Spring Careers Fair (Thursday 5 March)
https://student.kent.ac.uk/careers/events/spring-careers-fair
- 10am – 2pm at Colyer-Fergusson Music Hall, Canterbury campus
- The Spring Careers Fair welcomes a range of employers, across sectors, who are looking to speak with students about their graduate jobs, placements, internships and volunteering.
At the Fair there will also be a:
- Careers Fair Prep Point: There will be a ‘Careers Fair Prep Point’ outside the main hall, where you can get help planning who to talk to, what questions to ask, and how to make the most of the careers fair.
- CV Clinic: Visit our CV Clinic, where you can speak to an Adviser for a 10-minute CV review or to get some advice on making future applications.
- Calm Admission: 10am -10:30am is Calm Admission. We know that a careers fair can be daunting. Crowds can make some individuals feel anxious or cause concerns about physical access. The Careers service will be starting the Careers Fair with a calmer 30 minute slot. This is intended to give you time to meet with employers and organisations in a less crowded space before our main event begins (you are of course welcome to stay for this too).
We look forward to you joining us!
