How will the session run?
Career WorkOut introduces students to work guests from different work backgrounds so they can find out what it’s really like in different jobs. Students simply ask guests qustions about their personal experiences of work.
You’ll join other work guests to answer questions from students in a carousel of 6-7 minute interviews, a bit like speed-networking! They’ll ask you open questions about your job, how you got it and what it’s like for you. When the time is up the students move to the next guest, and so on until the end of the session.
