As part of a balanced lifestyle, The Guru likes to watch re-runs of Mythbusters on weekends. He called in the boys for a favour.

Myth: I don’t need a Careers Service, I’m already at uni!

Truth: This is a common misconception, so let us clarify it for you.

Getting that job you really want generally needs more than just a university degree. You need to be fully equipped to impress potential employers through your experience, presentation and quality of application: and this is where we come in!

The University of Newcastle Careers Service is a free and confidential service to all students and graduates of the University. Our staff are available to assist with information and advice about everything from part-time jobs to complete career building + resume and application tips.

Booking an appointment with a careers officer is all connected through the website CareerHub. Joining CareerHub is free, and there is a stack of information on the site about upcoming events and expos. Australia’s largest student search engine is at your fingertips in CareerHub!

Myth Busted!
