Careers Network - careers support from Bristol graduates

Gain careers insights and support by networking with Bristol graduates and former Bristol research staff

'The Careers Network proved to be the single most useful resource available to students during the Milkround process. This tool allows students to contact Bristol alumni who are now pursuing careers in industry, and without doubt was crucial to gaining my job offer.' John Gill, Marketing Manager, Unilever (MEng, Engineering Design, 2012)

Video tutorial - how to access and use the Careers Network

Are you graduating this year? Do you know what you are planning to do next? If so, the Careers Service would like to know details of your work and/or further study plans - please contact the Graduate Destinations and Statistics Team.

What is the purpose of the Careers Network?

The purpose of the Careers Network is to allow current Bristol students and staff, and recent Bristol graduates registered with the Careers Service, to network with more than 750 graduates and former research staff of the University of Bristol, now studying, researching and working in dozens of different fields, in order to gain careers insights. You could ask... What do you do? How did you get there? What was the selection process? Any tips on how I could make myself a better candidate? What experience do I need and how might I get in?

All Careers Network members have volunteered to offer you informal support related to a potential career and you can send them a message via the Careers Service. Some members also offer work experience and vacation work opportunities. You can also search for members who offer mentoring.
