Although a certain percentage of graduates will still be unemployed six months after leaving university, the majority will have found employment by then. Many of these will even have been offered a job while at university, as a result of visiting a job fair.
Job fairs are held at many universities each year. Companies come along to advertise jobs, which are usually in management, and the career structures and benefit packages that go with them. Job fairs are an effective way for undergraduates to find out what kind of job they might be interested in.
If you go to a job fair, dress professionally. Don’t wear jeans and a T-shirt. Wear a suit! You don’t want to look irresponsible when you have your first meeting with your potential employer. If you’re interested in a job on offer, you may have to fill out an application form, so it’s helpful to take along relevant information with you. You’ll also need proof of all your qualifications, so don’t forget to take photocopies of all your certificates with you.
