Careers Fair
The Autumn Careers and Placements Fair at Surrey is the biggest event in the Careers Service’s year and whilst we offer many and varied other opportunities for you to meet employers this is an important place to start. The organisations represented are showing an active interest in Surrey graduates however by its’ very nature the Fair is not the place to find niche employment opportunities. We offer other events such as networking evenings for this.
The Careers Fair 2012 took place on 11th October

Practice talking to recruiters
You are unlikely to be offered an interview but talking to prospective employers about graduate appointments can help to build your confidence
Expand your network
Meeting recruiters and often Surrey graduates from previous years helps you build useful contacts for future reference.
Learn industry information
Speaking to recruitment professionals in your chosen sector is a great way to learn about the industry.
Gather information about companies
