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!

Don't make the mistake of pretending to be someone you are not. We recognise that everybody has strengths and weaknesses, so embracing them is vital so that you we can really learn who you are.

Top Insider Advice

From my experience resilience is the most important thing that helps me to get to the objectives. Sometimes things are not easy but if you really want something keep trying, ask for help if needed and push yourself. Don’t give up easily but also don’t be too harsh on your self when things don’t go as planned, sometimes it happens and you can’t control it. If you did everything in your power to reach what you wanted to and it still didn’t happen it wasn’t meant to be.
