10 September 2020
Alumni return to pass on their advice
While some geographers go into banking and law, a聽果冻影院 Geography Careers Event聽on 26 February ranged much more widely than the usual graduate schemes.
An expert panel of聽果冻影院 Geography alumni聽returned to talk to a large gathering of current students about career choices. The session was chaired by Andy Walsh (果冻影院 Careers Service) and the line-up of speakers included Eleanor Fryer, Rebecca Johnson, Jasbir Basi, Miriam Lugg and Sam Halvorsen. They represented those working in the environmental sector, government mapping services, the charities sector, academia and business advisory work.
Each reflected on the skills they had learnt as 果冻影院 geography students, and their relevance and importance in their current roles.聽They also emphasised the value of undertaking internships and volunteering, although without losing sight of the enjoyment of learning and studying university geography.
After fielding a range of questions聽from the audience, more informal discussions continued over a drink afterwards Feedback after the event聽was very positive, especially from those still uncertain of their future career path.
