Science Career Appointments
Science students and graduates are encouraged to book career exploration appointments with a career advisor. These appointments can be scheduled via the Navigate app or by emailing careerdevelopment@mun.ca. Career exploration appointments help students develop career goals and understand the career paths available with a science degree. Additionally, other services such as resume critiques, mock interviews, LinkedIn profile optimization, and job search consultations are offered to support students in their career development.
Ready, Set, Connect is a Science Career Networking event where science students and graduates have an opportunity to pitch their skills and experiences to industry professionals from various companies that hire for science backgrounds. During the event, groups of students and grads are matched up with participating industry professionals at tables. The industry professionals move to another table approximately every seven minutes until everyone has been acquainted.
Next Event: TBA
All students and alumni are welcome to attend. Alumni with educational backgrounds in Science and Arts (Humanities and Social Sciences) will be speaking about their career paths and how they navigated their job search. This is a great opportunity to learn where a Science degree can take you. Since many jobs are not publicly advertised, networking is a major factor for students and graduates in finding jobs and careers! You will hear from each presenter, and a question and answer period will follow so, not only can you get the information you need, but you can also make meaningful connections with those in the industry.
Join Career Development in a campus-wide collaboration bringing Memorial students a weekly online workshop series to support your job search.

For: 3rd Year (and Beyond) Science Students
Are you looking for a job but not sure how to get started? Interested in learning the various ways to apply for jobs?
Every winter semester, third-year (and beyond) science students have the opportunity to apply to the Science Job Searching Club – a support group of job seekers who learn to enhance resumes and cover letters, master in-person and virtual networking, improve interview skills and acquire tips and tricks to dive into the hidden job market. Students in the Science Job Searching Club have the opportunity to network with industry professionals, learn what employers look for in candidates and take time during some of the sessions to job search with other group members.
Meetings are supportive and full of discussion led by a Career Development Coordinator with the Faculty of Science. Participation is free, and students who sign up are asked to participate in all sessions.
