Making the most of Careers Fairs

A chance to impress or get some pens?

A Careers Fair is a unique opportunity to meet lots of employers in one place.

Making the most of it means you have to know why are attending, have a plan of

action and be prepared. Do you want to find out more about what the jobs actually

involve? Are you interested in hearing about the working culture/environment?

Would you like to practise speaking to employers to build your confidence for later

job searching? All of those are possible, but each requires preparation. Spending

some time in preparation will help you feel relaxed and confident on the day - which

is a whole lot more impressive to employers than wandering around looking

bemused!

Preparing for the Fair

A week or so before the Fair, check the Careers Centre website for a list of Exhibitors and make a list of the top 6–8 you definitely

want to meet.

Look at the recruitment section of the websites of your top 6-8, so you are well informed on the day.

Prepare a list of questions you want to ask. The specific questions will depend on why you are attending the Fair and what your

research has already told you. We’ve made a few suggestions – please read on.

At the Fair

Be sure to dress tidily, so you give a good impression. Try to arrive at least one hour before the Fair is due to finish. The earlier the

better as, towards the end, fairs can get very busy and you may miss the chance to speak to a popular employer you are really

interested in.

Pick up a floor plan and identify the location of the Exhibitors you plan to visit.

Approach Exhibitors with a smile, firm handshake and positive attitude. Remember to introduce yourself and ask them your

questions. Bear in mind the people you meet at the Fair are likely to be part of the recruitment team, so you might meet them

again if you apply. There might also be recent graduates from St Andrews or elsewhere, giving you a chance to speak to someone

actually doing the job. Make a note of who you speak to and refer to them in any application.

Keep an open mind. Speak to Exhibitors who are not in your top 6-8 to see how they compare and whether or not there are any

interesting opportunities for you.

After the Fair

Review the information you have collected and add it to your career search folder.

Make a note of any application deadlines in your calendar and add any other tasks you need to your action plan, for example

tailoring your CV and practising interview techniques.

Visit the Careers Centre, either online or in person for help in furthering your career search and preparing applications and

interviews.

Knowing what to say when approaching Exhibitors at a Fair can be a bit nerve wracking. Working out in advance what you want to find out will help you feel and

behave more confidently A good strategy is to begin by saying something you know about the firm, after first

introducing yourself, and before you ask a question eg “I know you have a number of international offices and that appeals to me as I want an international career”

Questions you might ask about the job

What are the main responsibilities? What do you actually do in a week?

What kind of work do trainees do in your firm?

What do you enjoy most about your work? What do you enjoy least about

your work?

What kinds of problems and challenges do you have to deal with?

What special skills do you use?

How will my performance be reviewed?

What opportunities are there for career progression?

Questions you might ask about the firm

What makes the experience of working in your firm different from

working at your competitors?

Could you describe your firm’s culture and the type of employee

who fits in well?

What do people like most / least about working for your firm?

Questions you might ask

What do the strongest applicants get right?

What top tips would you give me?

What’s the main reason candidates are unsuccessful?

Teach First The link between low family income and poor educational attainment is stronger in the UK than in almost any

other developed country. That’s not right, it’s not fair and it can’t be allowed to continue. Teach First’s graduates

are doing something about it and having a massive impact on young people’s lives.

Teach First is an independent charity aimed at addressing one of the UK’s most damaging social issues – educational disadvantage. We recruit exceptional graduates and experienced professionals into a two-year leadership development programme during which they become inspirational classroom teachers in schools facing challenging circumstances across England. Teach First trains and supports these extraordinary people as they find their voice as teachers, mentors and role models to young people whose life opportunities are defined by the quality of the education they receive.

At the same time Teach First provides its participants with opportunities to develop their own potential through skills training, leadership development and exposure to leading organisations across the spectrum of education, business and the third sector.

Job Functions/Vacancies

We are recruiting for high calibre graduates to teach for two years on our Leadership Development Programme.
