Even after graduating from Erasmus University Rotterdam, you can still turn to Career Services for career guidance. For up to one year (12 months) after graduation, you can use our services free of charge, helping you make the transition from university to work with confidence.

tailoring your CV and cover letter to specific vacancies, presenting yourself more effectively during 
interviews, and focusing your search on roles that match your skills and ambitions.
