There's still time to visit MK Job Show at Middleton Hall in centre:mk tomorrow (Saturday 9th).
Over 60 organisations are taking part across today and tomorrow, including sponsors, Silverstone, BP Pulse, British Transport Police, Lockheed Martin, Milton Keynes University Hospital, NHS Foundation Trust, Network Rail, Santander, Escapade and the main sponsor, the University of Bedfordshire.
Attendees will have the chance to meet with over 60 top employers in a range of industries and sectors, attend informative seminars and workshops, receive CV and interview advice from experts in their field, and even apply for jobs directly.
Mike Bickerdike, Founder of MK Job Show commented: “This year’s MK Job Show is the perfect opportunity for those, young or old, who are wanting to change the direction of their career pathways. There has never been a better time to change career paths due to the ever-increasing cost of living and the amount of local job vacancies available to explore.
Attendees will get the opportunity to introduce themselves first-hand to their potential new employer, so we strongly advise everyone to bring along copies of their CV, business cards and utilise the event to the best of their ability.”
Nicola Marfleet, aged 46, has been the governor at HMP Woodhill for the last seven years. She joined the service as a prison officer 22 years ago before working her way up the ranks. She is now responsible for the establishment and its hundreds of staff and prisoners.
She says: “We’re thrilled to be attending this year’s MK Job Show and look forward to meeting members of the public and potentially finding some fantastic candidates for the prison officer and operational support grade roles we have available at HMP Woodhill.
“Working in the prison service can be challenging, but it’s also rewarding, and there’s no shortage of support and guidance available. If you are a good listener and someone with ‘grit’ and determination, you’d be a great fit for our team.
“Prison staff often don’t get the chance to shout about the amazing work that they are doing whether it’s on the wings, in the gym or as dog handlers. So this is a great opportunity to introduce ourselves to our local community, and potentially find new recruits for the team.”
