\n

Enjoy<\/strong> your first few weeks at Bath. If you\u2019re going to the Freshers\u2019 Fair<\/a> <\/strong>this week, you\u2019ll probably find yourself signing up for clubs and societies<\/a>,<\/strong> or other activities like volunteering.<\/strong><\/a> All of the above are great for your CV<\/strong>, as potential employers look for students who can demonstrate their initiative, have strong communication and organisation skills (e.g. the ability to juggle coursework with extracurricular activities and jobs!), and have held some positions of responsibility during their time at University. It is never too early to think about your career!<\/p>\n

Make sure you visit us<\/strong> in our wonderful new University hub in the city centre, the Virgil Building<\/a><\/strong>, check out or Careers website <\/a><\/strong>and be sure to like our Facebook page<\/a>!<\/strong> In addition, register for MyFuture<\/a><\/strong> to be kept up to date on careers events, jobs and to set up an appointment with one of the careers advisers.<\/p>\n

Returning to second or final\u00a0year?<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, you\u2019re back after the long summer break, welcome back! Now\u2019s a really great time to be thinking about your career. Do you know what you want to do when you graduate? If not, you could consider booking an appointment with one of our careers advisers to discuss your options, please do so through MyFuture<\/a>.<\/strong> In addition, we have over 150 employers coming to campus for our Careers Fair<\/strong> later on 19th and 20th of October, and in the meantime we have lots of employer events and skills development workshops for you to attend, all bookable through MyFuture. <\/a><\/p>\n

For those returning from placement<\/strong>, please be aware that we have moved<\/strong> to our wonderful new University hub in the city centre, the Virgil Building<\/a><\/strong>, we hope to see you there soon!<\/p>\n
