Our Employer Showcase is back on Wednesday 1 and Thursday 2 October 2025.
It’s taking place at Bristol Beacon (not Beacon House!), where employers of all sizes and sectors are here for you to talk to throughout the day.
It’s a chance for you to gather insight on potential future employers and ask companies directly what they are looking for in their applicants.
Download the careers fair plus app to stay up to date with details about the event.
Below we’ve complied some of the best questions that everyone can use on the big day. We’ve also got some specific advice for different types of students to make the most of the fair in a way that’s unique to you and whatever stage you’re at of your career journey.
These are just to get you started; the Careers Service will have its own designated zone on the ground floor of Bristol Beacon where you can speak to a friendly careers advisor who can give you a pep-talk before you head upstairs.
Questions that everyone can use
No matter what stage you’re at now, here are a few questions to take with you to the Employer Showcase:
- What sort of experience do you value?
- What is something you like to see on CVs so I can target my application?
- What do you think helped you get your job?
- What is the best/ worst part of your job?
- Can you tell me some day-to-day activities that your graduate role involves?
