Our ‘Meet the Employer’ events are a good way to explore a range of career options in an informal environment. Talk directly to professionals, hear their career stories and access insider advice.
- Chat face-to-face
- Discover more about working in a wide range of sectors
- Find out about which opportunities open to you
- Decide which roles appeal to you
- Get insider tips to maximise your chances of success.
You can speak with employers to explore your options in different sectors and for advice on applications in a relaxed, informal environment. Depending on demand, this may be one-to-one or in small groups. These are ideal situations for you to evaluate what skills are valued in the workplace and assess the type of company and job roles that appeal to you.
The drop-ins mostly take place in the Davison Building, either immediately outside the library entrance or in the Event Space. You can find out more on the Events tab of the Careers Portal.
You have the opportunity to ask employers about anything related to their job, company or sector, from 'What is a typical day like?', 'What experience do you need before applying?', to 'How to make a good application?'.
You can get an honest idea about whether it’s the right career move for you as an individual and you can also get more information that other candidates don’t have to make your application or interview performance stand out.
As it’s not an interview, they aren’t judging you!
The sessions are drop-in, however if you have a busy timetable, we do recommend that you book your time slot ahead on the Careers Portal to avoid disappointment.
