BA Profesional:
A Career Conversation Series

In our BA Professional video series, a current student in our faculty interviews a former HSS student about their career path after they graduated. We ask them how they got their dream job, to give you some insight on how you might do the same. The videos also offer you a peek at the many, diverse professions that await you after graduation. Guests have included Communications Advisors for the United Nations to CEOs who started their own business. We have hours of videos for you to enjoy and learn from:

Career options with a BA

Curious what careers are associated with our majors? Wondering what to do with your degree once you get it, or now that you have it?  The answers might surprise you, or make perfect sense once you see them: we’ve had folklore majors go on to host national CBC radio programs and archeology graduates find exciting work in Newfoundland & Labrador's thriving tourism sector.

Find work on campus

There are a number of part-time work programs on campus, and they provide flexible hours to accommodate your class schedule. You can apply for these jobs at the beginning of every semester. Other work opportunities exist at MUNSU, the MUSE, the Bookstore, the Works, Bitters, the food court in the UC, among other other options

Virtual career workshops

Career Advisors across Memorial University’s St. John's campus have partnered to bring students a series of career development/job search workshops online. The content of the workshops will address ways of building job search techniques and conducting career exploration using online resources. Students can choose to attend one virtual workshop or attend them all.
