For students and graduates, the worry of having a job is always on our minds. Whether it’s a part time job to top up the student loan, or that big impressive job at the end of your degree to wow your mom and dad with. So to help you out, listed below are some sites that can help you find that job and stop all those niggling worries!
Prospects
An oldie but a goldie. Prospects is the ultimate website for students and graduates. On here you can find quizzes to match your preferences and job profiles to find out more information about your dream job.
Prospects also posts lots of jobs on its page, as well as internships, volunteering opportunities and working abroad, plus information on postgraduate study too. So it’s a great little tool to bookmark!
Joblift
Joblift is a job platform where jobs from most separate online job board sites, such as Milkround, Guardian jobs, and TotalJobs, are displayed! Very handy! This helps students, graduates and anyone else looking for work find jobs in one place without trawling the internet for ages.
If you’re not able to check the website on the daily, you can subscribe to the job alert. You will be sent the latest job offers that meet your specific criteria via your chosen email.
Yorkshire Graduates
Clue is in the name really, but this is a site for graduates wanting to stay in the Yorkshire area. Jobs are split into their designated sector so you can explore what kinds of jobs you can do if you’re interested in a certain industry. There’s an advice page where you can find tips and tricks of the employment world, and there’s also a ‘Love Yorkshire’ page, just in case you needed reminding.
Save the Student
It’s not a job site, but it’s a great place to find information and advice surrounding student life. Going with the employment theme, Save the Student can help you perfect your CV, find out how to sort your tax codes, how to make money on Etsy. Basically all the info you weren’t taught in school is on this website ready and waiting for you!
These are just a few sites that are more student specific for finding jobs. There are always the usual suspects of Indeed, Monster and LinkedIn, these are great, but it’s worth using graduate sits as this is where employers will put most of their graduate jobs. Happy searching!
