Job hunting websites in the UK

Today's blog is going to be about the job-seeking websites in the UK.

The ones I have registered to are:

  • Guardian Jobs
  • Rate my Placement
  • Graduate jobs
  • EuroGraduate
  • Total jobs
  • Prospects
  • Target jobs
  • Yougov
  • Student gems

The good thing about subscribing is that they keep you updated on any new job openings/graduate program/career fair from various companies.
The bad thing is that it will be annoying checking the daily e-mails.

Good luck on the job hunting!

One of the first things I did when I started my MSc was attending Fairs and joining groups.

 The groups I joined were:
  • Islamic Society
  • Bangladesh Society
  • Italian Society
  • Manchester University Comic Collective (MUCC)
  • Gospel Choir
  • Yoga & Living Well Society
  • Japan Animation Society
Good thing they were free and I did not have obligatory participation, as I only attended one session of the MUCC.

My main reason for not participating was either the meetings ended too late at night or it clashed with my lectures (I would also have them during lunch hour). If the societies updated their meeting hours in their page ( I am referring to the one under the Student Union), I would not have sent my request to join them. Even so, it is a good idea to participate actively, as you are meeting new people with similar interests and different backgrounds.

  Instead the Fairs I attended were:
  • Ethnic Diversity Fair
  • Business Fair
  • Postgrad Fair
I highly recommend to attend these Fairs (or any other Fairs) as they have so many freebies! The most useful ones are pens (I have 3 mugfulls of pens), notebooks and bags! Other gadgets include magnets, bookmarks, pencils, highlighters, stress balls, keyrings, pendrives, t-shirts, sweets, chocolates and much, much more! Oh, and of course, information booklets on the companies/universities.
Fairs are the best places for poor students to stack-up on school materials, as they will last one year and you saved money :)
