May 2016 ‘Kick Start your Job Search’ Career Event for NUI Galway Graduates

NUI Galway final years and graduates who are seeking employment are invited to a unique graduate support event in NUI Galway on Thursday, 12 May. The ‘Kick Start your Job Search’ is a free event and will run from 9.30am to 1pm in AC201 on the Arts/Science Concourse.

Organised by NUI Galway’s Career Development Centre, the event will focus on effective CVs, interview skills, and being creative in the job search process, including a tailored workshop on using LinkedIn effectively. Interactive workshops will challenge and motivate participants to review their current approach to their job search and a panel discussion with employers from various sectors will give insights into job search strategy and what candidates can do to enhance their job prospects. A list of current vacancies will also be on display.

Josephine Walsh, Head of the Career Development Centre, NUI Galway, said: “We look forward to working again with our recent graduates and strongly encourage those who are looking for new ways to market themselves to come along and get their job search on track.”

Details of the full programme are available on www.nuigalway.ie/careers, where those who are interested in attending the event can also book a place.
