Dear Student,
 Summer Graduate Recruitment Fairs
Dates for your diary:
This week our focus is on the range of Summer Graduate Recruitment Fairs which take place in Ireland and the UK. In Ireland, the two locations are Dublin (June 16th 2010) and University of Ulster Jordanstown campus (June 15th 2010). These events are excellent opportunities, for students graduating in 2010 and for recent graduates to meet with companies who have graduate vacancies at this time. The Summer Fairs are mainly organised by staff of the careers services in the various locations, members of the Association of Graduate Careers Advisory Services (AGCAS) in the UK and gradireland in Dublin.
Action you might consider now:
Why not google the fair(s) of your choice, check out the participating companies and the specific opportunities on offer, prepare excellent CV and application material, pre-register your intention to attend if this is a facility on offer- (in some locations, preregistered participants will be fast tracked!), make out a time schedule for the day to cover meeting all of your preferred companies as well as attending briefing sessions, company presentations and CV clinic etc. Practice your interview skills and be prepared to make a superb impression
