Candidate Picture Testimonials

"I am being made redundant soon and came today to see what opportunities are available locally. I've been really pleased to find a couple of potential positions that interest me. Michelle has also been really helpful and informative."

"Looking for a change and thought i'd come by today. It's been useful and informative, i'm please i attended."

"I brought copies of my CV with me in the hope of finding work. I spent a lot of time speaking to every company in the room."

"I’ve just got out of education and came along to the jobs fair, it was very useful speaking to potential employers and recruiters to find potential fits and explore the job market. I enjoyed it because I was able to make connections, network, and gain some useful LinkedIn contacts."

"This event has been very helpful. I enjoy speaking to people face-to-face, it’s a nice change from staring at a screen! There is a good variety of stalls too."

"Overall I am really happy with the job fair. I think it’s an amazing opportunity and better talking to different companies in person because they get to see what you are like as a person. They go through the jobs with a lot of detail and help you understand how to apply. The job fair is better than applying online as you get to engage face-to-face whereas online you get no feedback."

"I loved seeing people face-to-face, so sick of applying for things online. So much quicker and easier to get the information in-person. It was very beneficial attending today!"

"Nice chance to chat to companies as well as a good networking opportunity. I’m sort of retired so just used it as a chance to see what’s going on at the minute and what’s out there!"

"I’ve been round the jobs fair a few times having conversations about my next role, I’m currently employed but seeking something with better hours than my current role. Hoping to find something customer facing by the end of today!"

"I found today very helpful and everyone has been very friendly and it’s been useful to be here face to face to be able to talk and find out more about the jobs they have and lots of them I will definitely be following up and applying for."
