Registered participants will get essential updates to help them prepare and all job seekers who register before February 18 will be entered into a prize draw for the chance to win an iPad Mini.

Joanne Harwood, group category manager at Johnston Press, said: “We previously ran two very successful Virtual Careers Fairs last year. This time we’re running a national fair to include all sectors and businesses so that we are able to offer something for everyone. The fair will help great employers connect to local job seekers who are really committed to finding a new job and vice versa. We wish everyone the best of luck.”
