Careers and Employability Service www.nottingham.ac.uk/careers

Welcome Welcome to our Careers in Management and Business Fair. We’re really pleased that so many companies have chosen to join us today. The employers attending will be really keen to engage with you and many of them are looking for students from any course or discipline.

You should see the fair as an opportunity to find out more about the companies and learn about what it’s like to have a place on one of their graduate schemes. While you’re here you can also gain an insight into their different business areas and career paths. It’s a good idea to find out what they look for in candidates and what you need to do to make a successful application, so don’t forget to ask questions about their recruitment processes.

If you would like to have your CV reviewed, or talk to a careers adviser please ask a member of our team, who will direct you accordingly.

Making the most of the fair

If you are a postgraduate student in the Business School, please contact us directly on businesspcs@nottingham.ac.uk to book an appointment.

We also run group sessions we run postgraduate business students throughout the year – check Moodle for more details.

• Let employers know that you have done your research and are aware of the company, and the opportunities they have to offer.

Don’t forget that we’re here to help you through the year, at our centre in the Portland Building and in your school through our faculty teams.

We offer CV review and careers advice appointments at University Park, Jubilee Campus and Sutton Bonington Campus. These are booked online at www.nottingham.ac.uk/careers/appointments

• Promote yourself and tell employers what you have to offer; your skills, strengths and any relevant specialist knowledge or technical skills etc.

• Visit the representatives from less well-known companies and see what they have to offer – don’t discount them just because you may not of heard of them.

• Before you leave an exhibitor’s stand, make a note of the person with whom you have been speaking and any tips or information they provided – this may be useful for any applications you make.

• Having spoken to a company representative don’t be surprised if you are referred to the company’s website – many employers have standard application procedures which involve an initial online application.
