Summary:The Guardian London Graduate Fair from the Careers Group is taking place from 16-17 June at the Business Design Centre in Islington, London (pictured right, nearest tube Angel). The fair offers the chance to meet up to 100 top employers from a range of industry sectors including the Civil Service Fast Stream Programme, Cancer Research UK and the John Lewis Partnership. Visitors can also investigate alternative postgrad options such as volunteering and further study. The Careers Group will be on hand to provide its C2 advice service, which aims to help graduates at all stages of their career. Whether you are looking for a job and don't know how best to promote yourself, or you have no idea what you want to do next, C2 will have experienced and specialised careers advisers at hand. "We are not degree-driven, so the subjects graduates have studied are not necessarily relevant. We are looking for well-rounded individuals who can display confidence and good communication skills on the day," he says.
