 --------\n\nThis workshop was run in Cambridge in January and May and over
  100 people attended\, who gave such positive feedback like "This was the 
 first careers workshop I haven't hated".\n\nKeep reading for details of wh
 at will be covered\, testimonials\, and FAQ.\n\nWho we are:\n80\,000 Hours
  is an independent non-profit\, which helps graduates find fulfilling jobs
  with a big positive impact on the world. We’ve done five years of resea
 rch into how to find the best career\, coached hundreds of people\, and ha
 ve an online career guide that’s read by half a million people each year
 .\n\n------------\n\nWhat we’ll cover:\n1) What is fulfilling work anywa
 y?\nWe’ll take you through what the latest psychology research shows is 
 most important to being satisfied at work.\n\n2) In which career can you h
 ave the greatest social impact?\nWhat is “social impact”\, and what op
 tions are there beyond nonprofits and teaching?\n\n3) Which jobs put you i
 n a better position for the future?\nWe’ll cover what to look for in you
 r first couple of jobs and some especially promising options to consider.\
 n\n4) How to put together your plan\nWe’ll tell you how to figure out wh
 ich options are best for you and make a plan for the coming years. And we 
 won’t just tell you to follow your passion.\n\n5) How to actually get th
 e jobs you want\nThe best advice out there on following through on your pl
 an and landing the jobs you want.\n\n------------\n\nTestimonials from Oxf
 ord and Cambridge students:\n\n“This workshop was absolutely amazing. I 
 would recommend it to anyone who considers social impact a factor in their
  career plans. This afternoon was probably the most productive afternoon I
  have had this year.”\n- Harri Besceli\n\n“This was the best workshop 
 I have been to so far...Great timing and presenting\, straight to the fact
 s (very useful and not cliche facts and advice).”\n- Marco Bodnar\n\n“
 80000 Hours is the sole source of any sanity or clarity which may now be p
 resent in my career plans\, and the organisation I am most grateful to for
  introducing a sense that I know where I am going\, have control over wher
 e I am going and am excited about it into my life.”\n- Eleanor Stephens\
 n\n------------\n\nFAQ:\n1) I've already read a lot of 80\,000 Hours conte
 nt\, is this for me?\nWe'll cover all our intro material\, so if you'll fi
 nd that boring\, then it's not for you. However\, if you'd like to spend a
  day thinking through all the basics and how they apply to your situation\
 , it’ll still be helpful. Many people who’ve been familiar with 80\,00
 0 Hours for a while have still found it really useful.\n\n2) I’ve alread
 y worked for over 6 years\, is this for me?\nAbout 70% of the content will
  be relevant to everyone\, while 30% is aimed at people early in their car
 eer. If you’re later in your career\, it will still be useful\, but not 
 as useful as for people early in their careers.\n\n3) I’m already decide
 d on an area (e.g. medicine / finance / economics etc). Is it still worth 
 me coming along?\nIt’ll be less useful\, but can still help you with dec
 isions like what speciality to focus on.\n\n4) Can I stay for part of the 
 day?\nWe’d prefer you not to come in and out. If you only need to miss a
 n hour though that’s OK.\n\n\n*** Space is limited so grab your ticket t
