How should I prepare?

It is always a good idea to do some prep before attending any recruitment event. So here are a few tips on how you can prepare to meet employers:

• Update your CV and bring along some copies of it to give to interested recruiters. Remember, you can get your CV checked with one of our qualified Careers Advisers,
• Bring a pen and paper or somewhere you can make notes, write down hints, tips and employer contact details on the day. You could even make notes on your smartphone,
• Keep an eye on the organisations that will be attending and plan out which ones you want to talk to – you could even prepare some questions to ask,
• Dress to impress – Remember, first impressions are everything so how you are going to present yourself; this includes what you’re going to wear and making eye contact,
• And don’t forget to tell us what you’re doing to prepare or how you are enjoying the event by using the hashtag #UoSOFair.
