CAREERS FAIR
The careers fair was a great opportunity to see
the different career paths we can take and the
different colleges and universities we can enrol
in. Some stalls were giving out free things, such
as toothbrushes from the dentist stand, to show
us what different jobs can offer.
The people were extremely nice and really took
time to explain to you the certain aspects about
that job, they were clearly enthusiastic about
what they did and it made the job seem even
more enticing.
Some stalls also had interactive stuff to do like the
NHS weighing game where you had to guess how
much each organ weighed (I was awful at that).
There was lots of stuff about the arts and jobs that
most people don’t know about, they really taught
us about what you can do backstage and that not
all theatre jobs involve acting.
It was nice to see other schools there too and to
see people who were the same age as us and
were just as interested in their options and future.
One of my favourite stalls was hair and beauty.
There was a nail stall where you could paint your
own nails and a hair salon where you could practise
curling hair on a mannequin.
Overall it was a great experience and showed me
jobs that I had never even thought about before
and really helped me in my decision of what to do
next. It really helped me broaden my horizon for
what I want to do and what subjects I want to take.
