We were thrilled to host another Careers & Conversations Morning at the Old Millhillians Club, welcoming Sixth Form pupils interested in careers in technology, sales and finance.

A huge thank you to OM Jessica Mason (Cedars 2007–11) for joining us and sharing her experience working with financial services clients to digitally transform their businesses through technology.

Jessica spoke to pupils about the universal importance of sales, explaining that every organisation ultimately depends on the ability to communicate value. Whether you’re selling products, advice, solutions or ideas, success in any role often comes down to how well you can share your thinking and expertise.  She also discussed the importance of developing human skills in an AI-driven world, encouraging pupils to stay curious, keep learning and build deep knowledge over time. While technology can amplify our capabilities, qualities like passion, curiosity and communication are what truly set people apart.

Finally, Jessica shared her perspective on opportunities for women in industry, encouraging pupils to speak up, put themselves forward and not let imposter syndrome hold them back, reminding them that feeling out of your comfort zone is often a sign of growth.

“Returning to Mill Hill, where I spent some of the most formative and happiest years of my life, was incredibly nostalgic. It was a special opportunity to reflect on the journey so far and hopefully encourage the next generation to be curious, ambitious and confident in carving out their own path. A big thank you to the Old Millhillians Club and School for the warm welcome, it was a privilege to come back to Mill Hill and share a small part of my story.”

If any OMs would like to come in and share their career journey, please get in touch.
