Candidate Testimonials
From candidates who have attended our Job Fairs
"I visited the Birmingham Jobs Fair at the start of April so knew that I had to come to West Brom today to check out the opportunities. I’ve had various chats with different employers and am hopeful it will lead to getting me back to work."
Ian, West Brom Jobs Fair26/04/2024"I came to the event to have my eyes opened to new opportunities in and around Norwich/Norfolk, I find it hard to portray myself through my CV and I much prefer an in person style approach."
Lewis, Norwich Jobs Fair26/04/2024"Really useful event to network and find out about local opportunities. All the stands and advisors have been very helpful. "
Jemma, Norwich Jobs Fair26/04/2024"I came here today to find a different job as I’m looking for a new challenge.

"A BIG thank you for organising your Jobs Fair events. My son graduated from university and started an office job with a 3-month probation period. A week before the probation ended, he was ‘let go’ without much explanation. It felt out of the blue and we realised that they took on a number of people for just one vacancy and let a number of new starters go. The whole experience knocked my son’s self confidence and motivation. After that he was reluctant to apply for jobs saying things like ‘I won’t be able to do that’, or ‘they won’t want me’. He did apply to some online but didn’t always get a response which again was fuelling his negative mindset. I persuaded him to attend a Jobs Fair. He reluctantly walked in with me and told me that ‘there was nothing going to be there for him, and it was a waste of our time!’ However, the event was bright, informal and inviting, we walked round all the stalls. Everyone was positive and extremely approachable. Not everything was relevant to my son as there was stands from very different industries, I would say something for everyone. Within 10 minutes he had engaged in conversation with people from companies. They were saying things like, ‘you’re just what we are looking for’, ‘have you considered this…?’, ‘we would never treat anyone like that, you’ve been unlucky’ and ‘we would love to give you an opportunity'. In no time I left him there happily chatting to companies. I can honestly say the whole experience boosted his confidence and gave him his Mojo back. He now has a full time job, which he loves and is thriving at and enjoys much more than the original job he had and he feels that they ‘did him a favour’ by letting him go! I have no doubt that he wouldn’t be in such a good place now if it had not been for The Jobs Fair. The fact you provide an informal face to face contact for people looking for work and various employers is priceless, please keep doing it. You don’t realise what a positive impact it has on people. Thank you!"
