Students needing career advice and guidance

You may be in a position of needing to refer a student to the Career Development Centre for career guidance. Please ask the student to visit to the reception desk at the Centre where our first level guidance assistants will help the student make use of the services we offer. Students seeking a meeting with a Career Development Adviser generally make use of our quick query service in the first instance. Details on our quick query sessions may be found on the Resources at UCD section of this website.

Please note that sessions are offered Monday - Thursday with some sessions dedicated to queries on applications for work and graduate study only. While there is no definitive list of the queries we deal with, here are some examples:

Career Options	Job Search	Graduate Study
How do I make a career decision? What are my career options? What happened to graduates of my subject last year? How do I get started? Will an employer value my degree? I would like to change to a new course - what will my career options be with a degree in...?	Where can I find graduate level internships or jobs? What skills will an employer expect me to have? What can I do if I have no work experience? What is a CV? How do I go about producing an effective CV? Can you help me prepare for an interview or assessment centre?	What is a Masters degree? Is there a difference between taught and research courses? Can I get funding for graduate study? How do I develop an effective personal statement? How do I apply for graduate study in the USA?
