I like meeting new people every day and I love my peer group. I enjoy going to work events and socialising. I enjoy travelling to different parts of the UK that I haven't been to before. When travelling, I love the team environment inside and outside of work.

My managers regularly reward my hard work through nominating me for Limelight awards - which recognise employees who have added value to the firm. I regularly get feedback from my line managers about my progress and areas of improvement. I am responsible for a number of client deliverables which make me feel very valued.

Make sure you do relevant work experience when you are in sixth form. Make sure to ask questions about the type of work you will be doing. During the assessment days, take a leadership role but let other people voice there opinions and listen to others. Ask about your induction process if successful and ask about opportunities outside out client projects.
