Students: We understand how sending off CV after CV to companies can be disheartening, so this event will give you an opportunity to meet potential employers face-to-face, giving you an added advantage over all other candidates. It will be a chance for you to showcase your portfolio, discuss your degrees, experience and win a further interview and a job.

 

** Appointments are not made pre-event and the day works on a drop-in basis. Queues may occur at the event so it is advisable you leave yourself plenty of time to meet all recruiters **

 

Please remember to bring: copies of your CVs and portfolios.

 


The Surgery is a live series of presentations and talks presented by people working in the industry designed to guide, advise and help personally develop your career in fashion.

Throughout the day, companies will be invited into The Surgery to run individual flash presentations on different sectors of the fashion industry.
