Making the most of your Jobs Fair

Message from Robert Halfon MP:

“Whilst unemployment has been going down in

Harlow over the past few months, it still remains a

serious problem. That is why I do a lot of work to

encourage apprenticeships and supporting people

to get back into work. I have organised this Jobs Fair

in order to help bring jobs back to Harlow. In

particular, I am grateful for the huge support of

community people like Mike Jackson MBE and Ian Hudson from the Harlow

Chamber of Commerce and particular thanks to Jobcentre Plus and Seetec. I

am delighted to have the generous support of major companies such as

McDonalds, Monster, Asda, Raytheon, McKenzie Arnold, Smiths Industries,

Frontline Printing and more.”

Top tips

Bring your CV along with you on the day with all your contact details

Take a look at what companies will be there and do some background research on

them

Present yourself well on the day, you never know who you might meet

Be approachable

Speak to as many people as you can, including other job seekers

Be confident and ask as many questions as you like

Sign yourself up for the workshops when you arrive

Be positive



Skills Workshops

Throughout the day we will be running a number of skills workshops designed to build

confidence, give advice and answer questions.

Space at these workshops is limited and we will be asking you to sign up for the seminars in

reception when you arrive and throughout the day. If there is a particular workshop that

you are keen to take part in, be sure to arrive early to save your space!

The workshops will be taking place on the first floor; however we ask that you report to the

reception desk in the main hall 10 minutes before your workshop, and we will show you up

to the room.

Thank you and Acknowledgments

Special thanks go to the hard work of Mike Jackson MBE, for his continuous commitment to

help the Harlow Community. Without Mike, the Jobs Fair in Harlow would not have been

able to happen, as he has spent many hours using his experience to make sure this event is

a success.

Ian Hudson, at the Harlow Chamber of Commerce, has dedicated time and effort to the

event and I praise him for his hard work.

Jobcentre Plus have been on board from day one and helped out in every way that they

could. Special thanks go to Ronke Abass, Liz Hand and Jill Rogers.

Frontline Printing, a Harlow based company, printed the leaflets free of charge for this event

and my thanks go to Jason Woolf for accommodating this.

Harlow College have supported this event from the beginning by encouraging their students

to take part in the Fair. Most of the volunteers on the day will be Harlow College Students

who have given up their time to help support this event.

Anglia Ruskin University have sponsored the event and ensured that we had the facilities we

needed to make the event happen.

John Tennison from Smiths Industries has also sponsored the event and continues to

support the Harlow Community as a local company.

Tonia Gosling and Pat Hay at the Leisurezone have kindly allowed us access to their facilities

for the day and we are privileged to be able to use the fantastic state of the art centre.

Cllr Janice Elliot from Bishops Stortford has worked hard to sign up Businesses for the event

and to encourage people to attend as guests.

Khaled Khan from Natwest Harlow has supported the Jobs Fair team with his expertise.
