This year’s careers fair was held in the Great Hall on the 7th of November. The formal part of the evening ran from 7-8.30pm and brought together members of the Old King’s Club whom were interested in presenting. We had volunteers presenting careers in the following areas:

– Psychology

– Chartered Accounting/ CPA

– Computing, including cyber security

– Biomedical scientists

– Biochemists

– Biotechnologists

– Design Engineers 

– Physicists

– Digital content industry

– Sports Industry

– The Arts – actors, artists, graphic artists, musicians, photographers, curators

– Sports Industry 

– Marketing, including social media marketing

The OKC designed and commissioned an online application which allows students to securely log in and view the anonymous profiles of prospective advisors. The students make 5 choices in order of preference and the system makes a list of advisors to contact and eventually assigns students to small seminar groups. Thus, control is placed in the hands of the students, making it more likely that they get the advice they are looking for. Our thanks go to Eleanor Sturge, who contacts all the advisors and makes everything run without a hitch.

The main event was preceded by drinks and supper, allowing advisors (mostly Old King’s Club members) to catch up with old friends and network with professional colleagues.
