Warsash Open Day?

[Surfer Girl]

As some of you may know, there is an open day at warsash sometime this January. I will be attending as I am applying for September 2014 intake. So.. I was just wondering about some things :P

1) I get that there will be different representatives from some of the different companies. Will they be employed officers, current students or what? I'd like to prepare a few questions to ask them depending on what their position is.
2) Is there anything I can say/do to make an impression?
3) Will I get the opportunity to see accommodation?

Thanks for reading! I'm really excited about this open day

Normally representatives from the majority of the companies turn up to speak to potential applicants with some interviewing / accepting applications on the day.

WMA & some of the companies normally rope a number of current cadets into attending / being tour guides for the day so you will also have a chance to speak to some of them and see around the college.

So I can actually be accepted for a cadetship while I'm there? Sounds good! Is it usually only the unpopular, desperate companies or some of the decent ones as well as that tend to do this? Because this idea sounds a lot better than applying online to a gazillion different places :/

Most companies go to them. Maersk asked us to go to one at South Tyneside college a while back, but I don't really do Saturday mornings so I never went. I hear it was a good day though I don't know if you be accepted for a cadetship on the day or if they'd just interview you/ accept your application form. Sure you've read the website but it says you can expect:

I would suggest applying before hand.
