If you’re graduating this December, here are three quick things you could do today that might help you secure a job or – if you already have a job – help you progress within your career beyond graduation. #LivUniGrad
1. Update your contact details
Once you graduate, we want you to know that we’ll still be here to offer you support and guidance! Whether that’s help searching for your dream role, support with your application or advice as you progress through the recruitment process, University staff are here for you. We will also be in touch with exclusive opportunities to to enhance your career development.
We’d also just love to stay in touch generally! It will be great to know where you go from here so we can celebrate your achievements.
To make sure you can access the support we can offer and keep us up to date on your progress, please update your contact details.
2. Manage your LinkedIn account
If you don’t have a LinkedIn profile yet, sign up today. LinkedIn is a fantastic resource for finding work and will help you showcase your experience to potential employers.
If you have a profile but haven’t updated it in a while, sign in to your account and add in any additional experience, skills or education you have gained.
When completing your profile, avoid career buzzwords. When you describe your previous experience, select examples that highlight how your skills could be useful for employers.
Once your account is ready, you can join the University of Liverpool Alumni (Official) group to connect you to more than 10,000 members of the alumni network.
3. Complete the Class of 2024 survey
Finally, please complete our short Class of 2024 survey so that we can get your feedback on what support you’d value from the University and how we can continue to help you and your career.
