Each week we put the spotlight on a resource that can help you. This week it\u2019s\u2026.<\/p>\n<h2>Get Started guides<\/h2>\n<p>For the first week of Semester, I thought I would highlight our Get Started guides that bring all our resources together. If you are feeling a bit unsure about how to make a start with all things careers these can help. Whether its making a start with your CV, interview preparation or deciding what career options appeal to you \u2013 these guides are for you.<\/p>\n<p>Equally, if you already know a bit about a topic, these guides save you time by bringing together our most useful resources in one place.<\/p>\n<p>We highly recommend using them before coming to see us in an appointment. You might find they answer the questions you had or avoid some common mistakes on your applications. So when you do come and speak to us your appointment can be spent on other topics.<\/p>\n<h2>What they cover<\/h2>\n<p>The guides cover a core range of common careers topics. From applications to interviews. From further study to work experience. And lots more besides. It\u2019s also worth checking back as we are planning to add some more guides in the coming months.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/myfuture.bath.ac.uk\/students\/workflows\/detail\/16\">Applications, CVs and cover letters<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/myfuture.bath.ac.uk\/students\/workflows\/detail\/18\">Career options<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/unihub.bath.ac.uk\/students\/workflows\/detail\/22\">Further study<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/unihub.bath.ac.uk\/students\/workflows\/detail\/23\">International students<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/unihub.bath.ac.uk\/s\/myfuture\/workflows\/detail\/17\">Interviews and assessment centres<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/unihub.bath.ac.uk\/students\/workflows\/detail\/39\">Psychometric tests<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/unihub.bath.ac.uk\/s\/myfuture\/workflows\/detail\/15\">Search for work<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/unihub.bath.ac.uk\/s\/myfuture\/workflows\/detail\/19\">Work experience, internships and gap years<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to access<\/h2>\n<p>You can access the guides through MyFuture.
