Get a job - pay your bills and experience the world of work. Make sure you've chosen the right options in your degree and take every opportunity to participate actively in your course - in seminar debate, presentations, projects, research, team work, etc. Get involved, on or off campus, to broaden your experience. Take advantage of free or cheap facilities to improve your skills, such as computing, foreign languages, or numeracy. Use every opportunity to confirm you know all you need to know about your chosen option - lots of Careers Service events this term will give you direct contact with potential employers.
Several days can be spend in pursuit of one job.
Be sure you are both keen and suitable for the job before applying. Be selective - you're less likely to waste time and more likely to be successful if you target courses or jobs you really want and would genuinely be good at. Not everyone will be successful in the job search early in the year. Lots of recruitment activity takes place in the summer after exams and some continues all the year round.
