Questions employers may ask you<br />

While interviews will not be carried out at the fair, the company<br />

representatives may ask you a number of questions. You must be<br />

prepared to talk about yourself, your interests and your goals.<br />

• Why are you attending the <strong>Curtin</strong> Careers Fair?<br />

• What attracted you to study this degree?<br />

their organisations.<br />

employers and all the information associated with the employment<br />
