No question is a silly question, therefore I encourage you to be curious, demonstrate your interest and ask questions.

One of the key messages I tell people applying for apprenticeships is to prepare. Research is paramount, and often assessments and interviews can be simply a matter of practicing. If you prepare for as many scenarios as possible, you are less likely to be caught off guard. The more you can practice your strengths, the better chance you have of performing under pressure. Additionally, take failure as a learning experience. From my personal experience, there are going to be many rejections, and the only way to see success is to take it lightly and improve on your mistakes. It's important to keep a positive outlook and treat each opportunity like a fresh start, because no matter how it may seem the hard work will most likely pay off.

Having strong soft skills will help you in life. Get comfortable building relationships and being out of your comfort zone, this will help you succeed in your professional career. It has helped me build professional relationships with clients and colleagues, and makes it easier when you have to ask them difficult questions.
