October - PGT

Karen McCann
Careers Consultant

Welcome to the new academic year in the School of SSESW. It’s almost October – or Actober, as we call it in the Careers Service. Why? It’s crucial you act this month to give yourself the best chance of propelling your career forward. When it comes to your future, the worst thing you can do this month is nothing.

Things to look out for this month include our Virtual Graduate Recruitment and Placement Fair, Go Global Week and the Private Sector Employer Panel Event.

So whether you're looking for opportunities to further your career or a teaching position for next year I’m here to support you every step of the way, so you can hit the ground running this semester and beyond.

Even though you may not be able to visit the Careers Service in person, we are still here for you. We are offering Application, CV and Careers appointments online using Microsoft Teams. To book an appointment go to MyFuture.
