Artificial intelligence and your job hunt - the do’s and don’ts
With the seemingly relentless rise of AI (Artificial Intelligence), ChatGPT and other related platforms have been at the centre of many debates and discussions this year. Let’s take a look at upcoming AI regulation and the impact of AI on education and recruitment.
Entry requirements and deadlines for postgraduate courses
Most, but not all, postgraduate applications are now centralised through the Postgraduate Applications Centre (PAC). But you should always check with each individual institution in relation to criteria and closing dates, and departments will have specific entry requirements for each postgraduate course.
What happens after the interview?
The wait after the interview can seem interminable, especially if you feel it went well. The employers’ decision, whether yes or no, will of course create several decisions for you to make.
Change career paths with conversion courses
If you find that your career path may lie in a different direction to the path you studied for your undergraduate degree, don’t panic. It’s normal for some people to change path and there are a host of conversion courses out there to help you.
How to use social media when looking for a job
Social media can be a real help when embarking on your job hunt or career planning. Having a social media presence can support your networking activities and can also help you to identify job opportunities. Remember, though, that while social media networks can help you find a job, they won’t do it on their own. You need to be strategic and proactive in how you use them.
Funding your postgraduate study
Funding is a major concern for many considering postgraduate study. Having just endured the financial constraints of undergraduate study, the costs of postgraduate study can be daunting. However, there are supports in place and with good planning, and factoring in the necessary time, there are funding programmes that you may be able to take advantage of to help ease the financial burden.
Your rights in the workplace
The most important thing in any job, whatever the company, is that you are healthy and happy in the workplace. No matter how hard you work, you can’t work well if you are not content in the place you are at work and the work you are doing. Your rights in the workplace are enshrined in law. They cover elements such as human rights, sexual and ethnic diversity, disabilities and more. A growing number of companies are working hard to make their workplaces as welcoming and open-minded as possible, which is great news for graduates. So, let’s take a look at some of your rights in the workplace.
