Following the Enfield Jobs Fair, held in January 2011 which was visited by 1,200 people and hosted representatives from over 40 companies, Nick set up the Enfield Jobs Club to provide on-going support and guidance for those participating in the job hunting process.

The Jobs Club took the form of a Monday morning session every week, using workshops and seminars on subjects such as interview technique, compiling a CV and basic finance.

With the successful launch of Enterprise Enfield's Work Club, which performs the same function as Nick's Jobs Club but with far greater resources and expertise, the Jobs Club has now come to an end. If you are looking for work and feel you could do with some help in navigating the job hunting process, the details of Enterprise Enfield are below.

The Work Club meets most Fridays at Enterprise Enfield, Enfield Business Centre, 201 Hertford Road, Enfield, Middlesex EN3 5JH. To find out more, including information on the dates and sessions, go to their website here.

21 January - Huge success as Jobs Fair pulls in 1,200

The Enfield Jobs Fair organised by Enfield North MP Nick de Bois was visited by 1,200 people on Friday.

Held at Southbury Leisure centre and hosting over 40 local companies, training providers and voluntary organisations, the event aimed to give people a chance to find a job or training placement. Seminars were held throughout the day, including two from jobs specialist The Recruitment Guy.

Nick said, ""We expected around 150 to 300 people to turn up, so I was amazed when the figures showed we'd had 1,200 people come to the event".
