Before
Research the employers and develop your commercial awareness’
Why is it worthwhile? Lets you focus on relevant organisations to maximise your time on the day Gives you more to talk about to make you memorable (in a good way) Commercial awareness is highly valued by employers so puts you ahead of the competitionUseful for interviews and assessment centres
How do you do it?
Look at: What products does it make? What services does it provide? What is the organisation’s mission statement? How would I sum this up in my own words? What clients and customer does it have? Who are their competitors? What types of roles do they have in the business
Think about how you present yourself
First impressions count and you want to be remembered positively You’ll feel and look more confident
Dress presentably and aim for a neat appearance overall Be conscious of body language Speak clearly Outline your strengths and skills. Prepare an ‘Elevator Pitch’ Take your CV along
Ask questions

Ask for more information about things that interest you from your research How well do you understand the stages in the recruitment process? Are there aspects of the job role you’re unsure about? What skills have made others successful in the organisation?
Make some notes
Capture useful information you have gathered Keep track of contacts for your network
A few brief notes after each conversation will keep facts, details, hints and tips you’ve collected clear Note the names of people you’ve spoken to or collect business cards, so you can refer to them later (e.g. in covering letters)
Follow up
Shows you’re reliable and committed Increases your active network Can lead to further contacts and opportunities
