The Bank of Advice – From Early Careers to Assessors to Trainees

We know many students turn to the ‘Bank of Mum and Dad’ for financial support. While we can’t provide that, we canoffer something just as valuable—a ‘Bank of Advice.’ In this session, you’ll hear from our trainees, Early Careers team and assessors, each sharing insights to help you succeed.

Our trainees will talk through their journeys, including what to do at university and when; our Early Careers colleagues will share practical tips for preparing for assessments and tackling tricky questions; and our assessors will reveal what they look for in standout candidates and how you can make a lasting impression.
