It's not too late for me to get a job, is it?<\/h1>\n
A\u00a0common question we are\u00a0asked by final year students in our\u00a0Quick Queries<\/a>\u00a0is\u00a0\"its not too late for me to get a job, is it?\". \u00a0<\/em>This is a totally understandable question to ask and one that indicates that many students are feeling anxious about\u00a0their future, after\u00a0graduation. The transition from being a student to worker is scary and means dealing with a lot of change (moving cities, forming new\u00a0friendships, finding a new place to live etc) Not to mention if you are unsure of what you want to do or need to embark on the process of job hunting, it can all feel like it is too much.<\/section>\n

Before going any further,\u00a0I want to be clear,\u00a0it is not too late to find a job!\u00a0<\/strong>On\u00a0MyFuture<\/a>,\u00a0(the careers service's vacancy database), we have nearly 600 active opportunities for soon - to - be graduates. You may find that some organisations that interest you are not recruiting at the moment, for example some graduate opportunities follow specific recruitment cycles. This however doesn't mean you've missed the boat....<\/p>\n

It is important to approach career planning in small steps - if you are unsure of what you want to do then focus on exploring ideas or simply updating your CV may give you the feeling that you are moving in the right direction. Think of where you'd like to be in the next 12-24 months as opposed to determining your final career.<\/p>\n
