Prepare like a Pro

Before you go, make sure to watch our Making the most of careers fairs video. It’s packed with practical tips to help you stand out and make the most of every conversation.

Additionally, you can browse the PhD Careers Fair e-brochure and Summer Recruitment Careers Fair e-brochure for the full list of employers attending.

As part of your preparation, we’d also advise you to craft a confident 30-second introduction. This is your chance to make a strong first impression by clearly communicating who you are, what you do and what you’re aiming for.

Take a moment to reflect on your strengths – it’ll help you speak with purpose and clarity.

For example: “Hi, I’m a second-year Mech Eng. student passionate about sustainable transport. I recently worked on a hydrogen vehicle project where I developed knowledge of power systems and control units while working as part of a team. I’m keen to explore this field further and secure an internship in the clean tech sector.”

So, be sure to mark your calendar, polish your pitch, and get ready to make connections that could shape your future.

We can’t wait to see you there!
