Careers Fairs: Meet Employers and Network One of the best ways to explore your career options and make valuable connections is by attending the careers fairs held at the university. These events bring together a range of employers, giving you the chance to meet with recruiters and learn more about the opportunities available. It’s your chance to ask questions about their placement schemes or internships, and find out what they look for in candidates. Careers fairs also provide many networking opportunities, giving you the chance to expand your contacts, which could potentially lead to future job opportunities. Make sure you come prepared to these fairs with a list of companies you want to talk to, and some questions ready to ask the recruiters.
