In addition to meeting employers (listed below), there are a number of other services you can access at the fair:
- CV reviews - come and get your CV checked by one of the Careers and Placements team in a drop-in on the day.
- LinkedIn photos - have a photo taken for your LinkedIn profile
- Work wardrobe - for students who need a professional outfit for work or interviews, choose (free of charge) from items donated by York Cares partners.
- Careers and Placements stand - come and talk to us about our support for York graduates
- Fair buddy - If you feel nervous about approaching an employer at the fair, help is available! Whether you find the situation difficult because of a disability or health condition, anxiety or any other reason, come and talk to us on the Careers and Placements stand. A member of our team will be happy to have a chat with you and then help initiate your conversation with an employer.
Are grad schemes for you?
If you're studying Arts and Humanities, you may think grad schemes aren't aimed at you, but you'd be wrong. We've put together information and videos to help you decide whether a grad scheme is the right choice for you. Find out more at the online session on Tuesday 8 October: Are grad schemes for you?
