What is Murphy Career Day?

Career day at Murphy Middle School is a learning experience for our students where they can hear firsthand about different careers from the professionals in those fields. We try to schedule a variety of professionals so that students can see the varied world of careers available to them.  

What do I need to do as a speaker?

When you prepare a presentation, think about what someone with little to no knowledge of your career would need to know or understand if they wanted to pursue your career path.  

Think about:

A day in the life of your profession
The types of situations you have to deal with on a daily basis
Skills required for your profession
Education and training needed
The salary range
The history of the profession and its future
What you enjoy about your career
What you wish you would have known before you went into the field/  advice for anyone who wants to pursue your career

What do I need to bring with me?

Create your presentation on Google slides
Or  create and save your presentation on a USB device so it can be uploaded onto the teacher’s computer
Any visuals that you can bring to show kids about your career or field
