    Thanks!

    Lots of info here: http://www.ul.ie/careers/careers/events/fairs.shtml#Careers%20Fair

    It is predominately aimed at 4th years and postgrads, but it can be a worthwhile experience for all years as they see what job prospects are available for them in the future.

    It may provide you with something to aim for. They are not vital to attend, but there is always free stuff there as well [one cannot have enough pens!].

    Came home with a bag full of pens, chocolate, USB sticks, highlighters, stress balls last year...and for that reason i'll be going again this year:D

    Its very good for 4th years as you can get nearly snapped up by recruiters looking for graduate students. You get to talk with usually employees who themselves are on graduaate programmes so you get a feel for what those companies are like. I found it great last year as a 4th year, applied for a few positions but ended up doing a postgrad instead. No harm as a 3rd year going for a look.
