“I first heard about the festival from the University of Southampton Careers Facebook page. I thought it would be a good idea in meeting some companies, to have a general idea of where I could apply for spring and summer internships. Also I attended a few company presentations as well as workshops to help with CVs and applications...I think it’s really important to utilise these sessions as they could really make the difference in whether you get that internship/graduate placement. Plus you may even have the chance to win a prize…like an iPad”.
