"We have attended the Skills for Work fairs for a number of years and continue to be highly impressed with the calibre of candidates from Glasgow University.  The fair was attended by lots of enthusiastic students keen to find out about my experiences of working at Ernst & Young.  I would encourage students who are still interested in starting a career next September to apply now as places are filling fast!" Ernst & Young
