- Careers & Appointments Service
- ==============================
-
- You're doing Physics. You don't need this - you won't get a job.
-
- "The Careers Service offers a wide range of facilities, and the staff have
- always been helpful. However, it is up to the students to do the groundwork,
- and put in the time neccesary to organise their careers.
- I think the careers service needs to encourage students to use these
- facilities, or be introduced to them, early in the course. This would help
- students in the later stages of their course when the work is more demanding.
- What is it anyway?"
