Online careers seminars for international students

AGCAS Scotland has produced a series of online job seeking seminars for international students intending to find work in Scotland beyond graduation.

There are four seminars in the series – they are:

1) How do I find out about jobs?
Helps you understand the Scottish labour market - the main industries, occupations and skills demands as well as recommending resources you can use to carry out your own research.

2) How do I find work?
Helps you identify where to look for jobs - everything from part-time jobs whilst studying, to work placements and voluntary opportunities as well as graduate jobs.

3) Getting a job offer
Helps you develop the necessary tools - CV, application, interviewing and other skills - to be prepared and successful in your job hunting.

4) Working and living in Scotland
Helps you to discover more about working environments and culture in Scotland.

Each section contains fundamental information that you need to know, links to additional resources, an interactive exercise for you to test your knowledge, and a 'What Next?' section which offers suggestions on the ways which you can use the information and move on.
You can read or view the case studies of International Students and Graduates already living and working in Scotland in the Case Studies section.

This web resource was developed by the Careers Services of Scotland's Universities via AGCAS Scotland and funded by the Scottish Executive Fresh Talent Initiative Challenge Fund.
