Charley Urquhart, a 19-year-old Glasgow University student from Barrhead, attended Silverburn’s Job Fair three years ago and secured a temporary Christmas job at Noah Home & Gifts.

Charley said: "I heard about the job fair through my friends, and we all went together, which made the whole process more comfortable and enjoyable.

"On the day I applied for lots of jobs and received several offers, which meant I could choose the role that suited me best.

"The job fair is a brilliant chance to apply for lots of jobs at once and gain valuable networking experience.

"What I enjoy most about retail is the people you meet.

"Customers come in for gifts for all occasions and it’s lovely to be able to have a nice chat with them."
