5fourteen - SPECIAL GRAD EDITION JUNE 2016
UCT Careers Service would like to congratulate all those students who are graduating in June 2016! Well done, and we are happy that all your hard work has finally paid off. We are dedicating this 5Fourteen to you, so that you know the 5 most important career-related steps you need to take once you graduate...
Graduate Destination Survey
You know what you’re doing this year, but what about previous graduates?.
We surveyed students at both June and December graduations in 2014. View the results. Don’t forget to complete the hard copy of the graduate exit survey, which is available on the day when you collect your graduation gown.
MyCareer is still yours
Just because you’re graduating, it doesn’t mean that we will unfriend you.
You can still log into MyCareer for resources, opportunities and to book a career consultation. Log in with your student number as per usual. Updating student records to your new status as a graduate takes a little bit of time. Once that process has been completed, you will receive an automatic email with new login instructions. Until then, log in to MyCareer using your student login. Don’t forget to pick up a copy of the new UCT Careers Service Guide 2016 at our offices, or view it online via our website. You can always follow the UCT Careers Service on Facebook and Twitter, visit our website or download the UCTMobile app.
