Case study
Job hunting in the UK | An introvert surviving (and winning at) a career fair
As an introvert, I used to see career fairs as a space for extroverts. With my mentor’s advice, I shifted my approach: instead of generally asking about jobs, I focused on fit, prepared my experiences and questions in advance, and always added a follow-up via LinkedIn. Setting a small goal of five meaningful conversations helped me relax and led to real CV requests. I realized introverts aren’t bad at networking — we just do better with purpose and preparation. With the right strategy, career fairs can lead to interviews.
