For a lot of us, lockdown may have given us time to think about our working life and perhaps brought you to the conclusion that a career is always preferable to a job. Maybe this is the opportunity you finally have at landing, not only the job you’d really like but a full-on career.
Looking for the right career can often be time-consuming and frustrating. The UK CAREERS FAIR will offer candidates from all backgrounds, experience and education level the opportunity to speak to an abundance of local employers, all in one place.
The UK Careers Fair provides the ultimate networking platform for both Candidates & Employers in 50+ locations throughout the UK. Often referred to as a Job Fair, Recruitment Event, or Careers Fair – at a set time and place, companies and career-seekers will meet and try to find out if they’ll match.
At any one of the UK Careers Fairs, there is always a wide variety of organisations exhibiting on the day alongside a wide variety of different roles to suit various skill, experience and educational backgrounds.
The events are open to anyone and everyone and completely free to attend.
The respected philosopher Alan Watts said that the best way to find what you should be doing with your life was to ask yourself this important question: “What would you do if money were no object?” What if you won the lottery and you could do whatever you wanted to do with your life? Sure, you’d want to relax for a while, but eventually you’re going to get bored. So what would you do to make yourself really, truly happy?
- For instance, maybe you enjoy working with children, creating art, or building things.
Break your dream job down into its most basic components. Take whatever activity or job you discovered in the previous step and break it down into its most basic parts. If you were explaining the job to a 3-year-old, how would you describe it?
- If that child asked you what was fun about it or how it made someone feel when they did it, what would you say? These basic components make up what you should be looking for in a career.
