Dear student,
Congratulations on working your way through your degree! You can continue to access the University's Careers Service for up to 2 years after you graduate. That includes using MyFuture, booking Careers Consultations and attending fairs and other employer events. We are open all summer and have some activities taking place over the next few weeks.
This will be the last newsletter I send you, but do follow us on social media (@QUBCareers, Facebook, Instagram) to find out about opportunities.
All the best,
Patricia
