A WARM WELCOME TO THE 2017 SUMMER OPPORTUNITIES FAIR Student Jobs, in partnership with UPSU Volunteering, are delighted to welcome you to the 2017 Summer Opportunities Fair. Come along and meet local and national organisations who are all looking for employees and volunteers like you. This event has been generously supported by Santander Universities.

“ IS IT RELEVANT FOR ME?” “I am not from Plymouth”

We have invited organisations from across the UK, many promoting roles in numerous locations.

Regardless of whether you already have a summer job, attending our fair may put you in contact with organisations offering degree specific experience.

“I am an international student”

THE SUMMER FAIR IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO: • Meet employers offering degree relevant work and volunteering experience. • Interact with employers face-to-face, allowing you the perfect opportunity to make a great first impression. • Gain valuable information about what providers are looking for.

Many of the organisations attending our fair hire international students.

• Practice your networking skills and boost your confidence in talking to employers. • Secure yourself a job or a volunteering opportunity and spend your summer improving your employability skills.

“I am not looking for a job...” It’s OK, we have lots of volunteering providers who can provide you with great employability opportunities

SUMMER OPPORTUNITIES FAIR 2017

HOW DO I MAKE AN IMPRESSION ON THE DAY? Although fairs provide a less formal atmosphere, the organisations will still be on the lookout for potential candidates: • Dress to impress – first impressions are key, so make sure you dress for the occasion. • Arm yourself with CVs – take hard copies of your CV to distribute to employers. Make sure it’s a good one by attending our workshops or visiting the Careers & Employability Hub for CV advice. • Trust your notepad – make sure you take a notepad to keep important information or use the notes section next to the employer profiles in this brochure. • Do your homework – Research the organisations who are attending by visiting their websites and various social media outlets. Prepare appropriate questions and stand out from the crowd.

WHAT KIND OF QUESTIONS SHOULD I ASK? Your questions will depend on your current experience and which specific organisations you are interested in visiting, along with the level of research you have conducted before hand. Consequently, everyone’s questions will be different, but here are a few examples to get you started: • What experience would make an application stand out? • What particular skills are you looking for? • What does your standard application process involve?

• Plan your visit – Plan which companies you wish to meet and devise a strategy to ensure you have the opportunity to speak with them all. • Stay in the know – keep up to date with all the latest job and fair information by following:  PlymUniJobs |  PlymUniJobs • Prepare for the next stage – book onto a basic interview workshop to ensure you are prepared for that all important interview.
