STEM and Health Careers Expo

This event is the perfect opportunity to meet and network with prospective employers and gain some great networking and self-marketing skills. It also gives you the opportunity to:

• Gain first-hand information about an employer, the structure and operation of the organisation, their vacation program, recruitment processes and other employment opportunities
• Mingle with employers (promoting vacation programs and internships), as well as professional association bodies (who can give you insight into ways to progress through the industry of your choice)
• Learn about jobs in aged care you can star now, while you’re studying
• Collect application information and learn how to improve your chances of gaining a position
• Explore career opportunities and work out what you are looking for from an employer
• Make a good first impression before applying for a position

• Register for the expo and be sure to record it in your diary or e-calendar and set a reminder. Do whatever works best for you.
• Review the list of the exhibiting employers prior to the expo. Read their profiles, decide which ones you want to meet and prepare a few questions to ask.
• Attend any workshops before the event that will help you to prepare and make the most of the expo.

• After you talk to each employer write down important information you learned that may be helpful in your application.
• Make a positive first impression. The first thing the employer sees is what you’re wearing. No need for a suit – business casual is the way to go.
• Make the most of the expo by talking to as many exhibitors as possible, including the companies you may not have heard of before.
