Careers and Employability Advisers
Careers and Employability Advisers can help you to explore your options and plan for your career. Thinking about life after LJMU will allow you to assess the options you have, the paths you can take, and give you time to prepare for your next step. They can show you what previous students from your course have gone on to do, what your subject area prepares you for and how to find out about particular jobs after graduation. They can also help you to apply for jobs, volunteering and postgraduate opportunities, review and provide expert advice on your CVs, application forms and personal statements for jobs or postgraduate opportunities. Whether you are looking for casual work, summer work, a sandwich placement, a graduate job or a postgraduate course, the Careers and Employability Advisers can help you make your application effective. They can also discuss work experience and skill development opportunities with you, and can discuss how to best prepare for interviews.
