We invite you to a “Question Time” with a panel of HR Professionals, Employers & Recruiters kindly giving their time to answer your questions. This is a unique opportunity to speak directly to them.
Afterwards, a networking session with Panellists, Careers Springboard Volunteers, Business Coaches and members.
Job Seekers, Graduates and Career Change candidates are all welcome. The composition and background of our panel are described below. We hope you’ll join us for this important event.
Please make every effort to attend, as a good audience always results in the speakers returning. Also, it’s a chance to show them your CV and discuss if they represent an appropriate employer. If you would prefer that a question was asked on your behalf, then just send an email to Andy Low, the Chair for the evening.
