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.”

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.

I always think that most of the time we create our own insecurity. For example, ff you ever feel like you have impostor syndrome, just ask yourself, what are the odds of you really being here by mistake? Of everyone else being much better than you? They're always low and they're is always going to be someone else in a similar situation to you. As another example, if you apply for a job and get a rejection, where only 5% of applicants pass, there is no reason to bring yourself down, 95% of people will be in your same situation. The odds of passing were low but the only way to beat those odds is trying again, and 5% is much better than 0. Many use realism to be negative but I believe it is the best way to have a positive attitude and keep going!
