Benefits of visiting
Network with hiring managers and recruitment agencies
This face-to-face interaction allows you to build valuable connections, gain insights into current industry trends, and make a lasting impression. The Veteran UK EXPO creates an environment where you can discuss potential job openings, learn about different employers, and access expert advice from recruiters who specialise in your field.
Discover roles not available online
By attending the Veteran UK EXPO, you can access exclusive, unlisted vacancies, providing you with a competitive edge in your job search. This gives you the chance to apply for positions that may never be advertised online, increasing your chances of landing your next role.
Gain an understanding of companies exhibiting, and talk to recruiters on a one-to-one basis
Interact directly with representatives from companies that are actively seeking ex-military professionals. This is an excellent opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of these organisations, their work culture, and the types of roles they offer. By having one-on-one conversations with recruiters, you can ask specific questions about the company's requirements, the projects they’re working on, and what they look for in candidates.
Attend speaker sessions to hear directly from employers within your sector
These sessions offer invaluable insights into the current job market, trends in security clearance, and advice on career progression. Listening to first-hand accounts from top employers provides you with a deeper understanding of what’s required to succeed in the industry. You can also gain knowledge on skills development, security clearance processes, and potential career paths.
