Researchers at Oxford University's Careers Fairs

Research Staff and DPhil students at Oxford University: The Michaelmas term careers fairs are open to you too!

Chatting to recruiters in person is a great way to gain insights into a company and its roles. And while it’s true that many companies who attend our careers fairs will be promoting their entry-level graduate training schemes, that doesn’t mean that they can’t also talk to you about other opportunities within their organisations. So, have a look at the list of organisations who’ve signed up to attend each fair, identify those which interest you most, and then come to see them on the day. If you can’t attend the fair, contact the company to set up an alternative time to talk to them.

Anyone with a CareerConnect account can register for the fairs and pre-fair sessions. Oxford researchers who do not have a CareerConnect account, will first have to register for the platform.
