We know what you’re thinking – with great online resources for finding a graduate career, why do you need to attend a graduate recruitment event?
There are several reasons why attending face-to-face can be a huge benefit to your career now and in the long run!
Save Time – By meeting with multiple organisations that are looking for graduates in one place, you can save time by trawling the internet and looking for opportunities. All of the organisations visiting will have graduate vacancies to fill.
Grow Your Connections—You may be surprised to find out what knowing the right people can do for your career. Attending a graduate recruitment fair like Gradfest can put you on the map with some of the industry’s biggest brands. Even if you do not end up working for them this time, just meeting the key players can grow your connections and help your career in the future.
Find New Opportunities—If you’re not sure what career options you have or what you want to do, a graduate recruitment event is the best place to find out. There will be brand new career opportunities at your fingertips.
Become Memorable – A face and a conversation are far more memorable than a CV or written application. Become more memorable in the eyes of your prospective employer by attending Gradfest and speaking to companies you want to work with. This works both ways – the employer gets a better idea of you, but you also get a better idea of them and how they work.
Attend as a Group or Individually—We have two different registration options: group registration and individual registration. If you feel more comfortable attending in a group, you may wish to speak to your university and find out if they want to organise a group registration. Contact us for more information and options about this.
Overall, we know that an event like this can seem daunting – especially if you are used to online events – as many of us are! But we would really encourage you to come along. You will not get this experience anywhere else!
