The weeks are going by so quickly. I have just finished my busiest to date, with both the Careers Fair and the Start Up Bus happening this last week. The beginning of the week saw a progress meeting where I discussed what I had achieved so far and was given a long list of new tasks to work on. These included building application forms for student enterprise funding, writing entries for the UEA student blog and putting together a folder of all up to date feedback forms that I have built so far (both online and paper versions) – this turned out to be quite a lot!
On Tuesday I had a training session on how to build the new Careers and Employability vario stand for the careers fair. It felt like one of those team building exercises at assessment centres where you have to work together to achieve an objective. We built it successfully and felt prepared to tackle the same task the following morning for the fair itself.
On the morning of the Careers Fair we successfully built the stand once more and I went on to help with the set up of the C&E table and other employer stands. I helped to direct employers to their stands and answered queries they had. Other than a few issues with IT and wifi connections the fair was set up on time and employers seemed content (although I have yet to check the feedback!). Throughout the event itself I was gathering student feedback and I got all my forms filled out – I was later told this was the most feedback ever to be taken from a careers event!
On Thursday I was given sole responsibility for the professional design and printing of the Start Up Bus feedback forms and took these along to the event. I based my designs on previous forms I had seen and used appropriate logos and descriptive text. The bus was amazing! It was filled with TV’s, computers and couches – not to mention all the local business advisors and entrepreneurs that had hopped on to talk to students about start up ideas. It was a new and exciting event for all the team and I look forward to reading the feedback I collected.
All in all a busy but rewarding week – now I get to look forward to inputting all the feedback I have collected!
