Message: <blockquote data-quote="NickMcK" data-source="post: 38390" data-attributes="member: 3800">Have you asked the recruitment teams for the firms where you want to attend the open days if you can attend? Often events are worded and targeted at current students but actually anyone can attend. I found that happened a lot when I was signing up for events as I graduated years ago but it often turned out I was more than welcome. I'd recommend checking their recruitment process before you ask though. If a firm is explicit in saying that anyone from any background can apply or mention 'graduates' can apply then you are likely to be able to go even if the event says 'current students'. They may also have a specific event for graduates. Unfortunately, some firms do target current students specifically so by checking you'll know not to apply to those. And, honestly, if you do go to any events don't worry about being a graduate. Just focus on making the most of the event and getting what you need to make the best application you can, as well as building connections. I found that whenever I was anxious about being 'late' to applying because of being a graduate that if I carried that into the event and let it be an issue than actually that was just my issue - firms often don't care and if anything see your experience as an asset. E.g. there's no risk you won't graduate as you've already proven you can do that.</blockquote>
