What is the Watford Jobs Fair?
“This is the sixth annual Watford Jobs Fair and I think it will be the best yet. Back in 2011 when I organised the first Watford Jobs Fair I I didn’t imagine just how successful it would prove to be. The Watford Jobs Fair has grown to presenting vacancies, offering one-to-one support, interactive trials and workshops. I believe the fairs are a success because they work in the way that they are supposed to – they help people secure jobs. You are very welcome if you are out of work looking for a job, or want to move on from your current place of work. We work with employers after the fair to find out about the number of interviews they have arranged, or how many people they have taken on; and literally hundreds of people have secured employment since 2011 through the fair- many of them on the day! This is why major local employers come back year after year. This year we have a host of new employers attending so even if you have been before, it is well worth coming back for 2017! I look forward to seeing you on the 1st September."
