Come prepared!

During Elevate, businesses invest in attending the event to meet students as they see you as future talent and colleagues. That's why it's important to be prepared and make the most of this opportunity. By being prepared, you'll give yourself the best chance to impress future employers and boost your career opportunities.

Network and ask questions

During Elevate, it's all about showing off. Dare to approach exhibitors and introduce yourself – give them an idea of who you are. If you show commitment and curiosity, you create a positive image of yourself as a potential colleague. Remember that you are competing with your classmates to secure the best jobs. Often, companies are looking for those who fit in well with their team rather than those with the most qualifications. Show that you are that person!

It is also important to research which companies are right for you. Therefore, prepare some questions you would like to have answered so that you can ask them during the event.

LinkedIn and contacts

Build long-term relationships with the companies you meet. Feel free to ask if you can add them on LinkedIn or take their email address to continue the dialogue even after the event. A strong network can open many doors for you in the future.

Prepare your CV

Having a completed CV ready to hand out during Elevate shows commitment and professionalism. If you make good contact with a business, being able to hand over your CV quickly can be crucial. Make sure it is updated and ready to be sent if the opportunity arises.
