This is a website that specialises in helping students with employment issues, particularly of the post-graduate sort.
It helps in oh so many ways!!! Firstly, to get a personal sevice from the site you will need to register with them which is a painless experience.
Once registered, you really can make the most of the site. You can use their search facility to find your ideal post-graduate job. Jobs/careers are categorised which makes it all the more easier. However you can even get this bit done for you!! On one of the pages you can simply click on the types of jobs you are interested in, and Prospects will email you when a vacancy in your preferred category crops up.
There is also the opportunity to put your CV up online. Simply click on the tab labelled 'My Prospects' and here you get the opportunity to fill in various sections that will help to form your CV. For instance, from personal details such as address et al, to the usual such as work experience, qualifications, etc. However, if you want to take full advantage of the CV service and if you want to sell yourself to the full, then I advise you put at least three hours aside for this task. Each section takes quite a while to complete and there are many sections, but it is really worth doing. Once complete, your CV is stored on the site for employers to browse through when a vacnacy in their company arises.
Also, whenever you log in to the site you can see how many times an employer has looked at your CV.
If you are a student or a post-graduate looking for work, I suggest that you visit this site and take advantage of it's fantastic help and facilities. You never know when you might need it!!

Advantages: Amazing amount of vacanices, good career advice, Fab email service Disadvantages: sometimes too many emails, and a CV database that employers don't seem to search through.
