Find out about our appointments system.
We offer appointments in-person at both our offices, and online, for your convenience.
In-person appointments: for feedback on CVs, cover letters and applications please bring a copy of your document either on paper or bring a laptop/mobile device to show the documents to the Careers Consultant. You can upload documents when you book the appointment but the Consultant won't have time to read these before the appointment.
