- Think of questions to ask
- Dress smartly (but you don’t need a suit!)

- Be flexible and open minded
- Be confident – talk to employers!
- Be prepared to shake hands. Smile and make eye contact!
- Prepare your 30 second verbal CV: “Hello I’m Jo Smith. I'm studying Law and aiming for an Upper Second. I’ve a strong interest in retail management as I’ve had several part-time retail jobs and enjoyed the fast moving environment …”
- Ask questions
What should I ask about?
- The work – what do graduates actually do?
- The workplace – where would you be working?
- Skills, experience and personal qualities - what are they looking for?
- Training and development
- Their industry and their business
- Career development
- Using your specific skills and experience
- “How was it for you?”
