It's important to be yourself & authentic in your application process - we also encourage students to attend our webinards/insight days etc

Finally please increase your commercial awareness through following key commentators on social media/reading the financial times, etc.

Can you elaborate on how I would use LinkedIn to add value to my application/ myself?

Commercial awareness- does this mean you like people who keep up to date with the current times and news etc?

And use those contacts to ask questions and learn more about the area - it can be quite useful for your application process

Regarding commercial awareness, probably just to make sure that you are interested in what happens in your sector
