The recruitment event is open to all those seeking job opportunities whether they are commencing their careers or are experienced professionals or are seeking a career change. Jobseekers are encouraged to take advantage of the chance to meet face-to-face with hiring managers, submit their CV’s, and learn about wealth of career opportunities across various industries. Attendees can also have their CVs reviewed at the one-to-one CV clinics being held at the event.
