Candidate Testimonials
From candidates who have attended our Job Fairs
"We are both looking for work and have both found roles we can apply for here today. We have had some good chats with employers here today. Worthwhile attending."
Rob & Geoffrey, Swindon Jobs Fair30/04/2025"I have recently completed university and I am looking for employment. This has been a useful event to see what is available locally and to gain some good information."
Paul, Swindon Jobs Fair30/04/2025"I have attended today and gained some useful advice on how to progress in my career. I have had a good informative chat with Michelle and she suggested some ideas to help me!"
Peter, Swindon Jobs Fair30/04/2025"I travelled down to visit Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary. I found the officers really helpful and engaging, they were honest about the different sides of policing and how they felt it would be most beneficial to me to enter the force. I feel I took lots of information away and learnt things I didn’t know before. Very good event!"
Isabel, Portsmouth Jobs Fair30/04/2025"Really good to chat about jobs I’ve already applied for and to see what else is out there job wise."
Elsie, Portsmouth Jobs Fair30/04/2025"I’ve made notes on positions suitable for me as well as having some promising chats. I like the idea of having quiet spaces in the room to go to collect my thoughts! Thanks for putting this on."

"I found today very productive, I went to a jobs fair a few years ago and was assuming it would be the same, the room had a real vibrant look and the companies were more than happy to chat! Well worth coming."

"I found this jobs fair very useful because I can speak to the exhibitors here in person rather than applying online. I can also narrow down roles that I am interested in."
Heidi, Glasgow, 14/02/2025
"Everyone has been very helpful. Careers Wales gave me some good advice and RAF were very informative about their apprenticeships scheme for my daughter."
Claire, Cardiff, 29/01/2025

Ivana, Cardiff, 29/01/2025
"I found the Jobs Fair to be excellent. I took pictures of the jobs from the job board and spoke to several of those who represented various companies offering training courses and jobs. I'm now more determined than ever to explore the various options available with one of those being with the Civil Service, I am determined to get back into the Civil Service after leaving in June 2022 so it will be interesting applying and hopefully gaining employment back with them again. My feedback for the event is excellent with the representatives being incredible, full of knowledge, and being able to provide with me information and ideas that I'm now going to follow up and pursue."
