Dear Student,

Welcome to the inaugural UCD Science, Engineering & Technology Careers FairWhile there can be no doubt that graduates face difficult times in sourcing and securing graduate career opportunities, it is the case that many employers are recruiting and some are taking large numbers of graduates often from a diverse range of academic subject areas. Indeed, many sectors represented here today have experienced great difficulty in filling the vacancies they have both in Ireland and internationally.

Through networking effectively at this event, you will be able to identify potential employment opportunities. In addition, by working with staff at the Career Development Centre you will learn how to recognise and develop the skills employers want, construct stand-out CVs and cover letters and perform effectively at interview. Please do call to the Career Development Centre to make use of our resources. In addition, you can access information, podcasts and video showcases on topics such as making effective applications, preparing for interview and much more.

Whatever it is you intend doing when you complete your studies at UCD, we want to help you develop and implement your career action plan. Members of staff at the Career Development Centre wish you well and look forward to meeting you at the Fair and at our Centre which is situated beside the Campus Bookshop on the ground floor of the James Joyce Library Building.

Best wishes,Dr David FosterDirector – UCD Career Development Centre
