Event Review – London STEM Women Graduate Careers Event – 13th November

On Monday 13th November, STEM Women hosted the London STEM Women Graduate Careers Event at the QEII Centre in bustling Westminster. This fantastic event attracted 47 exhibiting employers and 662 student and graduate attendees.
Throughout the day, attendees were able to network with employers from a wide range of STEM-related industries, including engineering, insurance, investment, banking, consultancy, clean energy, technology, rail, and manufacturing to name just a few.
STEM Women Welcome and employer panel
We began with a welcome from STEM Women, followed by an in-depth panel discussion.
4 Top tips from the panel discussion
- Try to establish a good work life balance – the panellists did this through socialising, dancing and other hobbies.
- Be authentic, even when it seems like ‘being someone else’ would get you further. You should always be yourself.
- Don’t be afraid to give feedback to those in more senior roles – this can be one of the best ways to stand out for leadership roles.
- If you want something, ask. Sometimes we count ourselves out before anyone else does.
STEM Graduate Careers Exhibition and Networking
Throughout the day, attendees were able to visit all 47 employers at their company stands. The networking space was full of exciting conversation throughout the day, with attendees making new connections, chatting to recruiters, discovering career opportunities, and making the most of this fantastic networking experience!
