Online advice and guidance
We also offer an online advice service, which is perfect for quick career-related questions you would like advice on. You can upload your CVs, applications, or personal statements, and your subject Careers Adviser will provide detailed feedback.
This service is available to current students, applicants, graduates, and staff. You can submit a query through the CareersPortal ‘Ask a Question’ and a careers adviser will get back to you within 5 days.
Careers Guidance appointments
You can also book an appointment with the careers adviser for your subject to discuss any career-related questions or concerns. These appointments are very popular, so we recommend booking early. If you can't find a suitable slot, you may be able to book a 10-minute Quick Query appointment instead.
This appointment type is only available for current students, alumni and staff members. (Note: If you are a current member of staff, you can book a 30-minute appointment by emailing us.)
Practice interviews
If you’ve been invited to an interview, you can book a practice interview.
To book, please email the date of your interview and relevant supporting documents, such as the job description and a copy of your application.
Providing these details allows the Careers Adviser to tailor the session. Without relevant supporting documents, a general practice interview will be provided.
Appointment availability may vary. If a full session is not possible, we can sometimes offer a 30-minute preparation session.
You can also find a very useful Preparing for an Interview Pathway on our Careers Portal, which will take you through preparation tips and direct you to an online practice interview.
