About this event

Join us for Inside the Hiring Mind, a dynamic panel featuring employers from across industries, sharing honest and practical insights into what makes applicants shine in a competitive market.

This session goes beyond job descriptions and tick-box criteria. You'll hear directly from professionals who hire, as they share what they actually look for, whether it's confidence, adaptability, communication skills, or something you didn’t expect. What you'll learn:

The top soft skills employers want (and why they matter just as much as your degree)

  • How to make a strong first impression
  • What to say, and what not to, when approaching employers
  • Real advice you can use right away at the Expo

Meet the Panel:

  • Jodie Shaw – Weatherbys
  • Bob Edwards – GXO Logistics
  • Charles Haynes – Ziggurat
  • Tanpreet Bhachu – Waterstones

This is your chance to hear directly from those making hiring decisions, and walk away with a clearer, sharper understanding of how to stand out.

Make your move with confidence. Book your place now! This event is for UON Students Only
