Nick Gaudion walked away from this year’s careers fair with more than a few ideas about his future job prospects.

The 16 year old Grammar School student won a Nintendo Wii after entering a competition at the Sure stand.

Only hours before visiting the fair Mr Gaudion said he had been playing virtual tennis at his friend’s house.

“It’s absolutely fantastic, I never thought I would win,” he said. “Before the careers fair, my friend and I had been playing on Wii Sports, and I thought that I would really like one.”

The games console caused a storm when it was launched because of its hi-tech motion detecting games controller that tracks the user’s movement to control characters and objects on the screen.

Sure’s Resources and Development Director, Jan Nobes, said that they have a lot to offer school leavers and graduates looking for employment opportunities.

“We are an ideal employer for someone not sure of what they want to do because we offer a wide range of jobs across many different areas, from engineering to retail, and accounting to marketing,” she said.

“This is why the stand got so much attention, but I also think that the chance to win a Nintendo Wii was a bit of a sweetener. Congratulations to Nick,” she said.

Mr Gaudion said that the career’s fair had given an insight into businesses in the island that are his potential future employers.
