Job fairs in the UK are a place where employers go to advertise their company and any recruitment opportunities that they may be able to offer to a suitable candidate.
The companies that have stands at these events are often large companies that are able to offer a number of job opportunities at different branches of their business across the UK, some examples of these are Royal Mail, Virgin, Bentley and Sky.
Anyone can attend a job fair and they are usually free. The fairs are often advertised on the internet with details of which companies will be there and what the set up for the day will be.
Attending a job fair is a great opportunity to get to speak to a representative of a company that you are interested in and get to ask questions and learn a bit about the roles that they are offering before applying for a job.
It’s also a great place to get general tips and advice on job hunting and completing application forms as well as guidance on creating a great CV.
