Not many employers would ask you to run a multi-million pound business after 14 weeks. But that’s the beauty of Aldi. They trust you. They listen to you. You feel like the ‘newbie’ at the start but you just roll your sleeves up and get stuck in. It’s tough. Tougher than I thought it would be. You’re often managing people who have been there for years. You’re organising store openings at breathtaking speed. You’re taken out of your comfort zone on a daily basis and given a million things to juggle. But helping to drive the UK’s fastest- growing supermarket? It feels utterly amazing. aldirecruitment.co.uk/graduates BECAUSE I’M ALDI. AND I’M LIKE NO OTHER.

Hints and tips to help you make the most of our two day Autumn Careers Fair

Come along to the Great Hall on both Wednesday 14th and Thursday 15th October to meet over 100 different employers. There will be a wide range of employers exhibiting on each day, so we encourage you to visit on both days to get the very best from the event.

This is your opportunity to meet with graduate employers from all sectors, find out what they have to offer you and consider careers you’d never even thought about!

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.

Please visit the Careers Service Student Helpdesk if you require this publication in an alternative format.

Careers Network will also be operating a CV checking service at the fair – please see a member of careers staff at the reception upon entering the Great Hall for further details Exhibitor List – Day One These exhibitors are marked with a  in the Fair Guide.
