With most of our Careers activity happening online for this semester, you can act from your armchair. Among the not-to-be-missed events for your diary this month are the virtual Graduate Recruitment and Placement Fair on 21 and 22 October and Go Global on 12 October.

Graduateland, our online events platform, has been called the Tinder for jobs. The more information you put in to completing your bio, the better you will stand out to employers. You can browse employers, watch videos and see current vacancies. The good news is, you only need to complete your profile once and your info will be stored for all future events.
