“Really great event with students well prepared to talk to employers – bringing professional CVs & the right attitude for the work. Staff were also exceptionally helpful – can’t rate it highly enough. This is my second year doing student fairs & my 42nd event & both students and the event have been among the best I have encountered. We’ll be back!”
— Katie Lowe, Senior Talent Manager at Mash Staffing
