Tips
- Check the sponsors to see which companies are attending and decide which companies you most want to speak to.
- Do your research. Company representatives are always impressed when they know you have researched their company beforehand. This will also mean you can ask worthwhile questions that you couldnt find the answers to elsewhere.
- Don't be shy, the company representatives are there to talk to you and to inform you about their company and the opportunities they can provide you. Have some questions ready prepared for the companies you want to speak to.
- Relax and enjoy the night! Gala is an opportunity to meet employers in an informal setting, but do remember you are representing the university at Gala.
