Looking for jobs
Where to find jobs and how to get them
You are unlikely to find every possible opportunity that might suit or interest you, in one single place. You need to explore the job market across a range of sources, and do so regularly.
Graduate vacancy sources
Jobs are widely advertised through a variety of different sources and UWE Careers has lots of useful links to help you.
Researching employers
Where to find information about potential recruiters, employment trends and industry sectors.
Overseas opportunities
Take time out travelling and working overseas, seek permanent work in another country, or study overseas.
Getting work experience
High quality relevant work experience, paid or unpaid, can put you at a distinct advantage when applying for permanent employment in the future.
Careers events
Careers events can provide a great way to network, build up your contacts, and learn about what different organisations do.
Networking
Many job opportunities are never actually advertised and networking can be a powerful tool and a valuable alternative route into the job market.
Social networking
Social media can be a great tool for networking and finding a job or work experience opportunities.
