About the Jobs Fair
The Colchester Jobs Fair is located at Colchester Town Hall, High St, Colchester, CO1 1PJ.
The event attracts a mixture of different employers from various industries, all recruiting for local jobs.
The Colchester Job Fair is a great way to speak with potential employers face-to-face. You can apply for jobs, collect information on employers, ask them questions in-person, and even have a mini interview on the day.
Important: You must have the permanent right to work in the UK to attend this Job Fair. No sponsorship opportunities available.
Top tips:
Make sure you chat with every exhibitor at the Jobs Fair! You never know what opportunities they might have. Don’t just glance at their banners and assume they’re not for you — take a moment to say hello and find out more!
-
Dress to impress - give employers a great and lasting first impression
-
Don’t judge a book by it's cover - Many employers, past and present at our Job Fairs, have varying roles. Make the most of your opportunity to speak with them and find out all they have to offer.
-
Speak to all the exhibitors - showcase yourself to all the employers at the event. It’s the best way to utilise your time and maximise your chances of success
-
Bring a CV if you can - but it’s not essential. If you've had a positive chat with an employer, it is a great way to finish off the conversation. If you don't have an up-to-date CV, most employers will have application forms or alternative ways of applying for their vacancies.
-
Check the “Job Boards” - There will be 4-6 Job Boards dotted around every fair that display local and exhibitor vacancies. Exhibitor vacancies will be displayed with details on how to apply.
-
Bring your mobile phone - You can take photos of jobs on the Job Boards, send your CV to employers electronically and take down an employers contact details. You can also visit their website and apply online, as well as at the event.
-
Try something new - the Jobs Fair events are not just simply “Job” Fairs. There are training courses, apprenticeships, voluntary roles, self-employment opportunities and career advice too. If you are looking to learn new skills, gain work experience, or set up your own business, the Jobs Fair is suitable for you.
-
Use LinkedIn - Follow up with employers and connect with them on LinkedIn. It is a great way to pick up your conversation at the event where it left off.
