The University of Aberdeen's Student Employment Service; Joblink, will host a student Recruitment Fayre tomorrow (Wednesday, April 23). Attending the fayre will be leading employers from across the North-east of Scotland and hundreds of students. The fayre is being held on campus in the Elphinstone Hall.
First held in 1998 the Recruitment Fayres have become well established in Aberdeen and are now organised twice yearly. Entering its 6th year, the first Recruitment Fayre of 2003 is expected to break all previous attendance records having relocated from the Joblink office to the University's Old Aberdeen Campus, a measure designed to provide the students with a greater level of access and service.
Joblink Officer, Catherine Jandzio commented: "The Recruitment Fayre will save students a vast amount of time and money in their search for employment, cutting telephone calls, postage, travel costs and time spent searching for vacancies. Other benefits students receive from the Joblink service include guidance on balancing work with study, writing CVs and interview skills. In turn, employers will save valuable time and costs spent in their recruitment activities. Employers will also benefit from the calibre of applicants they will be meeting."
Elphinstone Hall will open its doors to the fayre at 11am for students. Queues are to be expected as previous Recruitment Fayres have shown and the fayre will remain open until 4pm.
Joblink has a commitment to meeting customer (students and employers) requirements within the overall aim of alleviating student financial hardship by improving access to, and the quality of, part time and vacation employment.
