NEW Career Resources webpage from SICS
This new one-stop page has been developed specifically with SICS students in mind. We know that for many of our students becuase of the way they study i.e. part-time or that their course demands a great deal of time out on placement, it is often very difficult to visit the careers office.Therefore this new page gives you access to blogs, podcasts, our new Careers Tagged service (see above) as well letting you download useful Career Helpsheets. You can also access some external career resources that we often refer our students to.
All these resources are designed to help you with your job search, career planning & further study options, however, we would stress that we still recommened that once you have done some initial research in to your career options, you make some time to come and talk through these with one of our professional advisers.
If you have any questions relating to any of the above events or would like further information on the resources and services SICS provides please e-mail us. We'll be delighted to hear from you.
