Job Club Diary No1 Events in the Hinterland

Diary creation for a job club is a patchwork of internal and external events. Internal events are special happenings at the regular weekly meetings - say, a speaker on a specialist topic. Outside events are quite different! Literally the sky is the limit but for now we have our feet firmly grounded.

A search has given our members much to do. Mention was made previously of the joint HMRC and HSE event in Swanley. Just recently at a meeting a jobs fair was bought to my attention. Back home I googled and found two more job fairs within reasonable distance of travel.

We now have a fairly full diary of business-to-business shows, business-to-consumer exhibitions, job fairs, and trade exhibitions. "WHY?"

The answer to the "WHY?" may lie a marketing approach when attending a meeting such as a job fair or trade show. The formulation of a personal or business promotion based on networking to convey specific messages to targeted audiences, ie individuals or businesses. Hopefully the result will be an invitation to a job interview or an opportunity to bid for business.
