What do you like about your job and the company?
I am fortunate to work in a 'global' team, meaning I connect with colleagues across countries and across business functions on a daily basis. From machine learning pilots in Indonesia, to collaborating with colleagues in Europe.

I am proud to be an ambassador for ID&E (inclusion, diversity & equity) - ensuring that everyone has a voice and we build equity for those who need it. Both in GB and globally I am active in learning and sharing on these topics. I believe in the importanc eof building diverse and inclusive teams, so everyone can share their ideas meaning that as a collective our ideas are bigger and better

Don't be afraid to reach out to people and ask silly questions or want to know more about their role etc. People are always willing to help and therefore don't be shy to ask for it. Having a strong network will not only help in terms of understanding the wider business and can provide you with people to rely on when you need support; but it will also open up new opportunities that may not have been possible. Also be clear on what kind of roles you enjoy (make take time to figure out) - but understand what gets you out of bed in the morning and then look for roles that have these aspects as part of them. And definitely don't expect to have a lot of the requirements on job descriptions - do not let this put you off applying. After all, if you had all the list, arguably you shouldn't be applying! The point is to show your transferable skills to the role and willingness to learn, and you should then have opportunities in the role to develop particular skills.

Create an understanding of what area you want to get into and perfect your craft ! Gain as much work experience as you can or if your in higher education - Do something different i.e. work placement/ study abroad in your degree to make sure you stand out from the crowd. You will not regret it ...Trust me ! Always follow your passion and be yourself ! You are more comfortable being yourself rather than someone your not :)

Lots of opportunities will present to work with different people or to volunteer to get involved in different areas of the business. Always volunteer to do something new - it’s great to have variety but it also gives great insight into how you could do your own job even better.
