NWU Career Centre: Services to students

Career Fairs

The importance of attending the career fair cannot be overstated. It provides students with the chance to:

•  network with potential employers and contacts for the future;
•  learn more about companies and organisations;
•  become aware of careers and potential employment opportunities;
•  explore careers associated with your studies, different fields and career paths;
•  receive advice on what employers are looking for;
•  learn about current internships; and
• gain valuable interview experience and job search advice and even obtain an interview.

Much of the job search process is not done in person – the career fair gives you the advantage to meet employers face-to-face (nothing replaces personal contact for making an impression).
