Career Mentoring for Newcastle University Students

Looking to get ahead in your career?

Career Mentoring offers Newcastle University students career support through pairing you to a mentor working in the region.  Mentoring pairs you with a mentor working in industry to help you make contacts, and get an insight into their job role and organisation.

You will be paired with a mentor and have at least four sessions over a four to five month period.  The frequency of these sessions and where they take place is up to you and your mentor to decide, so the programme is flexible around your other commitments.

Who could be my mentor?

We currently have mentors available within the IT sector, including local companies such as Scott Logic and Bede Gaming.  Your mentor could be anyone from a recent graduate, senior project and team managers, individuals working on a freelance basis, and CEOs of start-up companies.  You’ll be matched to a mentor based on what you want to achieve from the programme.

If you’re looking for advice about how to tackle tricky interview questions, what to expect from a placement / internship, or how to get ahead in your career – your mentor can use their experience and knowledge to help you.

Welcome new and returning students

Once again it’s the start of a new academic year. If you’re a student in Computing Science at Newcastle University thinking about graduate employment and work experience, including placements, we hope to provide you with some useful resources to help you with your job search.

This blog (csatncljobs) has, for the past couple of years, hosted opportunities for placement and graduate  jobs together with links to other information provided by the University Careers Service. We’re now changing things a little so that there is less repetition of information: the Careers Service Vacancies Online system is the main repository for all job opportunities. The csatncljobs blog now includes an RSS feed for all IT related jobs, and another RSS feed specifically for IT related placements.

We’ll be using the blog to draw your attention to some specific opportunities, fast approaching deadlines, events, news and anything else relating to employability.

Very best wishes for the year ahead, and please let us know of anything else you’d like to see included in these pages.
