The Careers Service at St Mary’s University, Twickenham welcomed back Philosophy alumni on Tuesday 11th February to share their experiences of the working world with current students and staff.
The event, which was organised by St Mary’s Careers Consultant Kathy Williams in collaboration with the Philosophy, History, Sociology and English programmes at the University, takes place annually and serves to aid students with their decisions about their careers after studying.
Three St Mary’s alumni were welcomed back and gave accounts of their experiences in education and employment, stating that they never have a ‘typical day’ at work. The trio also shared advice in getting to know a new role, networking and more.
Richard Nye from The Richmond Magazine also visited for a question and answer session, where they discussed working in the publishing industry.
A number of similar events will take place for the Academic Schools within the University, with the School of Management and Social Science Fair taking place on Wednesday 2nd April. The Careers Service also run workshops throughout the year.
