First impressions important for Sydney graduates attending career expos

Networking at career expos may help graduates land a great first job.

The Sydney Morning Herald Higher School Certificate and Careers Expo will be held in the first week of June, giving school-leavers the opportunity to network and talk to companies.

According to the University of Newcastle, the number of people who hold a bachelors degree have a lower unemployment rate than people who are not tertiary-qualified.

Graduates may wish to consider tailoring their resume and carrying a few copies to present to companies that they are interested in to make an impression and build contacts.

A number of seminars will also be held throughout the day, aiming to provide information on career choices, study advice and pathways for graduates.

Government, private and international companies will be available to answer questions for graduates during the three day event.

Contacting your Sydney printing services in the lead-up to the event may be beneficial to make that first impression count.

ABC News reported that graduates who had printed materials - such as tailored resumes and business cards - stood out at career expos.

Students planning to event the event may want to consider bringing business cards featuring their contact details to ensure that they make a memorable impression to prospective companies that they are targeting.
