2. Searching for opportunities

TARGETconnect holds many opportunities from local part-time roles to national graduate schemes

and volunteering opportunities.

Select Search & Apply from the Opportunities drop-down menu and narrow your search using the

limiters on the left hand side.

Tip: if you are looking for local opportunities only, select Opportunity Type from the bottom of the left hand limiters and select the local opportunity tag. You may select more than one tag. To find out more about an opportunity click on the job title to see: the full job description, the employer profile and application instructions.

3. Booking an appointment

Select Appointments on the menu bar and then Search & Book. Select the Appointment type (e.g. BOC or BRC) from those listed and select Show results at the bottom. TIP: if you are not able to come on to campus you can request any appointment to be conducted over the telephone when completing the booking form. You will then see a list of available appointments. Simply chose the one that best suits you and select Book now from the right hand side. Select the reason that best matches what you wish to discuss at your appointment, or give details if none of the options are applicable to you. Finally select Book this appointment from the bottom of the screen. This booking will now appear under Appointments – My Appointments. You can cancel an appointment from here by clicking the appointment title if you can no longer attend. You will also receive an email booking confirmation.

4. Booking an event

To see what events are available, select Events from the menu bar. You can either Search & Book, which takes you to a searchable list or, if you know what date the event is being held, you can go to the Events calendar. Once you have found an event that you would like to book a place on, click on the event title and select Book now. Depending on the event, there may be a short booking form to be completed. Events booked will appear in your My Events area where details of your place can be viewed or cancelled. You will also receive an email booking confirmation.
