I’ve found the career resources to be very well populated and managed. For example, I found my current role as a Brand Ambassador for Sanctuary Recruitment through MyCareer. I have also found the resources such as CareerSet highly insightful and the results have helped provide clarity on the type of career that I want, to improve my skills and to tailor my approaches to things which suit me best. Moreover, I have used MyCareer to join pathways, book appointments and events with the friendly Careers Service team to provide me with a human perspective and/or more specific guidance and direction.
