Careers Fairs
Meet with employers
Throughout March and April there will be a variety of opportunities
to meet with employers who each year recruit significant numbers
of graduates.
Some employers will be on campus conducting Information
Sessions, while others will be participating in our on
campus Careers Fairs.
BE PREPARED TO MAKE THE BEST USE
OF THE CAREERS FAIR
Consider what you are hoping to get from your attendance
at the Fair - chances are you wish to identify different industries
you are interested in, and which employers may be interested
in your discipline.
- Review the employer list and which disciplines they seek.
- You might like to focus your questions/enquiries on:
- what roles do graduates traditionally do within the organisation
- where might you end up in 2 to 3 years time
- do they encourage professional development
- is there a formal graduate development program
- what's the general feel/culture of the organisation
- what does their recruitment process involve (closing
dates, online applications, assessment centres etc)
- what would be the best way for you to get more detailed
information regarding their organisation, its clients and
financial performance
- what are the key things they look for in their recruits
(academic, work, personal qualities, extra curricular activities
etc)
If you are completing your studies next year you need to
identify if they offer work placements, vacation work, or
industrial training.
REMEMBER: This is not an interview situation,
but these people may interview in a month or so.
So ... be polite, be enthusiastic, be interested!
