to get some professional advice. This appointment type can be used as a starting point for discussing a wide range of topics with one of our Careers Consultants.
Whilst the current situation is having a significant impact on recruitment globally, some employers are still promoting remote work opportunities and internships, and further study and scholarships are still open to applications. In these challenging times, it's even more important to ensure your applications make a positive impact. This appointment is aimed at those who have drafted an application, (CV, cover letter, personal statement etc.), for something specific and want advice on how to improve it before sending it off.
If you've been invited to a live or recorded video interview, this role-play style appointment will aim to simulate the experience of the real thing to help you better understand the process and improve your interview technique. It's also an excellent opportunity to highlight and fix any software or connectively issues before heading into the real thing.
