More Than a Jobs Board

More than a jobs board

There are plenty of places to search for jobs, but finding an opportunity is only one part of starting a career. At Early Careers, we wanted to build something that helps young people before, during and after the application process.

That's why, alongside apprenticeships, internships, graduate opportunities, work experience and entry-level jobs, you'll find practical advice designed to answer the questions that come up when you're starting out.

Need help with your first CV?

Your first CV doesn't need to be packed with years of employment history. Our resources explain what you can include, from education and skills to volunteering, personal projects, hobbies and other experiences.

Not sure what to expect at an interview?

Interviews can be daunting when you've never had one before. We cover how to prepare, what questions you might be asked, how to give good examples and what to do if your mind suddenly goes blank.

Don't understand the salary in the advert?

Terms like gross pay, net pay and pro rata can be confusing when you're seeing them for the first time. Our guides explain salaries, pensions, holiday entitlement and workplace benefits in straightforward language.

Wondering whether university or an apprenticeship is right for you?

There isn't one route into a successful career. We compare university and apprenticeships, covering cost, learning style, earning while learning, qualifications, work experience and career progression.

Not sure what happens when you start work?

Starting your first job comes with plenty of questions. What should you expect from your employer? What does a probation period mean? How do workplace benefits work? What should you do if you need support?

Our workplace advice is designed to help you feel more prepared for the transition from education into employment.

Practical advice, without the jargon

We don't think you should need years of workplace experience to understand how the workplace works. Early Careers brings opportunities and practical advice together in one place, helping you find opportunities and giving you the information you need to make the most of them.
