Our Ask the Adviser appointments are 15 minute conversations to chat about anything careers related. We may then refer you to appropriate resources or activities that we offer, including a 45 minute careers appointment or our range of Design Your Future workshops.
Appointments are available in person (at Highfield Campus, the Sir James Matthews Building and Winchester School of Art) and online (through Microsoft Teams).
Before arranging an Ask the Adviser appointment, we strongly recommend you make use of the UoS Career Hub resources, which include an automated CV checker tool and an Interview 360 tool for instant feedback on interview technique.
This service is available to all current students at the University of Southampton and to alumni for up to five years after graduation.
You can use our Ask the Adviser appointments to discuss anything careers related. Topics can include:
We have appointments available Monday to Friday 10:00-16:00. Please note that during vacation periods these times may change. Please see MyCareer for available appointments.
There are two ways to join your online appointment:
Graduates:
We recommend that, wherever possible, students and graduates receive support through an appointment online or in person, as this allows you to have a discussion with the adviser. If, however, you feel that written feedback would be more suitable for you please let us know and we will arrange an appointment for written advice instead.
After your appointment, your adviser will leave notes on your MyCareer profile about what was discussed. Please see our Appointment Notes Guide for instructions on how to access these through MyCareer.
If you require any additional information regarding our appointments, please contact us and we will be happy to discuss your questions further.
