Using our Services

Students and Graduates

The Careers Service provides a full information, guidance and support service for all our students, researchers and those who graduated within the last three years from the University of Sheffield, the exception being
those graduates who have subsequently registered at another UK Higher Education Institution. Graduates registered at another institution should use the services of that institution.

The information on our website will help you to explore your options and you can visit us at the Careers Service where we have books, take-away literature and PCs.

Need some help?

Careers Advisers offer brief 20 minute advice sessions on any careers related subject.

They are available daily, Monday - Friday during semester (times vary during vacation) and can be booked up to five days in advance or on the day.

Visit the Careers Service from 9.00 am (11.00 am on Tuesday) or call us on 0114 2220910 (book early at busy times)

Need another appointment?

You can book another appointment whenever you need and if the Adviser thinks that you need more in-depth guidance, then s/he will refer you for a one-hour appointment with the Careers Adviser linked to your course.

Career planning and job search is a joint and ongoing process between you and the Careers Service.
The Adviser may refer you to websites, other information resources, and appropriate Careers Service events/activities to continue your research after your appointment.

CV reviews

We run additional CV review appointments during term-time between 12.00 - 2.30pm, Monday - Friday. You can book up to five working days in advance by visiting the Careers Service or by calling us on 0114 2220910.

If you would like the Adviser to review your CV / Covering Letter / Application Form / Personal Statement please ensure that you have a paper copy. This enables the Adviser to quickly and effectively review your documents and makes it easier for comments and suggestions to be written directly on to them.

Careers advice for researchers

Two specialist Careers Advisers, Jane Simm and Kevin Mahoney, support researchers and provide longer in-depth interviews if required. If you are a researcher and wish to make use of this facility to discuss any career-related subject, call in to the Careers Service or phone 0114 2220910.
