Getting the most out of the fair

First impressions do count.

Dress smartly (but you don’t need to wear a suit).

Treat the fair as a first stage interview; it might turn out to be just that especially as the recruiters will remember those people who made an extra effort.

Bring a pen and paper to make notes after each discussion, including the names of anyone you speak to.

Keep your mobile on silent, or better still switch it off when you are talking to an employer.

Talk with employers; don’t just pick up brochures and freebies.

Be professional and think about how you want to start the conversation. How will you introduce yourself? What questions will you ask?

Be confident about what you can offer. Think about how your degree, any work experience and your range of skills – how might these be useful for that company?

If you are interested in a particular aspect of their work tell them. You’ll be able to get some inside knowledge that could be useful in your application or interview.

Make sure you’ve got a copy of your CV ready so you’re not digging around in the bottom of your bag.

Make sure you get along to one or some of the workshops.

After the fair

Go through your notes.

Read through the company literature.

Email any contacts that you made and thank them for their time – do this within 24 hours.

Then start applying!

And most of all – have a great day and GOOD LUCK!

FREE raffles with a choice of great prizes

Past and current projects include implementing SAP Business One company wide systems for a 120 person business, managing & delivering a marketing campaign for the UK division of a Japanese equipment company & delivering a company overhead budget. Projects are well scoped out and typically last initially for 6-9 months but often extend.

Client companies are smaller established and independently owned businesses. They want to grow and improve. They know a graduate can help. But don't know where to source a graduate from, how to manage a project and don't have time to mentor the graduate. The opportunities for making an impression are huge.

The market rate for one graduate has doubled in under a year after being headhunted by Accenture. Another project delivered two big orders paying back the graduates' cost in 2 months.

You are given a lot of responsibility to see the project through from start to end and deliver the results. It's a great first stepping stone in your career.

I work with Bradford University to help place students with local businesses, ideally on projects. I will also run a Graduate Business Academy in May to help students to become ‘business ready’.

Join our workshop Practical ‘business ready’ advice for working in smaller dynamic businesses:
