GradFest

‼️ First LinkedIn Post! ‼️ A few weeks ago, I had the exciting opportunity to attend Grad Fest, where I connected with representatives from companies like Ryanair, JD Sports, and Computacenter. Speaking with these industry leaders about their sales and marketing strategies, aswell as the opportunities they offer graduates, was incredibly insightful and has only deepened my interest in pursuing a career in these fields. A big thank you to GradFest for organizing such a fantastic event! Connecting with representatives and learning about opportunities in sales and marketing was invaluable. I’m grateful for the insights gained and the connections made—looking forward to more events like this in the future! #firstpost #gradfest #sales #marketing

*Veolia Careers at GradFest - London* Last week, I took part in a fantastic few days joining the #VeoliaUK Early Careers team at GradFest at the ExCel London! Being there as an Engineer on the Graduate Scheme and as a #WomanInSTEM was very rewarding, and it was great to share some examples of innovative projects I work on with all the inquisitive students and graduates. Our stand remained very busy across both days with so many professionals asking to learn about our graduate opportunities and careers. It was really fun to work with the team and support them in presenting Veolia's Graduate Scheme opportunities and the work we do to potentially some of the next Graduates of Veolia! #VeoliaGraduates #WomenInSTEM #Engineering

So last week I was at the Excel London for the GradFest fair! We had speakers such as LinkedIn, Ryanair, Kia Commodore and others, to talk about all things post- grad careers, finances, expanding your skills and more. I really loved this opportunity. It gave me such insight about my future and career and all I can say is I’m definitely exited to what the future holds! You NEED to WANT it. If you want it, go get it!

GradFest, that’s a wrap! It’s been fantastic to lead the activation for our stand at the UK’s largest graduate careers fair 🎓 After months of planning, it was a privilege to connect with so many talented graduates, each bringing fresh perspectives and unique skills. A huge congratulations to everyone who walked away with Stanley Cups, trainers, and more — you earned it. 🏆👟 We’re excited about the future leaders we met and can’t wait to see the incredible impact they’ll make in the industry. If we had a chance to chat, let’s keep the conversation going! Thank you to the best team for your support, you all smashed it. 💛🖤 JD Sports Fashion #TalentAcquisition #GraduateCareers #Networking #CareersFair #FutureLeaders #HiringTopTalent

This week, I attended GradFest at the ExCeL London, where I had the opportunity to engage with several employers and explore potential career opportunities. I had insightful conversations with representatives from Careers at MI5, SIS and GCHQ, DHL, Ryanair, and British Transport Police. These organisations operate in sectors of great interest to me. I also took part in a 1:1 CV review session, which provided useful feedback, and attended a talk on LinkedIn. As graduate schemes are beginning to open for applications, this event has helped me gain a clearer perspective on the available opportunities and the direction I want to pursue in my career. #CareerDevelopment #Networking #GraduateSchemes

🌟 Attending GradFest at ExCeL London was an incredible experience! 🌟 One of the highlights of the event was participating in the LinkedIn Gen Z Masterclass. 🎓✨ This session was eye-opening and provided invaluable insights into optimizing our LinkedIn presence. Here are three key takeaways from the session: 1) Optimize Your Page: Your LinkedIn profile is more than just a resume; it's a personal brand. Make sure it reflects who you are and what you stand for. 2) Be Proactive: Don’t wait for opportunities to come to you. Reach out and utilise your network, connect with new people, and remember—rejection is just redirection. 3) Endorsements and Recommendations: Having endorsements for your skills and recommendations from colleagues can make your profile stand out. They add credibility and showcase your expertise, making you more attractive to potential employers. A huge thank you to Benjamin Wyver and Amy Short who took the time to share their career journeys, your advice has helped me refine and optimise my LinkedIn profile, to better reflect my skills and experience to employers. Excited to implement these new strategies and see where it takes me! #GradFest #LinkedInMasterclass #Networking #CareerGrowth #GenZ #LinkedInTips #PersonalBranding #CareerDevelopment #JobSearch #ProfessionalGrowth #FutureLeaders #ExCeLLondon
