On the night: This is a formal networking event so the dress code is smart (business dress) and attendees are asked to bring copies of their CV with them.   Please note, this is likely to be a popular event so unfortunately we cannot guarantee your place if you arrive late. (Last year over 30% of students who signed up, did not show up on the night) 2) Careeer Development Workshops / Job Fairs across China for Chinese alumni   Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu 9th 16th March, 2013         The   Cultural and Education Section of the British Embassy/Consulate-General in China (aka The British Council), provides a range of support services to UK alumni (Chinese students/graduates who have studied or are studying in the UK) in China.
