Questions people ask

How do you organize a career day?
Recruit a mix of speakers six weeks ahead, give each a room and a time, rotate classes through, and prepare students with question ideas. Send thank-you notes the same week.
What should a career day presentation include?
A day in the life, how the speaker got there (detours included), the best and hardest parts, one or two props, and plenty of time for questions. Twelve to fifteen minutes of talking is enough.
What questions should students ask at career day?
What does a normal day look like? What did you study? What's the hardest part? What surprised you? What would you tell yourself at my age?
