As a University of Nottingham graduate, you will receive lifelong support from the University's Careers and Employability Service. This means that you can ask a careers adviser to look over your job application by email or Skype, or in person, and you can also access a database of graduate vacancies.
Our students benefit greatly from the careers advice they receive from our School of Geography alumni network. This is usually communicated through careers talks, guest lectures on the undergraduate Careers Skills for Geographers module, or attendance at informal careers networking evenings.
Alumni often comment how much they enjoy imparting their advice to current students at such events and they consider it to be a very rewarding experience. It's also an opportunity to catch up with school staff and other alumni.
We are happy to welcome our alumni back to the school to participate in these events so please contact us if you would like to. You could also join our LinkedIn alumni group. Please see the school's alumni page for further information.
Alumni regularly return to the school to provide careers advice to our students at talks and networking events.

Britain's first female cricket commentator, Alison wrote her dissertation on the impact of TV on English cricket. Starting her career as a runner with Channel 4, she now relays the latest sports news for the BBC.
