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!

Top Insider Advice

Be proactive - chances are your dream job won't fall into your lap right away! Ask the right people the right questions, reach out to people on LinkedIn, value the expertise and experience of others and actively seek it out. Also, don't get in your own way - believe in your own skills and abilities, remind yourself of how far you've come, and remember rejection is normal and not a reflection of your potential. Just a reflection of one impression at one moment in time and an opportunity for self-improvement and growth - humble yourself to be open to constructive feedback!

Top Insider Advice

Take the time to understand the company's core values. If you find that they resonate with your own values, you're more likely to thrive in this environment. Be sure to incorporate these values into your application, interview responses, and preparation for the assessment day. This alignment can set you apart as a candidate who truly fits the company culture.
