Nothing resonates more than expressing big ideas that you are passionate about. There is no such thing as an idea too big, change happens in small incremental steps in the right direction. Inspire others to see the world in a more positive light. Always be willing to learn and never give up!

What do you like about your job and the company?
We have a young, vibrant and ambitious team who all support one another in achieving the best work and by extension, the best outcomes we can. Going into the office is never a chore, it's an exciting day out! Some of the changes I've made impact up to half a million customers per month. It's amazing to take a step back and realise the far reaching impact you have working here.
Greatest achievements
It would be easy to say something like getting my degree, running my own business or being accepted onto the Lloyds Banking Group graduate scheme. For me though, I aim to be proud of the small wins we achieve every day, this could be a presentation that went well, or an interview or even a social interaction. This way I keep myself motivated and consistent. Maybe one day I will look back on the culmination of everything and feel proud of all of it as a whole but I have a lot more to prove to myself yet!

The graduate application journey can be incredibly challenging. However, what truly pushes us forward is our commitment to our goals and the perseverance to overcome obstacles that ultimately shape our success. My most important piece of advice is as follows: Your past is important but it’s your unwavering commitment to your dreams and the determination to overcome challenges and failures that will lead you to the remarkable destinations you aspire to reach. “It doesn’t matter where you are coming from, all that matters is where you are going.”

Even when it feels like you have a setback, there are always opportunities to learn, and having that mindset makes those setbacks so much more manageable and surmountable. If something hasn't gone to plan, rather than feeling too badly about it and beating yourself up, asking yourself what the greatest learning points were makes sure you can gain from the experience. One of the most important things I've realised is that I can also ask others what they think the main take aways are too - and that fresh perspective can really drive your own motivation and help approach new situations from a different angle going forward! Even in circumstances where things have gone really well, it's always worth reflecting why it went well in the first place, and what can be taken away from this and applied to other problems and situations. Your colleagues are some of your greatest learning resources, and no question is ever silly, so don't be afraid just to ask!
