ABOUT US
How can the Careers Service help me? We offer a wide range of services and resources designed to help students at any stage of study with all aspects of career and job search planning. We can help you explore your career options, connect with personal and professional development opportunities (e.g. part-time work, internships, graduate jobs and employer showcases), compile job search materials (CVs, cover letters, etc.) and prepare for the job search. Visit our office for a career consultation, attend career talks, make use of our Career Resource Centre’s books, takeaway resources, DVDs and electronic resources and participate in our employer networking events. Login to MyCareer at www.careers.uct.ac.za to have 24/7 access to our offerings.
If I’m not a final year student, what can the Careers Service offer me? Whether you are happy with your study and career choices or anxious and uncertain about them, we have services and resources that will benefit all students. If you’re already confident about your career plans, build on this by getting a head start on career development strategies to improve your career and employment prospects. Continue exploring your career options, use our CV and cover letter resources to assist you in your work and further study applications and take advantage of the parttime work opportunities listed on MyCareer to gain work experience and additional skills. Our staff and services will inspire and support you with all these tasks. If you’re feeling less confident, pop in for a consultation with a careers advisor to talk through your concerns. We’ll aid you in regaining direction and confidence in your career journey.
