Getting started: deciding what you want to do after you graduate

Here are some ways in which you can use the Careers Service to help you decide what you want to do:

Talk to a Careers Adviser

Reference and takeaway materials on all occupational areas- available in the Careers Information Room. You can browse the full index for ideas, or if you have some thoughts already you can find out more about these different options.
MBTI personality questionnaire: Considers your values and natural ways of doing things - a useful way of identifying your strengths. See forthcoming events for more details.
The Careers Group organises a wide range of careers fairs, courses and presentations that students and GradClub members from the SICS colleges are eligible to attend - see: The Careers Group, University of London, Events Listings for more details.
External Events. Many organisations and employers hold their own information days or recruitment events. These are often advertised via SICSAlert, on The Careers Group presentations listings or in the Careers Information Room. Alternatively, they will advertise on their websites, in employer directories or in company literature - all of which are available in our Careers Information Room.
Easy to use Computer-aided career choice programs:

  • Prospects Planner a tool to find the right kind of job for you.
  • Sort-It a collection of interactive modules designed to increase your ability to manage your career.
  • Further or postgraduate study. Course Discover is a database of Further and Higher Education courses in the UK.
  • Funding for study. The Funderfinder database helps you identify charitable funds that may be sympathetic to your funding needs.
  • Specific occupational, job sector and case study information. EXODUS is a database that provides careers information on opportunities outside the UK.
  • We also have the WorldWide Volunteering database which provides details of volunteering opportunities in the Uk and overseas.

    All of the above are available in the Careers Information Room.

    Whatever you're planning, our Information Library will have something to get you started. If you can't find what you are looking for, or need information in alternative formats, experienced information staff are always on hand to help.
