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.”

Growth: Be open to every opportunity to learn and develop your skills. Seek feedback, tackle new challenges and remember to embrace change; this mindset will help you grow in your role and advance in your career journey. Communication: Effective communication is crucial. Share your findings and insights clearly with your team and build strong relationships with clients. Good communication allows effective collaboration and keeps everyone aligned to meet the common goal. Courage and curiosity: Speak up about potential risks or concerns; being curious and challenging the norm can lead to the creation of better processes, all leading to a safer and more efficient financial environment.

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.
