MY ADVICE FOR GRADUATES

MY ADVICE FOR GRADUATES life after university Take yourself on holiday! After my last exam, I found something affordable on Love Holidays and went to Greece with my friend. This is when you'll have the most free time & a lot more disposable income! On the same note, make sure to have fun the summer/winter you graduate. I started my internship before graduating and then basically went straight into my first grad job. I'm grateful for the opportunities I had but realise I never got that 'final' summer holiday where I could do whatever I want without requesting AL. Use this time to figure out what's next & remember, there is no rush. Do you want to start working ASAP, do a masters, do something abroad, etc? If you want a job ASAP, there's two routes you can take: 1. start mass applying straight away 2. take more time to build your skills, knowledge, interests, etc, and softly apply during this time before going all in Whatever route you take, just make sure you don't apply to/accept a job out of desperation. If you can afford living at home a little longer or don't have growing financial obligations, take the journey as steady as possible. Don't compare yourself to others! Like myself, many of your peers will have jobs waiting for them after graduation. Also, internships at big companies are known to be quite glamorous. Everyone has their own journey and it's important you don't compromise yours in hopes of mirroring others. There are foundations that financially support students/graduates who have upcoming interviews/jobs with clothes, money, etc. If you need it, spend some time doing the research. I cringe looking back at my PLT-filled uni wardrobe, but it was all part of the journey in finding/expressing myself. A lot of what you own may be poor quality or no longer fit your vibe. I would start looking into building a staple wardrobe that will last you years and slowly start throwing away/donating your old clothes. You may be tempted to do a haul and completely transform your wardrobe, but it's best if you buy pieces here and there and slowly build. my page is the ultimate starter pack!
