15 minute appointment with the Duty Adviser

These appointments are the ideal starting point if you have not spoken to a careers adviser before. They are particularly helpful for:

  • getting feedback on your CV/ application forms *
  • obtaining advice on work experience
  • discussing job-seeking strategies

* Please note that we will give advice about the content of your applications, but we do not offer a proof reading service so please check your work thoroughly before submitting for feedback. Please also bring a print copy of your application with you.

Duty Adviser appointments are for a maximum of 15 minutes. This rule is strictly adhered to. If you arrive more than 5 minutes late you will be asked to make another appointment. If you require longer than 15 minutes please make a 30/45 minute appointment by calling (01224) 273601 or asking at Careers Service Reception.
