Manchester hosts UK’s biggest graduate jobs fair
09 Jun 2014 The UK's biggest jobs fair will be organised by The University of Manchester on 11 and 12 June as graduates are finishing university and seeking their first step on the career ladder. This annual Graduate Recruitment Fair at the Armitage Centre in Fallowfield welcomes more exhibitors over the two days than any other in the UK, and is free to attend for any new or recent graduate, in any degree discipline, from any university. Representatives from 180 companies and several higher education institutions are participating, with different exhibitors on each day. Graduates will get the opportunity to find out about permanent paid jobs (and a few voluntary positions) in a variety of sectors locally, nationally and internationally, as well as postgraduate study opportunities starting autumn 2014. The Fair is an ideal chance for graduates to make a positive impression on several potential employers at once, and exhibitors includes recruiters such as Astra Zeneca, Bloomberg, EA Technology, IBM, Sky and Teach First. Jan Hewitt, Employability Consultant at the University, said: "We do advise graduates to dress smartly, to bring copies of their CV and to try to research companies and their vacancies beforehand - you will make a better impression if companies feel you have done your homework. You can check out the vacancies each company has on the list of exhibitors for each day on the Fair website.
