As many of us know, making the transition from your college days to the big, bad corporate world of modern working life can be more than a little daunting.
Some might argue that grads have it easier these days on account of Ireland becoming such a hub for the technology industry, what with all of the tech behemoths making a home here over the last decade.
And, of course, that is true, but before even thinking about which company they might like to work for, graduates still need to figure out how exactly they break into the industry to begin with.

Well, if you're a college student or recent graduate with lofty ambitions of carving a career for yourself in the world of tech then we may have just the event for you.
Irish start-up Gradguide was born from the founder, Mark Hughes, facing the exact same predicament after finishing his degree. After a six-month long stint behind a bar, he eventually landed a big boy job in tech with a little help from a mentor who was a few years ahead of him on the ladder.

This experience ultimately proved to be the spark that eventually became Gradguide, a company which aims to bridge the gap between college grads & technology companies through e-learning, industry mentorship, and its graduate recruitment platform.
Sounds handy, right? Well, even better, later this week Gradguide is hosting jam-packed virtual career fair, boasting an impressive line-up of tech companies with business tips and e-learning experiences tailored just for you.
By simply signing up via the official website here, grads can get direct access to representatives and hiring managers from some of the world's most exciting potential employers including Slack, Intercom, Qualtrics and Wayflyer. Best of all? It's entirely free.
