It was a antasticopportunity to learn about thegraduate programmes companieshave and to nd out who they arelooking to recruit. Interestingly,at the careers air I could askcompany representatives aboutthe type o questions I could beasked later at my job interviews.
I took a number o one-to-onesessionswithCassscareersadvisers to polish my CV. I alsoattended presentations andinterview skills sessions at Cassand read presentations on howto write covering letters onthe Cass careers website.
I took one-to-one sessionsto improve my interview skillsand to learn to identiy my weakpoints, which may be visible tointerviewers, so I could workon improving them.
These sessions were really helpul.I took a lot o them because therewas a lot o work to be done.I must coness that I evolved into adiferent personality at Cass as myoverall attitude to the recruitmentprocess changed.
