On Thursday 12 February, a group of old scholars at the beginning of their career journeys gathered for a career's masterclass with Andrew Reed, General Manager at Hender Consulting. Drawing on his experience in executive search and recruitment, Andrew offered practical advice on building a professional profile, navigating applications and interviews, and approaching opportunities with clarity and confidence.
The attendees were highly engaged through out the interactive workshop and continued the conversation over supper in the Big Quad.
As Charlie Bruce (WDK 2025) reflected, “I gained valuable insight into how networking and professional presence shape opportunities early in your career. It was an insightful and motivating session that reinforced the importance of being intentional and well-prepared when applying for roles.”
The connection continues well beyond a student’s final day at School. Opportunities like this offer practical guidance as old scholars begin their professional journeys, with honest advice and real-world insight shared by those a few steps ahead.
Thank you to everyone who supported this new initiatve by SPOC, we look forward to building on this theme and offering other professional development workshops to our community in the future.
