Attending a Careers Fair is a great way for job seekers to explore different career opportunities, and network with potential employers. Careers Fairs can be invaluable to job seekers in building relationships, learning more about different companies, and presenting themselves professionally. This article will provide tips and advice on how to successfully prepare for, and make the most out of attending a Careers Fair.
A Careers Fair is a great opportunity for job seekers to explore potential job opportunities and meet potential recruiters representing local, national and sometimes international companies from across different industries. Careers Fairs provide an efficient, straightforward way to learn more about different roles for career seekers, while allowing employers to meet a variety of job seekers. It is important to come prepared and make the right impression while at a Careers Fair.
The benefits of attending a Careers Fair for a job seeker are numerous. Job seekers can immediately learn about different opportunities available, network with recruiters to learn more about the company, and present themselves professionally. Additionally, it is a great way to get a ‘foot in the door,’ and it can even lead to instant job offers for the right candidate. In preparation for attending a Careers Fair, there are certain steps that job seekers should take, which will be discussed below.
Before attending a Careers Fair, job seekers should take the necessary steps to ensure that they can make the most of their time. One of the most important steps is researching the companies that will be attending the Fair. Taking the time to research different companies will help make the Career Fair a successful event for job seekers. Some examples of important questions to research include: who is the company, what do they do, and what kind of roles do they offer.
Another important way to prepare for a Careers Fair is to bring printed materials such as a resume, business cards, and a potential cover letter to leave with potential recruiters. This is an important step since it will give job seekers the chance to leave a tangible piece of evidence with recruiters, as well as reiterate their interest in the potential opportunity. This may also give recruiters an opportunity to contact them in the future when another opportunity may arise.
While attending a Careers Fair it is important for job seekers to present themselves professionally. It is strongly recommended that someone attending a Careers Fair dress professionally, such as in a suit and tie, for men, or a nice dress or skirt for women. Additionally, enthusiasm should be conveyed when talking to potential recruiters, as well as when expressing interest in the potential role and company. Asking questions related to the company or job is a great way to demonstrate interest and knowledge.
After the Careers Fair, job seekers should follow-up on all connections made during the Fair, and make sure to make the right impression. Sending an email to the recruiter is recommended, and it is important to note that expressing gratitude for the opportunity is always important. Networks created during the Careers Fair should be maintained, and the connections should be nurtured over time.
Attending a Careers Fair is an invaluable experience for job seekers. This article highlighted some tips for successful preparation and participation in a Careers Fair. First and foremost, it is important that job seekers complete their preparation by researching the companies attending, and bring the necessary printed materials. During the Careers Fair, it is important to dress professionally, show enthusiasm and ask appropriate questions. After the Careers Fair, job seekers should use the connections formed to follow up with emails or other correspondence, and nurture these connections over time. In conclusion, following these steps will maximize the benefits and ensure a successful Careers Fair experience.

On 1st January 2014 the Child and Family Agency became an independent legal entity, comprising HSE Children and Family Services, the Family Support Agency and the National Educational Welfare Board as well as incorporating some psychological services and a range of services responding to domestic, sexual and gender-based violence.
The Child and Family Agency is now the dedicated State agency responsible for improving wellbeing and outcomes for children. It represents the most comprehensive reform of child protection, early intervention and family support services ever undertaken in Ireland.
The Agency operates under the Child and Family Agency Act 2013, a progressive piece of legislation with children at its heart and families viewed as the foundation of a strong healthy community where children can flourish. Partnership and co-operation in the delivery of seamless services to children and families are also central to the Act.
The establishment of the Agency represents an opportunity to think differently, where appropriate to behave differently and to seek a wide range of views regarding the most effective way of working together to deliver a wide range of services for children and families. An approach which is responsive, inclusive and outward looking.
There are over 5,000 staff working in the Agency.
Prior to establishment date, widespread consultation with stakeholders sought to capture the hopes, and indeed fears, regarding the new Child and Family Agency. Many held the view that a mere realignment of services and the amalgamation of a number of bodies would not be enough to deliver on the fresh start called for throughout the sector. It was felt that what was required was a new identity which captured a new sense of purpose shared by all those who together will deliver children and family services going forward.
Consideration was given to the aspirations for the agency and many themes emerged – a new beginning, an opportunity, a challenge. From debate and conjecture, the name Tusla emerged as a fitting logo for the Child and Family Agency. While the word borrows from the Irish words ‘tús’ + ‘lá’, Tusla is a completely new word reflecting a shared desire for a new beginning, forging a new identity. A new word, a new way of working.
The Child and Family Agency’s services include a range of universal and targeted services:
Their remit
Under the Child and Family Act 2013 the Child and Family Agency is charged with:
Supporting and promoting the development, welfare and protection of children, and the effective functioning of families;
