Welcome to the latest edition of 5Fourteen. It's vac time - hurrah! And even though you need a well-deserved break after exams, you can still spend some time planning the career of your dreams. And the Careers Service is here to help!
We Appreciate Your Trust in Us
UCT Careers Services would like to thank all UCT students for your vote of confidence in us!
We recently scooped the #2 in Career Service Satisfaction award following a Universum survey in which students cast their votes for careers services globally. It’s the first time these surveys have been taken to an international level. We appreciate your trust in us and promise to keep doing our best to offer careers information, advice and opportunities to you.
Let This Be Your Guide
If you haven't collected your copy of the Careers Service Guide 2016, now is the perfect time.
Vac gives you some extra time and headspace to plan your future career, and the guide has valuable information including a career toolkit, an A-Z directory of employers and inspiring graduate stories. Collect a copy at our offices on Upper Campus or download it from our website!
Get Cracking on Your Job Search
Final-year students can take this time to start applying for graduate jobs.
One great place to look for vacancies is via MyCareer, which has all current available career opportunities.
We're Still Open
The Careers Service is still open during vac time if you require career guidance.
You can pop by our offices, Monday to Friday from 8:30 to 16:30 to look at all our available resources. Appointments with careers advisors will operate on a first-come, first-served basis during vac.
Our Online Resources
There is always the option to go onto our website for resources.
If you can't make your way to our offices over the vac period, you can always visit the Careers Service website, which has a range of career-related resources to help you on your career path.
That's it for this edition.
