Eighty four students, including undergraduates and postgraduates, attended a Physics Employer Event which took place on Wednesday May 7^th in the PLT concourse. The event assumed a ‘speed dating’ format and eight employers delivered presentations outlining the opportunities for physicists in a variety of sectors, including: engineering, teaching, energy consultancy, software development and computer games design. Two former Warwick physics graduates, Bethan Halliwell and Ruth Nicol (training as a patent attorney and healthcare scientist respectively), also described how they used the skills and knowledge developed during their degrees to find rewarding and challenging careers. Feedback was very positive with lots of anecdotal evidence that these events help physicists identify a range of career options, and plan accordingly. “Very good selection of employers…brilliant series of prospective employers…can be convinced of jobs I wasn’t initially interested in…I enjoyed the structure of the talks even if I was sceptical at first.”
