Welcome to the University of Portsmouth’s Graduate Recruitment and Placement Fair 2015 The Graduate Recruitment and Placement Fair is a great way to meet a variety of potential employers and gather information about the graduate and work experience opportunities available. Your aim for the day should be to make a positive impression on anyone you meet by sounding confident and asking intelligent questions. If you are not sure how to approach an employer or what type of questions to ask, then our team are on hand to assist you with your fair-related queries. You will find members of the Purple Door team available throughout the fair as well as on our stand located in the Main Hall. You can also use the information provided in this guide to assist you in finding out more about each company and the opportunities they can offer based on your chosen degree.
Welcome
Ten top tips for making the most out of the Fair
1
Read the guide Don’t wander aimlessly – use this guide to prioritise which companies/ organisations you would most like to visit. The guide will also help you research the employer and avoid unhelpful questions like ‘what does your company do?’ This way you can identify which employers are most relevant for you and locate them easily.
2
Identify your own priorities It is easy to walk around in a group with friends but you will get much more from the Fair if you approach the employer individually. What do you want to know? Skills needed? Recruitment processes? Types of work areas? Training and development?
6
Don’t be pushy or monopolise the employer Be self-aware and sensitive to your fellow students and employers. It isn’t about getting a job today – it’s about making contacts and finding out information to help you make the right choices.
7
Take a notebook Making a note of people’s names and key points after any discussions will ensure you remember the important information and enable you to follow up with that organisation later.

Check your appearance You are meeting potential prospective employers so ensure you make a good first impression. Be mindful of any overpowering smells such as tobacco smoke or very strong perfume and remember to smile. Get stuck in Be enthusiastic, friendly and polite. Use this opportunity to practise your networking skills in a safe environment. Even if you are feeling nervous, try to be confident in your approach and handshake and don’t be afraid to strike up a conversation.
5
Ask the right questions Don’t waste the chance to make a positive impression. If you are unsure about what questions to ask, pick up a prompt sheet from the Purple Door stand. You might even want to prepare a very brief ‘pitch’ so you are confident in what you want to say about yourself.
Top tips
Busy stands or queues to speak to employers? Don’t give up – wait patiently or come back at a quieter time.
Use the Purple Door support available today Haven’t found what you were looking for? Ask us. We have a large team of advisers on hand at the fair to help you. We can be found on Stand Number 42.
After the Fair Take action. Reflect on what you have learnt. Update your CV, work on your LinkedIn profile, research other options or organisations that you found out about or make an actual application. If you do nothing, you will regret it.
