Furthering Yourself
By now you should be well on the way towards Graduating in 3D.
The exercises in this level help you draw on the skills and attributes that you are acquiring on your programme and in the other activities you are participating in, to help you in managing your career path.
People start researching and planning their career at different times in their life. 3D Graduate exercises are designed to provide a structure for moving you forward at whatever stage you are at during your time at university.
If you get stuck at any point, drop into Goldsmiths Careers Service or talk to your personal tutor.
Build Your Own Career Path
It is rare to find someone who has walked straight into a job after graduation without good preparation. Everyone is different and everyone’s career decisions will be different.
The next exercise ‘Recognising Your Skills’ will help prepare you for the application process. It draws on your planning skills and serves to 'test' the research you have done on jobs of interest. If you find you don't yet know enough about the job you should return to Researching Your Options in ‘Transforming Yourself’.
