What are exhibitor booths? Each booth will give you more information about the chambers or association, point you to the opportunities available and give you an idea of what to talk about.

If you want to chat to an exhibitor, click the chat button, choose your topic and leave your message. A representative from the company will get back to you.

Who will I be able to speak to? There will be members from the recruitment teams of all exhibitors and some may even have barristers or senior members of staff who you’ll be able to put your questions to!

How do I “chat” to an exhibitor? When you go into an exhibitor booth you will see a green “chat” button on the right hand side. Once you’ve pressed this, you will be directed to discussion topics. Click the “chat” button below the topic that most aligns with your query. You can leave a message for the company and they will reply either in the chat box or via a face-to-face call. Once you’ve left a message, you will receive a notification – so keep an eye on your message box on the top right-hand side of the screen.

Can I get some advice on how to 'virtually network'? Last month we hosted a webinar: Online careers fairs - what are they and how can graduates prepare for them?

In this webinar we discussed what students can expect from online careers fairs and the best ways to prepare for them. We also talked about some of the potential pitfalls of attending a virtual fair versus one in person, covered some more niche tips for international students and looked at how not to sound ‘creepy’ when following up on LinkedIn.
