Attending one of The UK Careers Fair’s events is a fantastic opportunity to learn more about potential employers and the various roles and opportunities on offer, explore different industries and to make some valuable connections. Asking the right sort of questions while you are there can definitely help you stand out and get a clearer picture of exactly what each company can offer you so here are six insightful and interesting questions to consider.

  1. ‘What skills and qualities will you be looking for in candidates for this particular role?’ This demonstrates how eager you are to gain understanding regarding what it takes to succeed in the position and it can also help you assess if it is a good match for you.
  2. ‘What would a typical career path look like for someone starting out in this role?’ This question helps you to understand potential growth opportunities within the company.
  3. ‘What is the culture of the company like?’ Learning about a working environment can help you determine if you would enjoy working there and shows that you are considering more than just the job description.
  4. ‘What training and development opportunities are offered to new employees?’ Employers value those candidates who are interested in continuous learning and professional development. This question shows you are thinking seriously about your long term career goals.
  5. ‘How is diversity and inclusion supported within the company?’ This type of question proves that you care about the workplace environment and the values held there, which is becoming increasingly important for many employers.
  6. ‘What do you (directed to the employer) enjoy the most about working for the company?’ Asking this question makes the conversation more personal and can give you a clear perspective into what employees value about the company.

Asking thoughtful and relevant questions to employers who are exhibiting at a careers fair will not only provide you with valuable information but will also demonstrate your genuine interest and enthusiasm for the role and the company. Asking questions is a key part of making the most of the experience and is an essential strategy which can leave a lasting impression on a potential employer, proving that you are fully engaged, proactive and most importantly, serious about your future career.
