BFRS careers fairs are an important resource for the service community – even if you don’t get a placement as a direct result of the fair, you’re still taking steps towards your chosen career and moving closer to your perfect job.

A suitable placement can be difficult to find, and with the amount of competition for appointments you have to use every avenue you can to maximise your chances of finding the right position for you.

Careers fairs are one of the best ways to find an positiont in your area of interest. A careers fair is an excellent opportunity to meet potential employers face to face and market yourself to your chosen industry. Even if you haven’t finished your resettlement, careers fairs are still worthwhile as a source of information, contacts and interview experience.

• Honing your interview skills – Even if you aren’t offered a job, talking to prospective employers about a placement, gives you confidence and experience for future interviews.

• Expanding your network – Meeting recruiters and even fellow service leavers helps you to build useful contacts for future reference.

• Learning industry information – Speaking to industry professionals in your chosen sector is a great way to learn about the industry.

• Gathering information about companies – Investigating the kind of placements offered by a company tells you a lot about that organisation
