Opportunities Gateway Online
Opportunities Gateway Online is Career
Development's vacancy service for YSJ students and graduates. To
take full advantage of the service we recommend that new users
follow the link to Register me - by registering you will
be sent email job alerts about the type of work you are interested
in. Once you have registered it is possible to search not only for
part-time vacancies but also graduate jobs, vacation work,
voluntary work, work placement opportunities and events. To access
part-time vacancies without registering scroll to the foot of the
page and select part-time vacancies in York.
This online vacancy service is supported by prospects.ac.uk, the UKs official
national graduate careers website. If you are already registered
with any of the Prospects services, you can use the same username
and password to access the Opportunities Gateway.
Books and Resources
The university library has a stock of books on career choice,
occupations, further study and training, work and study overseas
and job seeking (CVs, applications, assessment centres and
interviews). Career Development also distributes a wide
range of take-away booklets.
