No achievements in life are the result of singular, private efforts - family, friends and teachers are just as much a part of every success story. However, in those moments where you doubt what you can do, and you worry you're not good enough, and you feel very much alone in your decision; every time you keep going and push yourself further are the moments that you define who you are and what you're capable of. The big secret is that you're capable of anything, you just have to believe it, and then go into the world and act like it!

Match your values to the company that you are applying to and make sure both what they do within work projects and outside of this engages your interests so that you have the motivation to develop yourself professionally and personally throughout your career journey. It will always present much more positively if you are truly excited and enjoy what you will do in your daily role.

Based on training sessions I have attended and the induction session we have had, the most common advice given to us was ' Ask questions.' And I absolutely abide by it. I always ask lots of questions! My colleagues always remind me that there is no such a thing as a silly question. They are always happy to answer my questions and provide me with context on what I'm doing, why I'm doing it and more importantly, advise on the approach I should take to action a task. This helped me gain an insight into the wider picture of the engagement, helping me understand the client better.

Top Insider Advice

Everyone has certain personality traits or skills which they develop throughout school or university, which they might not even be aware of - they do not have to be technical/academic! Soft skills are so important in the world of work, and it's important to reflect on what you are good at and what sort of roles will sort this skill set. For example, if you're a friendly person who is good at making others feel comfortable, a client facing role might suit you better. On the other hand, if you have high organizational skills, you might excel in a job where you work on several projects/clients at one time. It might seem obvious, but excelling at work, especially in your first few years, is usually much more to do with your personality than your technical knowledge or understanding. Find a job where the working style comes naturally to you, and you'll be able to dedicate more effort to learning and developing.
