They are available daily, Monday - Friday during semester (times vary during vacation) and can be booked up to five days in advance or on the day. Visit the Careers Service from 9.00 am (11.00 am on Tuesday) or call us on 0114 2220910 (book early at busy times) Need another appointment?You can book another appointment whenever you need and if the Adviser thinks that you need more in-depth guidance, then s/he will refer you for a one-hour appointment with the Careers Adviser linked to your course.

CV reviewsWe run additional CV review appointments during term-time between 12.00 - 2.30pm, Monday - Friday.
