With the
London Graduate Fair fast approaching, it is key to consider how to make a positive and lasting first impression when meeting employers. Looking smart and professional is just the start, be aware of your body language and how this is portraying you. Smile and make eye contact often as it shows genuine interest and engagement. From our employer feedback biggest turn offs include people just taking freebies and walking off with no interest in the company, students asking questions while still wearing headphones and lack of investigation into what the stand is actually offering – do not assume that they are not suited to your needs without finding out what they actually do! Graduate career fairs are an excellent chance to practice meeting employers so when you get to interview you can shine with confidence.
