WELCOME TO THE UNIVERSITY OF PORTSMOUTH’S GRADUATE RECRUITMENT AND PLACEMENT FAIR 2017. 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 they have. Your aim for the day should be to make a positive impression on anyone you meet by sounding confident and asking intelligent questions. This is an information fair so dress code is smart casual, however if you want to portray a more professional image a suit would be good. Your approach to employers should be friendly, polite and positive. 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 Careers and Employability Service team available throughout the fair as well as on our stand located in the Main Hall. Remember that the fair is only one avenue to explore when looking for employment. Some employers do not recruit through a traditional careers fair - MyPurpleDoor (our online jobs board) provides access to over a thousand opportunities for graduates and your Faculty Placement Office can help you look for a placement. You can use the information provided in this guide to assist you in finding out more about each company and opportunities they have based on your chosen degree. Remember - over 70 per cent of the organisations attending are looking to recruit from any degree discipline. Finally, our professionally trained staff are available to help you. Visit us in the Main Hall or at the Careers and Employability Service, James Watson East, Guildhall Walk.
MYTHBUSTING FACTS! Myth 1) “There’s nothing here for my subject!” A huge range of employers across all kinds of sectors recruit graduates from any discipline – remember, every business needs a range of different roles to run it. The transferable skills developed during your studies can be applied in many ways, so you can move beyond the boundaries of your subject. Check the fair guide to see what kind of jobs each company has on offer. Myth 2) “There aren’t any actual jobs on offer, this is just about training schemes” Don’t be fooled into thinking that a graduate scheme or programme is an easy option: these are real jobs with real responsibility and, often, the chance to experience more than one role or department and get to know the company in depth. Companies at the Fair may well build structured training into their opportunities, but roles suitable for graduates come in many shapes and sizes. Other organisations, especially SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises), will offer different packages. Myth 3) “All I need to do is get a 2:1 and I’ll be sorted, right?” Wrong! Academic achievement is important, but there are plenty of other activities that will increase your chances of success. It’s not just a case of getting any old job either, you need to feel confident that it will suit your skills and strengths and that you’ll fit into the culture, giving you the right kind of challenge to progress. Compare and contrast different options to help you choose: attend events in Faculty and Employer Presentations organised by the Careers and Employability Service, research companies and industries online, check out career paths on LinkedIn and get started on our website or come and visit us. Myth 4) “The people on the stands don’t seem to know much about jobs I’m interested in” Companies send different kinds of representatives to Fairs and they can all be useful to you in different ways. For example, HR staff know the ins and outs of the recruitment process, placement students or recent graduates can share their experiences of applying and working in the company and managers can tell you about likely tasks and projects and how they’re organised. There are plenty of different angles you can ask about and all mean you learn something new. Myth 5) “Fairs are only good for confident and outgoing people” If you’re shy or nervous, setting goals for the event will be helpful. Preparation is a great way to boost your confidence about approaching exhibitors, so why not read the Fair booklet or Google the company before visiting the stand? Be ready with a few possible questions and see which way the conversation goes. Making eye contact and shaking hands can break the ice – and remember they are there to help you. Good luck.
MAKING THE MOST OF THE FAIR 10 TOP TIPS FOR MAKING THE MOST OUT OF THE FAIR 1
Read the guide – don’t wander aimlessly, use the 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?
3
Check your appearance – you are meeting potential prospective employers so ensure you are presenting the best version of yourself. Be mindful of any overpowering smells such as tobacco smoke or very strong perfume and remember to smile.
4
Get stuck in – be enthusiastic, friendly and polite. Use this opportunity to practice 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, talk to someone on the Careers and Employability Service stand. You might even want to prepare a very brief ‘pitch’ so you are confident in what you want to say about yourself.
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 note book – 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.
8
Be prepared to be patient – don’t give up. If stands are busy or queues are long, wait patiently or come back at a quieter time.
9
Use the Careers and Employability Service – we’re here to help. Not found what you were looking for? Ask us. We have a large team of advisers available at the Fair to support you. We can be found in the Main Hall.
10 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. Book to attend an Employer Presentation to find out more. If you do nothing, you will regret it.
