Engin Careers Event 16 & 17 March
8 March 2010
The School of Engineering and the Careers Service are running a small (but essential!) Careers in Engineering event on Tuesday 16 and Wednesday 17 March.
This event, organised as part of National Science & Engineering week offers you a chance to chat informally to a small selection of student and graduate recruiters 'Employers in the Trevithick Foyer' who have placements/jobs that may suit you and who also have a wealth of information and advice to help you in finding and getting a job.
Attend Employer Talks (SR1&2 Trevithick) and get a clear understanding of what employers look for during the recruitment process and how you can ensure that you are successful. These sessions are extremely worthwhile and I encourage you to book and attend one or all of them:-
