Most Australian universities 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 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 to
find out about the resources available.
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 employer programs or events.
Employer information
Careers staff are well connected to the undergraduate
and graduate employment sectors and regularly assist
employers with their recruitment. Staff can tell you which
employers recruit applicants from your university and/or
discipline, and when and how they recruit. They are also up
to date with the labour market, so can tell you where to seek
jobs now and advise you of future growth areas.
Sifting through the web
The internet is great for background research and general
information about employers and industries, but your
careers service can assist you in ways the wonderful
web cannot. Staff can tailor the assistance they provide,
recommending a course of action suitable to your discipline,
ambitions, strengths and individual circumstances.
