Careers Appointments

We offer various in-person and virtual appointments to help you steer your future in the direction you want it to go.

 

Our appointments are conducted by our specialist Careers Consultants and Application Advisers and booked through King's CareerConnect. 

We offer hundreds of appointment slots weekly, but during the first weeks of semester one, demand is incredibly high and you may need to be prepared to try a few different slots.

  2. Attend some of our workshops and employer events.
  3. Complete our CV Pathway on King's CareerConnect and review your application(s) with our AI tool, CareerSet.
  4. Check out the resources available on our KEATS pages.
