Fall back, spring forward!
More than just a handy reminder about when to put our clocks back (not until next month!), this phrase can also trigger our less-than-positive feelings about this time of year. With Autumn firmly upon us, bringing with it a drop in temperatures and an abrupt end to the bright evenings, it can be hard to motivate ourselves – or to feel as if we are moving forward at all.
These feelings can be especially detrimental if you are in the middle of jobhunting, but fear not! If you’re looking for a way to freshen up your job search this Autumn, we’ve got you sorted.
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 this Autumn that may help you land your dream job;
