This was a really valuable experience for me, as I learnt about the vast amount of tech jobs in the creative industries, and the different kinds of employers of these jobs.
I talked to many different companies such as Jet2 Careers, Morrisons, JigTalk, Digital Skills HQ and Branded3. Even though some of them didn't necessarily have any careers that I could go directly into, it was still really interesting talking to these people and hearing their words of encouragement and tips on getting into the industry after I graduate.
It amazed me how friendly everybody I talked to was, and how enthusiastic they were about talking to me and the opportunities they have on offer as well. this has definitely given me a lot of confidence about going to other events and in talking to people and introducing myself. I think my experience of going to Career Track Tuesdays quite often has had an impact on how I approached this event with a clear mindset and not to necessarily find a job but just to engage with people and talk to them, which really gave me a lot of confidence for finding a job once I graduate.
As a result of going to this jobs fair I have one job I am considering applying to which I wouldn't of realised existed if I hadn't of gone to this event.
The branding and way finding for this event really impressed me as well, as it was really clean and contemporary, yet still used a rainbow of different colours and was really clear and interactive on where to go.

| Jet2 Careers freebies were amazing, super impressed by the plane shaped sweets. It shows how the simple, fun freebies can make you really remember an employer (or potential employee for that matter). this has definitely made me think about my own personal branding and how I can make it more memorable. |
