CityCareers CAREERS, STUDENT DEVELOPMENT & OUTREACH
Welcome from
Sponsors of the 2015 Engineering, Science and Technology Fair More than a consultancy firm, Accenture is the perfect mix of strategy, digital, technology, consulting and operations expertise. Through these core areas Accenture is able to create end-to-end solutions that transform and improve the way organisations work – as well as offer a great environment for any graduate to thrive. Every year, Accenture’s diversity of work, expertise, people, clients and training turns talented students into successful professionals. Whether they are helping to develop a commercially available app, like the RBS 6 Nations Official Championship app; advising organisations on their people and processes; or creating technology that changes millions of lives, such as biometric passport readers, Accenture’s graduate programmes allow people to make a real impact across a spectrum of industries and clients. Graduates who join the Consulting Programme will work with clients to identify market opportunities and shape the strategies that solve the most complex business challenges. Accenture’s Client Delivery Programme is all about delivering solutions that really work. Using a deep understanding of technology, graduates will assess which innovations are right for clients – then work to implement them. Our Software Engineering Programme offers graduates with practical programming knowledge the chance to design, build and support cutting-edge technical solutions – advising on which technologies should be used and making sure they’re delivered in the best way. Of course, wherever graduates join, they can look forward to fantastic support, as well as a structured and tailored training programme, which provides the key practical (and technical) knowledge to do the role, but also the all-round business skills that make Accenture people so highly regarded in the industry.
We are delighted to invite you to the 2015 Engineering, Science and Technology Fair. This event is an ideal opportunity for you to network with key recruiters from these sectors and gather information that will help you stand out from other applicants. Please use the checklist below that the CityCareers team has prepared for you in order to help you make the most of this event and get ahead of the competition.
Before the Fair • Registered for and attended the fair preparation session or completed the Engineering, Science and Technology Fair Prep Quiz to learn how to make the most of the Fair and get a fast-track entry pass? • Pre-registered online via www.city.ac.uk/careers? • Done some research on the exhibitors that you want to approach on the day? Start with reading the profiles of the exhibitors in this guide. • Researched how employers prefer to be approached at Careers Fairs? • Prepared some relevant questions that demonstrate your interest in that area of work? • Prepared a couple of sentences to introduce yourself clearly and succinctly to organisations?
See page 13 of this guide for further information on how to secure a fast-track entry pass. 2|3
On the day • Approach the stand as you would do at an interview – first impressions count! • Start conversations with expressions such as “I am interested in...” or “I know about your company and would like to find out more about...” • Be prepared to outline succinctly your knowledge of the company, express enthusiasm in what the company does and describe how your background could contribute to their needs • Find out what exhibitors are looking for by asking them what skills and experience they require. You can then tailor your experiences and responses to what they are looking for • Have a notepad ready so you can note down the name of anyone who you really enjoyed talking to. If they inspired you to work for their organisation, mention this in your application form • Be proactive and keen: talk to the recruiters • Plan what you are going to wear to project a professional image on the day of the Fair. Present yourself as you would at an interview.
• Stand in a huddle in the corner talking to your friends • Monopolise a single person • Just browse or collect freebies • Dress too casually (jeans, trainers and baseball caps are not recommended).
Prepare to answer questions “Tell me about your course and why you decided to study it.” “What interests you about engineering/science/technology?” “Tell me a little bit about yourself.” Are you ready to sell yourself positively and succinctly in response to general openers like these? Start with your name, course and year of study. You may then want to say a few words about your career aspirations, areas of interest, why you are attending the Fair and why you have approached the employer in front of you. Write your notes on the following lines:
Prepare to ask questions Have a look through the pages that follow and identify employers that you would like to approach at the Fair. Think about questions that you would like to ask each of them and write them down in the notes sections under exhibitors’ profiles in this guide, ready for the day of the Fair. For example, prepare questions that will help you decide if a particular career or a particular organisation may be the one for you. You may wish to find out more about opportunities for professional qualifications, long-term careers prospects, work-life balance, job security, work environment, training and development opportunities, content of work, opportunities to work internationally and job availability. You may also wish to ask questions about recent news stories or big issues facing a particular organisation or industry. Ensure you do not ask questions which can be easily answered by doing some very basic research.

My notes:
Why should first year students engage with employers early? “It is a two-way process. Students should consider which area they wish to professionally develop a career in and consider the type of organisations that are most suitable and more importantly where they can gain the most experience from. Employers want to engage with future talent early. They want to start career conversions early and hear from students and the various technologies that they are studying.” Ticketmaster “Engaging with employers early will provide students with an opportunity to get a feel for organisations they may wish to join post-graduation. They will also get to meet some people who actually work for those organisations and this may help provide some career tips and a clearer direction.” BP “First year students should engage early in order to gain early exposure to a variety of available opportunities. They can then obtain experience in a chosen sector of interest, which will help them prepare for second year internships and graduate schemes.” Civil Service “It is important to find out about the opportunities available upon completion of your degree at an early stage as it gives you an idea of the skills employers are looking for. There are also many ways to engage with employers throughout your degree including internships and placements which are an excellent ways to stand out among the crowd.” FDM “Early engagement shows the employer that you have an interest in the industry and are committed. It could also open up opportunities for work experience, industrial placement or graduate job. Employers prefer people they know, especially small businesses.” Metis Consultants 16|17

Overcoming the fear of networking events
“Don’t spend the whole time talking to one person, try to move around and if you find this too daunting then try going around with a networking partner. Make sure you follow up, especially if you’ve spent time creating great contacts. Just drop them a courtesy email to bring the relationship to life.” Accenture “Be yourself; remembering that we all had to start somewhere. Arriving early allows you more time to meet individuals prior to the event commencing. Introduce yourself with a firm handshake and listen when discussions are in play. Ask questions, remembering you don’t have to say something for the sake of it. Do your research on the event and have some set objectives you would like to achieve. Also ensure you always follow up those engagements.” EAMS “Take a friend with you and you can speak to employers together. The more comfortable you become the more events you will feel able to approach employers on your own.” IBM “Remember that networking events are just an exercise in building relationships. Take time before the event to prepare a short introduction of yourself, including an interesting fact about yourself that makes you unique (maybe you are a former ballet dancer, or you speak a different language), although it should not sound staged. It is always better to attend and be well prepared.” SEO London “Our top tip is to smile! Smile, introduce yourself and the conversation will naturally flow with an employer.” Skanska
