Meet employers

All the employers attending are recruiting for 2025, so this is your opportunity to sell yourself and ask any questions about the application process before applying.

If you're not in your final year, you can use this as an opportunity to consider where you may want to work after graduation, as some organisations start advertising very early, or even to help get you thinking about your elective placement and where you might like that to be.

Get prepared

You are both representing yourself as a future employee and also NTU, so we recommend you spend some time looking at this page to see who is attending and who you might like to talk to, as well as familiarising yourself with their services by looking at their website, and even preparing some questions in advance.

Bring your CV

We recommend having a few copies of your CV to hand just in case. In previous years some organisations interviewed on the day and students were offered jobs to start in September!
