Welcome to the Graduate Jobs Fair You have made a great decision to spend some time here today. Our Graduate Jobs Fair is designed to move you closer to a future that’s right for you. If you are graduating in 2015, then now’s the time! Speak to the employers about their organisations and vacancies but remember that not all companies can be here today. Check out our website for hundreds of opportunities for Nottingham graduates. If you are starting to make applications, attend our workshops to help you to stand out from the crowd. If you are doing some early career planning, it really helps to know what is out there. Find out about placements and internships as well as getting expert advice from our team to help you to get one step ahead. Today you have the chance to do both, but the opportunities extend far beyond this fair. Did you know that Nottingham graduates can talk to our advisers, search for vacancies and attend events for life?
We’d also encourage you to look beyond the brands you know when it comes to looking for your future employer. Check out the companies with pink dots [ ] next to them in this guide. While less well-known than the big brands, these are all successful companies, many of which are local to Nottingham. With big opportunities for talented graduates, they could have the perfect job for you. In summary, whatever stage you are at in your university life, your graduate career will come together as you discover opportunities and get expert help to make the right choices. We hope you have a great day. Nalayini Thambar Director of Careers and Employability
