Awrite!
Welcome to Silicon Milkroundabout Scotland!
Done right, today at our “grown-up jobs fair”, you’ll
speak to some great teams, learn about their products,
and zero in on some jobs that you think you’d excel at.
But more than that, you’ll get a blast of information
and ambition from the Scottish tech scene. These
companies are some of the most exciting and disruptive
startups and high-growth tech companies in Scotland,
and they’re all hiring at today’s event.
For every person attending today, there’s a product, a
team and a mission for you to get excited about. It’s the
diversity of markets, products, teams, and ambitions in
the room that sets this event apart.
So our advice is: get stuck in! Use this e-booklet and
our website at scotland.siliconmilkroundabout.com to
research the teams that are the best fit for you. Go and
talk to them about the roles they have on offer. Cut to
the chase. Find out early if you’d enjoy working with them.
Good luck, and enjoy the day!
The Silicon Milkroundabout team
