Graduates and students looking to get a head start on their job search are reminded that the online GradU8 careers fair starts on Monday, 7th November 2011.

Those interested in taking part in this event are able to sign up at gradu8.com, where the fair will also be taking place from 7th-10th November. GradU8 is the leading graduate careers fair of its kind, bringing together young jobseekers with a range of top graduate recruiters.

The aim of the event is to provide accessible, valuable information to graduates and students looking to get a foot on the career ladder. Taking place completely online means that those taking part do not have to travel to a separate venue for the occasion. It is also completely free to register online and a range of events will be taking part over the four-day period.

GradU8 has been organised by totaljobs.com and it offers a virtual meeting space where jobseekers can chat live with those actively involved in graduate recruitment. These young professionals and students will be able to ask important questions to help them get ahead in the graduate recruitment process. For instance, they will be able to ask about the criteria used in selection procedures, what experience employers are looking for and what they can do to get themselves noticed.
