Hundreds of job seekers gave their careers a boost by attending the Oxford Mail Job Fair.

More than 1,500 people checked out the exhibits at Oxford Town Hall today, meeting representatives from a range of firms and recruitment agencies plus Thames Valley Police, the Army and Oxfordshire County Council.

Belinda Rand, the Oxford Mail's recruitment sales manager, said: "It was a really busy day for all the exhibitors and a really successful event."

The job fair is sponsored by Bluestream Recruitment in association with Darren Bell Recruitment.

The next Oxford Mail Job Fair will be held in September.
