Support for graduates

There are lots of things to consider to prepare yourself for working life after Oxford Brookes:

• Writing and targeting your CV for the role that you are applying for, reviewed by Careers
• Do you know what your selling points are and how to promote yourself to employers?
• Have you got enough experience for the job you want to apply for? Could completing a virtual internship or volunteering help boost your CV?
• Have you researched employers in your chosen industry and do you know what skills and experience they ask for in applicants?
• Is your LinkedIn profile up to date and does it do yourself justice?
• Have you practiced for your job interview and/or assessment centre?
• Do you know where to look for roles in your industry and are you searching in the right places?
• Have you looked at the Brookes Connections career mentoring scheme that offers mentoring for Oxford Brookes students and alumni?

Postgraduate study can be a great investment in your future, but the decision needs careful consideration, so why not talk it over with a Careers Consultant? Careers can help you investigate whether or not further study is the right option for you.

Applying for further study is similar to applying for a job; you may be required to complete an application form, submit a CV and/or provide a supporting statement or personal statement, and Careers can help you with this.
