Making the most of Careers Fairs
A Careers Fair is a unique opportunity to meet lots of employers in one place. Making the most of it means you have to know why you are attending, have a plan of action and be prepared.
Do you want to:
Do you want to:
- Explore what differentiates employers to help you decide if you might be interested in starting your career there?
- Find out more about what jobs actually involve?
- Are you interested in hearing about the working culture/environment?
- Would you like to practise speaking to employers to build your confidence for later job searching?
All of those are possible, but each requires preparation.
Planning your visit
Before you go into the Fair, spend a few minutes reviewing the Exhibitor details in the Careers Fair Guide.
Prepare a list of questions you want to ask recruiters and any graduate trainees. Here are a few suggestions:
- Tell me about your current role. What does a typical day look like for you?
- What do you enjoy most about your work? What do you enjoy least about your work?
- What kinds of problems and challenges do you have to deal with?
- What skills/qualifications/experiences are vital in getting into this career?
- What are the best things about your employer?
- What’s it like working for your employer? What type of employee fits in well?
- What do the strongest applicants get right?
- Is there one thing that makes an application stand out? If so, what is it?
- What top tips would you give me about applying and working there if I’m successful?
During the fair
Approach Exhibitors with a smile, firm handshake and positive attitude. Remember to introduce yourself before you ask your questions.
Ask your questions and note down anything you find out.
Take a copy of their information if you are interested in following-up.
