Dear [first name]

Can you believe October is almost upon us already? Spooky costumes and pumpkin-spiced lattes aside, October is a critical month when it comes to planning for future career success: many graduate schemes and placements open, and the diary is packed with flagship events, such as the Graduate Placement and Recruitment Fair and Go Global.

In fact, it’s so important to act now if you want to give yourself the best possible chance to propel your career forward that we’ve renamed this month ACTober.

Remember have a look at five things to do in October for your future career,

 

Wishing you a successful semester and year ahead!

 

Thanks

1 to 1 Guidance

While we are in a very different position than last year, the Careers consultants are still providing bespoke one to on guidance. This guidance is for the near future being carried out via Microsoft teams. Moreover, while it is not perfect and the preference is to sit with you and talk in the student guidance centre this form of interaction is a safe and useful alternative. I am still available to provide 1 to 1 careers guidance on Monday Afternoon, Tuesday morning and mid mornings on a Friday. Also let us not forget our recent graduates, so if you have family member, friend or work colleague who has attended QUB then let us remind them that they can still avail of our guidance opportunities for up to two years after graduation.
