From the President of AGCAS– the Association of Graduate Careers Advisory Services
Welcome to the Scottish Graduate Fair 2019. This fair is designed to help you think about your future. Regardless of your year of study or whether you have already graduated, the Scottish Graduate Fair is a great opportunity to meet potential employers who are eager to talk to and recruit students/graduates like you. Before visiting the employer stands in the exhibition hall, I recommend that you read the following pages of this guide to help you:
• decide which employers interest you most;• think about the questions you’d like to ask them;• reflect on what you have to offer a potential employer; • consider what you want each employer to know about you.
This type of preparation will ensure that you get the most out of your time at the fair.
You will also have the opportunity today to access other sources of careers information and advice: university careers services from across Scotland are represented at the fair. Qualified careers professionals are on-hand to help with your career planning, provide support with applications and CVs and to tell you more about the huge range of careers and employability support services available at your own university.
AGCAS, the Association of Graduate Careers Advisory Services, is here too. We are the expert membership organisation for higher education student career development and graduate employment professionals. Through our members, we support the best possible career outcomes from higher education of individuals, institutions, society and the economy. We aim to provide high-quality training, resources and other services to help keep our members well-informed about developments in the graduate labour market so that they can offer you the most up-to-date careers information, advice and guidance.
As well as organising events like this one, AGCAS researches and writes a wealth of careers information material to help you plan your future. You will be able to see examples on the AGCAS stand today and you can access it all online via Prospects (www.prospects.ac.uk) and on our own website (www.agcas.org.uk).
I hope you enjoy the fair and that it helps you on your journey towards a satisfying and rewarding career. Good luck for the future!
Dr Bob GilworthAGCAS President Director of The Careers Group, University of London

Making the most of the fairStudents of earlier yearsLooking for work experience? Many exhibitors offer internships, placements or Insight Days, including increasing numbers target at first and second years. They are really keen to attract early years students to apply for them.
Taking up these opportunities enhance your CV, gives you an insight into an organisation and helps you decide if you want to join them after graduation. Competition for places is strong so:
• Check out the exhibitors’ websites and the opportunities on your Careers Service website• Know what you want and what you can offer• Introduce yourself positively and ask sensible questions• Attend employer presentations, networking events and other campus events
Finalists/PostgraduatesThe Fair is a great opportunity to plan ahead in your job search. Use the event to:
• Learn how many vacancies do NOT require specific degree disciplines but are open to all• Talk directly to employers to get an insight into their organisation and selection criteria, discovering more
than you can get from their website• Get advice from the experts on how to improve your jobs search techniques. • Meet representatives of several universities to find out about further study.
At this early stage in the year, employers will not be interviewing you for their vacancies (that comes later in the selection procedure), but research done now will save you time and effort later. It also allows you to refer to information picked up at the Fair in any future interview, demonstrating you have properly researched the company.
Your Careers Service is in regular contact with a wide range of employers. Check with them for other first semester activities which they might be organising to help you plan ahead:
• Attend employer presentations on campus• Go to relevant careers information events/fairs• Access the thousands of vacancies on your University’s Careers Service Website
GraduatesTo get the most out of the Fair, you need to be organised and well prepared. Be realistic. No matter how brilliant you are, no-one is going to offer you a job on the spot. Organisations use the Fair to raise their profile and identify suitable candidates for their vacancies. Those that impress may receive invitations to attend follow up recruitment events with individual employers. To make the right impression, you should:
• Be clear what type of work you are looking for and why you would be good at it• Use this brochure to find out which employers have relevant vacancies• Research the employers that interest you BEFORE attending the Fair, so you can impress them with
your awareness. Use your University Careers Service website, employer websites and brochures• Ask questions about information you can’t find on their website.
The Fair will be busy so you will only have a short time to make an impact. Asking vague questions or being unclear about your career interests will not entice employers to hire you.
You can take copies of your CV if it is impressive, to give to employers, but be aware that most recruitment is online. So concentrate on impressing exhibitors with your knowledge of their company and your enthusiasm for their opportunities. Show them why they shouldn’t forget you!

Notes for international job seekers It helps to know what to expect at a UK graduate recruitment fair as it may be different from fairs overseas. The purpose of these events in the UK is for employers to raise awareness of graduate opportunities. They are not “hiring fairs” and you will not be interviewed for jobs on the day. Employers are happy to answer your questions but they expect you to submit an application, or a CV, at a later date and to go through their selection process, involving interviews and possibly psychometric tests and assessment centres. Your Careers Service can help to prepare for all these stages of the selection process and in the meantime you should do everything you can to develop your verbal and written English language skills, and make sure you CV is appropriate for the UK graduate market.
We advise all jobseekers to ask questions that show your genuine interest in the company and the jobs on offer. Make sure you have read the information on the company website, check that you meet their essential criteria and that they will accept applications from international applicants.
Learn about the schemes under which you can apply for employment in the UK BEFORE you go to the fair so that you are ready to explain these options if an employer asks. These options are explained on the website www.ukcisa.org.uk.
