Go Train held a Jobs Fair at our office in the Black Country in partnership with Serco UK
“I found this event really useful, someone I know attended this morning and told me how good it was. I must admit, I did feel really nervous about coming but everyone has made me feel so welcome, like a real person who mattered. Everyone has been really positive, not like some Jobs Fairs I have attended previously.
I have met Andy from Britannia Cleaning and looks like he may have a suitable cleaning job for me in Tipton where the hours are flexible to fit around my 2 children” – Alison Taylor
“I have just completed a First Aid course relating to domestic violence as I want to work helping women who need support to get their lives back on track. I have made several job applications today including the Working from Home opportunity and the coaching job with Go Train.
Although Workpays told me to attend, I was feeling nervous but felt so welcomed as soon I walked into the room by all the friendly staff, here to help me. I have really enjoyed the interaction with Serco staff who have been so encouraging and reassuring, giving me guidance on what type of roles I can apply for. They have made me feel more empowered” – Aliko Wilcox
“… Between me and my colleague we have spoken to over 20 participants and there are at least 6 or 7 people we hope to be able to help into employment.
I do a lot of large Jobs Fair events at sporting venues such as The Molineux and Villa Park where there is a payment to exhibit. I have preferred the way today’s event has been organised and set out as it has given us the chance to sit down and really speak to the attendees. I have already emailed the participants we are interested in, requesting their CV’s and my next steps will be to arrange their interviews” – Cambian Group – Sam Chambers, Regional Recruiter
Congratulations to all attendees who have had an interview and secured a job!
