Tuesday saw my first visit to an AIESEC fair, which are essentially like normal careers fairs, apart from run by AIESEC – so not much different to what I am used to if I’m honest. The fair was in the Students Union which I have been to a few times however I had to park a country-mile away, and as it was throwing it down, it made for a very wet start to the day.

I was ably assisted by rep Ryan and he did very well manning the stand as I went off for frequent wanders and to make a few important calls (ordering my new iPhone). In the end we got around 100 sign-ups, however I think we can safely say this was rain affected, so did make for a long day.

Anyways, what are the scores George Dawes?

Southampton Total Score 26/70

Overall Ratings

  • Food: 7/10. A cold buffet of sandwiches, sausage rolls and chicken legs, not bad at all.
  • Freebies: 4/10. Great rubber ducky from QS, that will find its way into my bath.
  • Weather: 2/10. p1ssing down, luckily I had the biggest umbrella in the world in my car.
  • Beer: 5/10. Again no beer… Did have a mocha from the service station. I chose a mocca over a beer, what is happening to me!!!
  • Grounds: 4/10. A bit weird if I’m honest, a big road goes through the middle, no greenery or sports grounds, I am guessing they are somewhere else though.
  • Ambience: 2/10. Really quiet in terms of students and actual recruiters, plus it was really long so dragged a bit.
  • Bird Watching: 2/10. They must be fair-weather (no pun intended) birds in Southampton.
