Career inspiration

As we start the final term of the year some students will be thinking about their next step and their career options.  This week the blog will focus on careers information. Both LRCs has a careers book section.  If you are not sure where this is in your LRC why not ask a member of staff next time you are in?

      Here are a few highlights to tempt you in:       

 University Centre

•     The interview question & answer book by Innes, J
•     The cover letter book by Innes, J
•     How to write an impressive CV and Cover letter by Whitmore, T

Hub LRC
