Preparing for a Gap Year

02.10.18

Gap Year offers a wonderful opportunity to take a break from study - maybe travel, work, earn and save money in readiness for University life. Some students elect to work overseas as au pairs, camp counsellors, and ski instructors or in hospitality, and there is a range of organisations available to assist you in finding such work. Whether you are taking a Gap Year or planning to commence your working career, you will likely be focussed on job search early in 2019. Read the tips in this newsletter on how best to prepare and perform in your job search approach, and click on the following useful links for more information on options:
