Hints and tips to help you make the most of the Law Fair

Plan to leave the fair with more than a collection of brochures, sweets and pens. With a bit of preparation, you can gain a lot more by having informative conversations with representatives and perhaps making your mark with some of them…

. Have a few questions prepared in advance to help introduce yourself to employers (and smile!)

. Read this Fair Guide and be well informed about what employers have to offer, in terms of graduate opportunities and work experience, before you approach them.

. Research the employers through the careers pages of their web sites.

. Ask specific questions which indicate that you have done some background research. You may have limited time to make an impact so make sure you’re prepared.

. Give the impression of being reasonably well focused on the sort of work you want, why you would like it and why you would be good at it.

. Don’t restrict yourself to talking to just a few employers. A Fair is an ideal time to talk to companies you haven’t heard of before.

. Employers will not usually be collecting CV’s on the day, as you will be encouraged to apply through their normal channels. However, a well-prepared CV might be useful when introducing yourself.

. Before leaving an employer, you may find it helpful to make a note of the name of the person you spoke to. It may be useful if you wish to contact the employer at a later date.

. Formal dress is not required, but aim for a generally smart appearance.

. Aim to arrive early and give yourself plenty of time to look around and ask questions.
