The Careers Department at GCUhave first a variety of services such as CV review,LinkedIn profile review and mock interviews, and you can access these either through drop ins that the university team does and the university does.

There is a variety of positions that are postedThe GCU Careers website also contains a lot of information such as when virtual career fairs will be taking place, or other workshops that the companies come at the GCU and deliver, so you can decide to participate in whatever event fits your incentive.Bbefore the pandemic, all these events were taking place on campus, therefore there were employers that were coming at the, GCU campus. And now since there's the pandemic, all these services have been transferred online. There are many companies that come in GCU for thecareers fairs such as JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Barclays and even PWC. If you visit the GCU Careers Hub, you can notice that there's a partnership that GCU has done with an external agency where you can practice mock interviews and there is a lot of advice on how you should do your virtual interview, tips and tricks. And also there is also a portal where you can practice behavioural questions that you might be asked in the assessment centre. Nowadays there are some companies that ask you to do some numerical or behavioural questions. but if you are not trained for this or you don't know where to practice, you can visit the GCU Careers website and log in and you can find a lot of practice questions that are delivered by this external agency. Furthermore, the GCU Careers Department is always open for feedback and indeed I participated to a variety of focus groups. Most of the studentsonce they complete their degree will be looking for a full time job or part time position, so having a very strong careers department in the university is very important to help you learn with your next job
