Mar 03, 2014 Pupil Review: Careers Speed-Dating On Tuesday 25th February, the Hundred were split into groups of around ten for a glimpse of the potential futures ahead of us. The Hundred Career Speed-Dating was a chance to listen to many young professionals talking about a grand variety of jobs. So I am back from my speed dating event and thought I would report my findings. Said, overall I think it was a good learning experience. It's a good way to build up your confidence level for talking to people you don't know (i.e. Meeting new people, duh). Matchmakers in Boston, MA.

The Hundred Career Speed-Dating was a chance to listen to many young professionals talking about a grand variety of jobs. The format was simple: after each individual had introduced himself or herself and had given the group a short but pivotal insight into their career, we were able to ask questions, which was key to the whole experience.
Then, after seven action-packed minutes, a new professional would take their place. There was a large range of careers from actuary to architecture, giving us a wide expanse of knowledge on many different career paths.
There were many different ideas to draw from this experience, but the reoccurring, fundamental points that struck me were the importance of interpersonal social skills and that enjoying ones job is pivotal.

On Tuesday 7th February, the Hundred were given a series of enlightening talks about careers and the future by Old Marlburians.
Each OM represented a different career, ranging from banking and engineering to drama and the creatives. The format was set up like speed-dating, meaning we sat in small groups for about five minutes as OMs one by one explained their career and the process of how they got there, and then answered our questions.
I think all of us can say that this was extremely useful as not only did it open our minds to lots of different career paths, but it also taught us how to choose our subjects for A levels, which should be those subjects we enjoy. As we are all making decisions on our A level choices (which can be a stressful and difficult process) we are getting to a point where future jobs and university applications are not very far away. Although their talks could be quite daunting, the OMs were able to help us as they were once in our shoes and they remember how the pressure can be hard. To be able to have this opportunity was amazing as well as helpful.
I would like to thank all the OMs for giving up their time to come and talk to us.
