Murdoch University Careers Fair

Careers Fair 2009 - Tuesday, 3 March 2009

Tips for StudentsMurdoch University is once again hosting its annual Careers Fair. The Fair has the potential for your organisation to reach several thousand future employees and clients. The success of last years Fair and the feedback we have received from students and employers who participated has encouraged us to again offer this valuable opportunity to you as an employer.

Events like this open up a wealth of opportunities for students to explore the career options available to them in the Public and Private Sectors while affording them a chance to discuss face to face what employers are looking for during the Graduate Recruitment and employment process. With over 70 disciplines represented at the undergraduate and postgraduate level, there is potential exposure to over 10,000 students on any given day from a very diverse range of fields.

Employer Registrations for 2009 are now closed.
