EDITED’s Post

Today, a group of Nottingham learners attended the Nottingham Careers Fair held at The Albert Hall. At the event, learners exploring their career paths took the opportunity to engage with various employers, posing insightful questions such as: * What does your company do? * What kind of jobs do you have at your company? * What skills or qualifications do you look for in a candidate? * Do you have any internship opportunities for learners? * What advice do you have for someone who wants to work within your company? Upon returning to college, learners were encouraged to reflect on their interactions at the fair. They pondered questions such as: How did they feel during their conversations with the employers? Did they find satisfactory answers to their inquiries? Were they able to effectively communicate their strengths and abilities? What career paths are they now considering following this experience? Overall, it was an enriching afternoon for our learners as they considered their work experience opportunities and future career aspirations.

Today, I had the privilege of attending the 2024 STEM Career and Internship Fair at UC Santa Cruz. Engaging with recruiters and delving into discussions about potential job opportunities was an enriching experience. One proactive step I took prior to the event was applying for relevant positions in advance. By doing so, I ensured that recruiters had access to my resume and pertinent information, facilitating seamless conversations and maximizing the impact of our interactions. As I reflect on this experience, I recognize the importance of further proactive measures to enhance future career fair engagements. What other strategies do you recommend for maximizing the effectiveness of these events? Let's continue the discussion! #CareerFair #STEMOpportunities #ProactiveApproach

Yesterday I took part in a careers fair at my kids school where I spent 90 minutes talking about my career in IT and answering questions from the children in year 5 & 6. The groups were split into 10 - 15 children at a time and by the 8th group I had my pitch down to a fine art. The most popular questions were: Q)What’s your favourite place to travel to with work? A)India I think and fortunately I’m back there in a couple of weeks! Q)Who’s your favourite F1 driver? A)Official answer = Lewis Hamilton but the Hexagon line is anyone driving for Red Bull Racing Q)What’s your favourite Greggs Pasty? A)Sausage and Bean melt no contest it’s the god tier bakery treat. Q)What do you earn? A)Enough to have a nice house, a nice car and the occasional nice holiday 😆 Some of my favourite questions though were: Why do you like working in IT? What do you do in a normal day and when did you decide what you wanted to do when you grew up? All great questions but the thing that really struck me was how eager the kids were to ask questions. There wasn’t one group where the questions didn’t flow and I was forced to fill the time (and people who know me well know how much I hate awkward silence and tend to babble to try and fill it). Refreshingly all kids engaged and asked questions and thankfully seemed interested in my reply! Gave me lots of hope for the future and made me think about how as a real life grown up I can learn from the engagement those kids showed in the sessions yesterday!
