“It will be a great opportunity for people to get advice, make some contacts and hopefully secure a position to kick-start their career.

“Information can also be found on my website which will continue to be updated in the lead-up to the event – www.joswinson.org.uk/east-dunbartonshire-jobs-fair-2013/.”

Catriona Lindsay, district manager for Jobcentre Plus, said: “Job fairs are a great way for people to get the chance to speak directly to several employers, all under the one roof. The opportunity to speak face to face with someone can be a real advantage.

“Employment advisers and training partners will also be on hand to help people improve their CVs and interview technique, and give information on retraining.
