Most universities in Australia and New Zealand have
careers centres that provide information and assistance to
students and recent graduates. Many students are unaware
of the range of information and advice available from their
careers service – everything from application tips and
career counselling to detailed information about graduate
employers.
Drop in early
University careers services are there to help you, so make
sure you see them in the early stages of your job-hunting
and find out all about the resources available. Remember
that application deadlines for many graduate programs are
usually in the first half of the year (for programs starting the
following year).
The range of careers services varies from university
to university, but most offer print and web resources,
workshops, email updates, individual assistance and on-
campus graduate employer programs or events.
Graduate employer information
Careers staff are well connected to the graduate
employment sector and regularly assist employers with
their recruitment. They can tell you which employers recruit
graduates from your university and/or discipline, and when
and how they recruit. They are also up to date with the
labour market, so they can tell you where the jobs are now
and advise you of future growth areas.
Sifting through the web
While the internet is great for background research and
finding out general information about employers and
