How to prepare
A short plan for this hiring event, based on its format, audience and details.
Before the fair
- Test your camera, microphone and internet connection on the event platform the day before.
- Check the official page for the list of employers attending, then pick 3 to 5 you most want to meet.
- Have a link to your resume as a PDF ready to paste into chats with employers.
- Practise a 30-second introduction: who you are, what you do well and the kind of role you want next.
- Read the roles on offer and pick the ones that fit you, so you can say which you are applying for.
- Update your resume so the top third shows the roles and skills you want to talk about at this fair.
At the fair
- Log in by 11:45 a.m. to sort out any technical issues before the event starts.
- Open with your 30-second introduction, then ask what the team is hiring for right now.
- Choose a quiet spot with a plain background and good light, and keep your resume open in another tab.
- After each conversation, write down the person's name, the role you discussed and what to follow up on.
- Hiring events move quickly. Be ready to fill in an application form and talk about your availability.
What to bring
- Your resume as a PDF named with your full name, ready to upload or share.
- Headphones with a microphone, and a charger for your laptop.
- A document with your introduction, your questions and links to your portfolio or LinkedIn profile.
After the fair
- Send a short thank-you email within 24 hours to each person you spoke with, and mention something from your conversation.
- Apply online to the roles employers pointed you to, and mention that you met them at the fair.
- Connect on LinkedIn with a short note reminding them where you met.
- Save chat transcripts and contact details before the event platform closes.
