There are careers for both. Your first hurdle then, is to make the employers read the form. If it's illegible, grubby, crumpled, covered in blotches or if it's uneasy on the eye for any reason, the chances are they won't bother to read it and they'll never find out what a nice person you are. After reading the form, the employers still won't have found out unless you've told them. So answer all the questions as fully but as succinctly as possible and don't be too afraid of letting your character show through. So you don't play sport and you don't have any hobbies, you just like mooching about with your mates in the bar. Rather than writing 'none' or 'drinking' in the hobbies gap, you could put 'After a full day studying, I enjoy relaxing in the company of good friends discussing anything from the Waldorf case to the meaning of life', well something like that.

Sixty employers will be here for you to approach in the JCR or the Great Hall. The nationalised concerns will be here in force this year: British Telecom, Steel, Gas and Rail suggesting that they may have more vacancies to talk about in 1984. Oil companies whose recruitment was slight in 1983 appear to be entering the market again. The financial concerns, particularly the banks and accountants, have already notified us of large numbers of vacancies for 1984 graduates and so have Her Majesty's Forces. Below is given a list of employers who will be attending the Careers Fair. After the title, a brief description of the organisations main activities is provided and, in brackets, the main departments from which they will be hoping to recruit graduates. This is not absolutely binding in every case and it may well be worth making an enquiry even if the letter corresponding to your department (as indicated in the key below) does not appear next to the employer's name.
