Careers Downloads - content from careers events

Careers Downloads gathers together content from selected Careers Service events
Content includes audio files (MP3s), PowerPoint slides and handouts. Audio files can be listened to on a computer, MP3 player or iPod although we recommend the use of headphones rather than speakers, in part for audio quality reasons but also because computer speakers may be disabled in public access areas such as branch libraries and computer rooms.
Please note:

• The audio files are presented as they were recorded; there has been little or no post-production or editing.
• Presenters are giving their personal views as individuals and not necessarily as representatives of their organisations.
• Access to Careers Downloads content is restricted to current students and staff of the University with a Bristol email address and Bristol graduates during the first three years after graduation. Access is restricted, in part, due to content distribution restrictions requested by guest speakers/ information providers.
• Presentations delivered by employers - The Careers Service is keen to hear from employers interested in providing audio / visual content for Careers Downloads. Please contact the Employer Services Team.
