?? Post Job Show Tips - Stay on Top!

That's a wrap for the Job Shows in 2024!

Although the shows may be over for the year, that doesn't mean your journey is!

Whether you attended the event seeking fresh career opportunities or are aiming to enhance your professional skills, we’re here to help you make the most of it.

What you do after the show is just as important as what you do at the show for an abundance of reasons; whether it is following up with employers, polishing your CV or leveraging connections you made at the show, let’s turn those opportunities into exciting next steps!

1.?Follow Up with Employers ??

Don’t let the momentum slip! Reach out to recruiters and employers you met across the 2 days. A polite email or LinkedIn message expressing your appreciation and reiterating your interest can go a long way. It shows initiative and keeps you fresh in their minds.

2.?Polish Your Applications ??

If you didn't get chance to apply at the show, but have been intrigued by any roles at the event, now’s the time to send in your application! Tailor your CV to the specific roles you’re interested in. Leverage insights from your conversations at the event to strengthen your application.

3.?Update Your LinkedIn ??

Make sure your LinkedIn profile reflects your latest skills, qualifications, and experiences. Add new connections and engage with posts by companies you’re interested in. This helps build your professional network.

4.?Reflect and Refine ??

Take a moment to reflect on the show and on the feedback from the exhibitors. Whether it be from the direct conversations you had or from the seminars you attended, there is always information to take away with you!

What went well? What would you do differently? Do you need to develop any new skills? These insights will help you in future career events and applications.

5.?Stay in the Loop ??

If you’re still exploring opportunities, keep an eye out for upcoming job shows that will be taking place in 2025! Staying engaged with these shows will broaden your network and increase your chances of finding the perfect role.

As you move forward from the London Job Show, remember that the connections and insights you gained are just the beginning.

Stay proactive, follow up with potential employers, and continue refining your skills and CV. Success in your job search is all about persistence and seizing the right opportunities.

Good luck, and here’s to your next great career move!
