Description:

Love them or loathe them, psychometric tests are used by many companies and organizations as a means to work out the suitability of potential employees or other participants. If you haven't already undertaken a psychometric test, the chances are high that you will at some point, and knowing how to succeed in psychometric testing is your ticket to moving ahead in your chosen career.

Psychometric t​ests aren't about luck; prior preparation will improve your scores and make it easier to focus on what is being sought after in the testing process. Psychometric tests focus on certain aspects of your knowledge, such as verbal and numerical reasoning, personality traits, and other abilities assessment, such as stamina. To succeed in them, you'll need to do some preparation in advance but there are numerous opportunities for you to practice, so treat this as a positive challenge rather than a potential hurdle in your job hunting. This workshop does exactly that: it aims to provide you with valuable hints and tips on how to succeed, as well as practical examples taken from real-life aptitude tests and psychometric questionnaires.

Getting the most out of a CAREER FAIR
Ms. Christina Dimatati

Whether you know precisely what you want for your future career, whether you are still deciding, or whether you are just starting to think about careers - this is your chance to find out more.  Careers fairs provide you with the chance to meet employers face-to-face, to learn about current vacancies and opportunities available, and to market yourself to prospective employers. However, It can be difficult for students to stand out at Fairs; there are so many people there and it can seem overwhelming. Being prepared is the best way to make a good impression and get noticed.
