Do you know the career you want to follow but need advice on how to get there? Or, are you unsure of what you want to do next? Either way, a meeting with one of our careers advisers can help you to take the next step. 

Meetings are relaxed and informal, designed to make open discussion easy. To get the most out of your session, it’s worth doing some initial research in advance, however, if you don’t know where to start with this, book a session anyway and we can help you begin. 

Our advisers are impartial and will help you to explore your options objectively; they’ll make sure you are aware of the pros and cons. Career choice is a process not an event, the professional advice we provide can help you focus your research in the right areas.  

What is a careers guidance appointment? 

It is a 45-minute space to talk about careers. This can be anything from; ‘what can I do with my degree?’ To ‘how do I become a..?’ or ‘how can I gain work experience or get a placement?’ or any other career related topic that is important to you. 

I am graduating soon, can I still get support? 

You can get support from the Careers and Employability Service at Kent for 3 years after you leave! This means we speak to people from all over the world which makes our jobs very interesting indeed! You just need to ensure you register as an alumni on the Career Hub using your personal email address once you’re nearing the end of your course.  

Can I use the Careers service in vacations? 

Yes we are open all year-round including vacations.  We are only closed when the University is closed on dates such as weekends and bank holidays. If it’s helpful to have an online appointment we can use Teams.
