Many of us will be contemplating what we would like to achieve in 2020. What changes do we want? Contemplating on our aims and goals, and where we would like to be at the end of next year.
Our career usually floats around the top of our to-do list. Whether it's changing jobs or moving up, there's always something happening in this area of our life.
Looking ahead, if you’re considering taking the plunge and leaving your current job behind, attending a job fair in 2020 might be the answer.
Benefits of attending a job fair
Talking face-to-face with employers on a mass scale all under one roof is the ideal opportunity for you to familiarise yourself with what is available to you.
Know the current vacancies
You will know which companies are recruiting and the positions they have available so you'll have first hand knowledge as opposed to scouring through recruitment websites.
Not only this but attending a job fair will give you the chance to network in person. We know how influential our social media profiles are and how they can help get us noticed. Likewise, a job fair does exactly the same thing if we utilise the opportunity in the same way.
Networking
Approaching and connecting with recruiters and fellow jobseekers will help build a sense of productivity towards the job hunting process. Being proactive and communicating with recruiters will be the first step of getting your foot in the door.
