Finding your Profile
The following Frequently Asked Questions will help you consider all your options and spot the benefits of researching them, no matter what your starting point is now:
  1. I know exactly which job I would like to enter. Why do I need to research more broadly and consider alternatives?
  2. What options are possible with my degree and my profile?
  3. What do graduates actually go into?
  4. I'm interested in postgraduate study as my next step, so why go to the trouble of researching into jobs and other options now?
  5. I would like to take a 'year out' after my degree, so why should I bother to plan out my career now?
  6. I am considering self employment…
  7. How might changes and trends in the world of work affect me?

      If you understand the rapid changes in the contemporary labour market you will be better placed to manage your career. You will be able to assess how well prepared you are and decide what to do to remedy any skills deficits.

      For web sites looking at how labour market changes are affecting the skills needed for specific jobs, see the Research Resources Section later.
