Share This Post

There’s no denying that jobhunting can be tough.

From dusting the cobwebs off the CV, to Googling what a cover letter should even look like, to then wondering what’s wrong with either of the above, or with you in general, when your applications are met with no response.

Despite all these obstacles, your job search can – and should – also be fun! You’re bravely taking a leap of faith, believing there’s a better fit for you somewhere out there, and are ready to find your next big career venture.

It’s an exciting time of new beginnings, and while a jobhunting journey is likely to leave even the best of us feeling stressed, anxious and a bit self-critical, it should also make us feel passionate, daring, bold, and a bit giddy to see what opportunities await.

One of the most practical ways to inject a bit of fun into your job search is to hit up job fairs and recruitment events in your area. They’re a great way to get out and meet new people, while picking up some career inspiration (and maybe even some freebies!) along the way!

Here are some of the best and biggest events coming up across Ireland that may help you land your dream job;
