The Cooperative Education & Careers Division is organising a major on-campus Careers Fair on
Thursday 13 October 2011. The Fair will take place in the Sports Arena and will be open to students from 12.00pm. until 4.00pm. All sectors of employment will be represented so there should be something of interest to students of all disciplines.
What's it all about?
For those of you who have never attended a Careers Fair (or Recruitment Fair), this provides you with a unique opportunity to meet with a number of employers who plan to recruit graduates in the year
2012. Some of these employers will also have immediate vacancies to fill. Representatives of these companies will describe their organisation and typical vacancies with a view to encouraging you to apply when vacancies arise.
What companies will attend?
We will have more than 100 organisations participating in the Fair. This will include large and small companies, local, national and international companies, across all disciplines. What they have in common is an interest in meeting students who may be potential employees in the year
2012.
This year's event will include some additional features such as a Volunteering zone, a Teaching zone, and a Postgraduate Study zone, in addition to the regular graduate employers.
The Careers Fair gives you the opportunity to
To make the best of this opportunity you will need to be prepared. Few employers will offer you a job on the spot but if you make the right impression this will be to your advantage at the interview stage. Here are some tips to help you on the day:
The UL Careers Fair is an ideal opportunity to make contact with a significant number of employers who have real jobs to offer. By preparing for the event, you stand a better chance of using the time and opportunity effectively. Know what you want from the fair; know what you have to offer, and be prepared to consider everything. This is your chance to make some useful contacts and see what opportunities are out there... SO DON'T MISS OUT!

Wednesday 8 February 2012, EGO10, 12-3pm
The Cooperative Education & Careers Division, University of Limerick, is organising a Postgraduate Study Fair on Wednesday 8 February 2012. The fair will take place in EGO10 (the Examination Hall) in the main building. Opening hours will be from 12.00pm until 3.00pm. This event will be open to all students and graduates who are interested in finding out about postgraduate study opportunities in Ireland.
The Postgraduate Study Fair will be similar to the Careers Fair which was held in October. The objective is to provide students with relevant and up do date information on the range of postgraduate study opportunities available in Ireland. As one in four graduates continues on into some form of postgraduate study, this Fair will provide an ideal opportunity to research all the options. Specialist staff from all the Irish Universities, a number of the Institutes of Technology, Research Centres and other institutions will be available to answer questions on a range of issues including: selection procedures, application process, financial support, course content, employment prospects, etc. It will be a very informal atmosphere with plenty of opportunities for individual consultation with the experts.
We expect to have about 40 exhibition stands covering the main postgraduate study and research opportunities in Ireland. UL will be very well represented as each College will have an individual stand with information on research and taught postgraduate study options. The Admissions Office will also be represented.

Wednesday 7 March 2012, EGO10, 12-3pm
This is a special careers event which is designed for Education students, and others interested in teaching opportunities. The Careers Service is organising a Teaching Fair on campus on Wednesday 7 March 2012 in EGO10 between 12.00 and 3.00pm. The idea is to provide final-year and postgraduate Education students with information on some of the teaching opportunities that will be available on graduation. We have extended the range of organisations participating in the 2012 event to include some summer teaching jobs in addition to the school-based opportunities. We expect to have about 25 organisations attending the Fair, representing schools, education support services, teacher recruitment organisations in Ireland, UK and some international schools. Representatives from these organisations will be available to meet with students and to advise them on what kind of jobs will be available and how to apply for vacancies. Some of the organisations will accept CVs on the day and will schedule interviews for the following day. This event is open to students from all disciplines and all years of study.
