Careers for Undergrads: What To Do In Your Final Year

Often English students are looking for jobs in Media/Communications/Publishing roles where graduate schemes are limited.  Look for individual entry-level opportunities too and think about approaching a company with a speculative application if they have no positions advertised.

Good websites as follows:

• QMUL jobsboard  (some larger schemes, but lots of individual jobs sourced for University of London students.  Use the criteria on the left of the screen to refine your search)

• CREATIVE ACCESS (BAME students only)

• Media Beans

• Guardian Jobs

• Graduate Talent Pool
  

• ArtsJobs

• www.penguinrandomhousecareers.co.uk

• BBC careers
  
• If you think Business, the Civil Service, Financial Services, Marketing, Human Resources etc., is for you... identify graduate scheme vacancies and apply as early as possible. Many open in the August/September BEFORE your 3rd year!  Make sure you check out Student Ladder and Target Jobs for masses of graduate scheme info.
