Graduate Fairs in London
moove2london on 13 Oct 2009There’s really no question that the current economy is making it tough for graduates. The pool of graduate jobs is shrinking and competition is as fierce as it’s ever been. However, heading to the capital for work is still a wise move, as it maximizes your chances of securing your dream grad job.
In order to give yourself the best possible chance of acquiring work with a top recruiter, you really need to get yourself to a graduate fair, with your polished CV in hand.
One such recruitment fair, taking place next Tuesday, 20th October, is the Guardian London Graduate Fair, from the Careers Group, which is FREE to enter. It’s being held at the Business Design Centre on Upper Street, Islington, N1 0QH
Aside from meeting an excellent list of top recruiters, there’s also the chance to visit a series of workshops such as ‘Writing the Application Form’ and ‘Great Answers to Interview Questions’. These workshops cost £10 for 1, £15 for 2 or £20 for 3. Spaces are limited and you must have reserved your place on them by this Friday the 16th October.
You can also attend the Guardian Sessions Room, where 3 debates will be taking place, one of which is entitled ‘Hot tips on how to succeed in challenging times’.
