1. Job hunting <\/strong><\/p>\n The best thing about the Careers and Employability service, and the one that I am currently using the most for job hunting<\/a> is MyCareerHub<\/a>, their online careers system. It has all the resources you need, from tips and tricks to be successful at interviews, to job hunting search engines and job prospects sorted by degree. The job hunting search engine is my favourite, as I often struggle to find jobs that fit my level of experience. MyCareerHub filters your results by jobs that would apply to a recent grad or a current university student, making it easy for you to know what is out there for students. This counts for full time\/part-time jobs and placements<\/a>.<\/p>\n Screenshot MyCareerHub | Taken by Jessica Grano de Oro<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n 2. Get your CV and cover letter ready<\/strong><\/p>\n MyCareerHub has lots of tools online to help you write your CV and Cover Letter<\/a> to make yourself stand out to employers. Since I come from another country, my greatest worry is knowing whether I am introducing myself in the right way to employers, since it changes from one country to another. This is why I used the CV and Cover Letter booklet, which showed me examples of what other students in my degree did.<\/p>\n Other great tools on MyCareerHub are the Cover Letter builder, or, if you want advice on working abroad<\/a>, there is a whole section dedicated to it, plus a search engine that lets you find jobs in any country you want.<\/p>\n 3. Recruitment fairs <\/strong><\/p>\n Last but not least, the Careers and Employment team organises recruitment fairs all year round<\/a>, which is the best chance to talk to employers face to face and maybe get hired on the spot! The best thing about these fairs is that employers come to Bournemouth University specifically to recruit and train students for their company, so you do not have the inexperience barrier with them.<\/p>\n Bournemouth University Spring Recruitment Fair | MyCareerHub<\/p>\n So there you have it.\u00a0Contact Careers and Employability<\/a> to learn what they can offer for you and best of luck with findings jobs!\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of the biggest pressures students face is whether they will be able to land a job before they graduate.
