Careers Fairs
How it works at DG
We will be attending careers fairs to tell you all about our careers programme and to meet with students. We, and other firms, will often bring Trainees with us to meet students so you can ask them questions and advice.
Why bother?
Although a careers fair may not sound like the most fun way to spend your time you may be surprised by how much you can learn and find out by attending one. It is a great opportunity to meet recruiters and market yourself as keen and enthusiastic. It is worth bearing in mind that sometimes firms take notes on ‘good students’ so it is important to make a good impression.
It is a chance for you to find out more about the firm, placements, training contracts and tips on the application process for later on.
Our advice
Research firms who are going and make notes on those of particular interest to you – find those first on the day so you don’t waste time looking at firms that aren’t suitable for you.
Dress smartly to look the part and ask questions in a confident manner – remember there is no such thing as a stupid question.
