The event also offered personalised advice on employment, workshops and lectures on updating skills and acquiring new ones, practical advice on preparing CVs, the optimisation of internet profiles and how to approach interviews and access job opportunities.

Opportunities in growth trades and sectors

The fair brought people closer to the reality of sectors as varied as the creative industries, nature, care, food, transport, construction and installations. Through practical displays, it also showed the tasks, tools and skills relating to different professions, from the audiovisual sphere to floral art and 3D printing to robotics, medical emergencies and physical rehabilitation.

Artificial intelligence applied to jobseeking

Participants were able to attend sessions on the use of AI to generate and optimise CVs and application letters, promote personal brands, identify new professional trends and prepare for job interviews. There was also an explanation of how this technological innovation is changing recruitment processes. In fact, visitors were able to see how automated systems such as ATS and so-called Kill Bots work, and how to avoid the most common mistakes when using AI to prepare a job application.
