💡 Pro Tips for Hosting a Successful Q&A Session with Students 💡    When running a Q&A session with students, preparation and moderation are key to keeping the momentum going and avoiding awkward silences. Here are two powerful strategies from Nicole Vogler to ensure your Q&A hits the mark:    🎤 1. Preparation & Moderation:  Gather questions in advance and have prepared ones ready to kickstart the conversation.  Designate a "Joker" in the audience to ask a question if needed, to avoid any uncomfortable pauses.    🔥 2. Keep the Momentum Alive:  Tackle difficult questions head-on, respond authentically, and follow up with lighter, positive topics to keep the energy flowing.  Always end on a high note—try using a highlight video or something uplifting to leave a lasting, positive impression.    These tips will help you manage the flow and ensure a smooth, engaging Q&A session!

🚀 Understanding the Difference Between Business & STEM Students: How to Engage STEM Talent 🔍 One key takeaway from our recent CareerFairy Networking Apéro is the significant difference in behavior and preferences between Business and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) students. Here’s what we’ve learned from Cheyenne Friedrich (President of the Math & Informatics Student Council at the University of Bern): 💼 Business Students:  • More outgoing, extroverted, and keen on networking and large group interactions.  • Actively seek out events, engage in discussions, and enjoy connecting with potential employers. 🧑🔬 STEM Students:  • Often more introverted and prefer smaller, more personal interactions.  • Less likely to ask questions in large settings, even though they have plenty of interest.    How to engage STEM students effectively? 1.Anonymous Engagement: STEM students often prefer anonymous or less public interaction. Tools like anonymous Q&As, live chats, and polls allow them to engage without feeling the pressure of being in the spotlight. 2. Smaller, Intimate Settings: STEM students thrive in smaller group discussions or 1:1 meetings. These environments help them feel more comfortable and open to asking questions.    Want more insights like this? Follow us on LinkedIn to stay updated with the latest insights!
