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!

Easier said than done I know, but try and relax and let your personality shine through as much as possible during the assessment process.

Finding your passion is critical to your success in role, I am driven by my own personal values and shape my role around my strengths enabling me to succeed across a variety of tasks. I often find myself excited to be tackling a new challenge, embedding learning and delivering for our customers. Bringing your true self to work and showcasing your skills provides you a strong foundation but its the wider team that supports you to bring the best you can, working together to achieve the impossible.
