10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Softcat?

You need to understand the role, it is a calling and grafting role, if you cant do this, don't apply. you need to understand it will be challenging and there will be moments of weakness where you want to quit. If you are confident, outgoing, chatty and wanting to aim high, this is for you.
