Reflecting on her week, Keira shared: "𝘐𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘰𝘵𝘺𝘱𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘭𝘰𝘢𝘥 𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯’𝘵 𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘦.

We are delighted to hear that her expectations were greatly exceeded and that all of her questions were answered. The positive feedback from Oxford Economics further emphasises Keira's impact during her short time there: "𝘐𝘯 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 4 𝘥𝘢𝘺𝘴, 𝘒𝘦𝘪𝘳𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 - 𝘢 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘭𝘺 𝘸𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯!" We are incredibly proud of Keira and grateful to Oxford Economics for this fantastic opportunity. A special thank you to everyone who provided guidance and support, helping to make her work placement such a success. This experience has clearly left a lasting impression on Keira, and we look forward to seeing her continue to excel in her journey toward a career in #Economics.

    Hello everyone, Today I took part of a virtual Apprenticeship Overview held by Career Compass. As a year 12 student interested in a legal apprenticeship, this hour long overview provided me with some great tips and tricks for when applying. Tatiana Middleton, from RateMyApprenticeship, was amazing at explaining the process of applying to apprenticeships and the benefits of choosing this route. Some helpful tools I learnt was using STAR when applying for jobs, apprenticeships, universities, etc. It stands for Situation Task Action Result. Use this strategy in the interview stage when asked about past experiences and make sure to elaborate and be conhrerent when talking about it. I feel more confident about my knowledge on apprenticeships and am glad I joined today. :)

    Happy to hear that you found our CV Workshop insightful and helpful. Please do not hesitate to send your CV through to info@career-compass.co.uk for FREE tailored feedback #careeradvice #CVHelp #mentoring #sixthform

    Hey network! Today I had the amazing opportunity to participate in a virtual CV Workshop held by Career Compass and lead by Katie Linshits-Adaya. The workshop was highly informative on how to write a good CV and detailed on what to include, the format and what to not include. The workshop gave details on how to make your CV stand out in the few seconds an employer would take to scan over it, which emphasised the importance of keeping a CV brief and including key pieces of information. This stood out to me the most as it highlighted how a perfect candidate could be overlooked due to their CV not being formatted or layed out in a certain away. I am ever so grateful to Career Compass and Katie Linshits-Adaya , along with the industry professionals who featured in select videos as I have now gained a better understanding towards how to write a suitable and stand out CV.
