No matter what stage you have reached in your career – recent graduate or thinking about your sixth career change – we can all benefit from what the web has to offer in terms of careers resources. For example, you can search for a job online, access employer profiles, get the latest careers advice and pick up CV and interview tips. We have broken down our suggested resources by category and will be adding more in the near future.
Career searches and descriptions
We have tried to locate websites and information to help you understand the different types of career paths open to you and to search for interesting jobs within those careers.
Search online for a job, and access career descriptions and information and advice for finding, applying for and getting a job in a specific sector, such as financial services, HR, engineering or the public sector. Also pick up CV and interview tips, and find out more about getting the most of the job you’re currently in, through guidance on training, pay and changing your career completely.http://www.workthing.com/
