Taking the fear out of ‘career’.

- Does the thought of graduation worry you?

- Does the word 'career' depress you?

- Do you feel you're getting nowhere and wasting your degree?

- Do you want something different but don't know how to get it?

After you Graduate is for students who are about to enter the world of work or those looking for a change in career direction. It takes the anxiety out of career choice and job-hunting and answers frequently-asked questions such as:

- What is a graduate job?

- What do graduates in my subject do?

- How do I identify what sort of work I will enjoy?

- What’s the use of a work placement?

- How do I write a good application form, CV and covering letter?

- How do I make a good impression at an interview?

After You Graduate can be used as a reference guide to the whole career-choice and job-finding process including further study and self-employment.
