    Why should I come?

    The UWA Casual Careers Fair is an excellent opportunity to meet employers and secure casual and part-time career opportunities.

    How can I prepare for the fair?

    All participants are encouraged to network and take advantage of the 3-hour session to learn more about the casual opportunities and the application process. To prepare for the event, below is a list of tips to help any applicant stand out:

    • Bring your resume. Physical copies are useful for employers hiring on-the-spot.
    • This is a recruitment event and an opportunity for you to network with industry contacts--present yourself well by dressing appropriately.
    • Take advantage of the career resources on ​CareerLab to polish up on your resume and interview skills
    • Prepare questions you would like to ask employers regarding pay and working arrangements. For more information about your rights, you may refer to the Fair Work website
    • UWA students needing help with their resume can visit the Careers Drop-in desk at Student Central to chat with a Careers Adviser. The drop-in desk is located at Counter 3, Student Central and is open Mon-Fri from 9:30am – 12:30pm.

    ___________________________________________

    Some questions to ask and questions to avoid:

    Ask:

    • What experience do you like applicants to have?
    • What words would you use to describe the company culture?
    • What are your organisations busiest periods?
    • How flexible is the scheduling for this position?
    • Are there opportunities for growth or advancement within the company for casual employees?

    Avoid asking:

    • What does your company do?
    • How much would I earn?
    • Why should I apply?
    • What can you offer me?
    • What's the application close date? - check flyers and the company website before asking
