Heard of Speed Dating? Our exhibiting employers are offering speed interviewing with a difference. We’ll be running a Career Discovery session that will give you 5 minutes interviewing a professional about their role, the qualifications and experience needed to succeed in their vocation and the best and worst bits about their job. Find out what it is really like to work in Performing Arts, Human Resources, Banking, Administration, Retail, Media, Accountancy and many more jobs you’ve never thought to consider. Our professionals include partially sighted and blind people who can give you that real practical advice to succeed.
If you’re already focused on your career route we can also offer you an informal, yet invaluable Speed Interviewing Session offering exciting networking opportunities, top rate interview practice, and best of all potentially be selected for an amazing Summer Work Placement!
The day will include a buzzing Market Place of exhibitors that can offer advice on accessibility and technology within education and work, schemes such as ‘Access to Work’ and ‘Disabled Student Allowance’ and household name employers such as Shell UK.
