How to get the most out of the fair

If you're new to our fairs, read our tips to help you prepare and make sure you get the most out of this event.

  • Do your research - Make sure you look into the employers you're interested in speaking to. What do they do? What opportunities are they offering?
  • Prepare some questions - The fair gives you the opportunity to ask questions and show potential employers your interest in their organisation. Come up with some good questions that show the recruiter you are interested in the organisation and that you have done some prior research.
  • Plan your time - Make sure you plan who you would like to speak to and if they are particularly busy you can always speak to someone else on your list while you wait.
  • Be open to new ideas - Look at what each company and role offers. Who knows, you could find something you haven't considered before.
