- The Mall – jobs in sales, retail and related areas
- Go Global – career opportunities overseas

"Cork’s economy is buoyant at the moment, and the Cork-Kerry region has the lowest unemployment rate in Ireland," said Bronagh Cotter of event organiser Careers Unlimited.
"Companies are in recruitment mode and we are really pleased with the range of jobs on offer at this November’s Jobs Expo Cork. We have some amazing Irish and multinational exhibitors, including Abtran, PhoneWatch, Laya Healthcare and AbbVie."
There will also be free career advice at the event as well as a series of industry seminars including talks on job-seeking skills, such as interview techniques and CV writing.
