If you’ve never been to Building The Future before, think of it like a graduate fair, maybe you’ve been to one in your college or university, or like the gradIreland fairs in the RDS. There will be companies hosting stands on the day with their HR staff, so it’s a great way to network and meet with the employers face to face and ask them questions about their opportunities or what it’s like to work in their company.

You might find pictures from last year's event useful to give you a sense of the day. 

Registration opens at 9.30am and we encourage people to arrive early to make the most of the day! 

Last entry to the event is at 12:00pm. 

Citi is ideally located in Dublin city centre which is a short walking distance from all major rail and bus networks.

When you arrive at Citi, you will need to go to the registration desk to sign in. You’ll be given a name badge and a goodie bag which contains a map, an agenda and some of our promotional material with a bottle of water and some snacks. This bag is also useful for collecting and storing any materials you get from the employer stands, especially all the free pens! 

As this is a careers event, where you will be meeting with HR recruitment staff from some of biggest multinational companies in Ireland, dress to impress. This means you should look professional i.e. smart casual or as if you were going to work.

If you have a mock interview, then you should dress like you are going for interview. It also shows the employer that you are serious about looking for work and want to create the right impression.

You are advised to bring several copies your CV along on the day as there are no printing facilities. If you are interested in having your CV examined by one of our employers, register for a slot in the morning. 

We will provide a bottle of water to each attendee on their arrival. This may be refilled using the water fountains available in the Citi Canteen. you will also get a snack bar and a bag of jelly sweets in your goodie bag on arrival. 

If you want to get your CV checked out by an employer, make sure you bring a copy of your CV on the day which you don’t mind getting scribbled on. Go to the CV Clinic on arrival where you will be met with some of the Citi volunteers who will allocate a time to you.

All appointments are for 10 minutes and on a very strict time schedule, so please arrive 5 minutes prior to your appointment, there is a waiting area in the CV Clinic and you will be called to your station by one of our volunteers.

It is also very useful to also have a notepad and pen handy, where you can take notes throughout.

On arrival, we will give you a bingo card with different actions in each box. You use this to go up to employers and ask them about the items in the box. If you complete all boxes, return it to the AHEAD registration desk. Your bingo sheet will then be corrected and entered into a raffle where you could win €50! 

Winner of the Bingo Networking will be announced at 1:30pm before the final workshop.
