If you joined one of the world’s largest consultancies, what could you achieve?

Dissertation? Exams? Job Search? Where to start…

First and foremost, we believe your dissertation and exams come first. This is your first hurdle to getting your dream graduate job so this needs to be spot on.

Furthermore, we really do understand how hard it is to fit everything in around job hunting so here are some top tips from us to you:

•  Set up a timetable - treat job hunting as a break from your dissertation/revision, follow your timetable, make sure you put enough time aside for university work but also make sure you spend maybe an hour a day completing a job application.
•  Use your University Careers service – we work with many Universities over the UK and we know they are incredibly helpful when it comes to balancing University work with your job hunting. Let them help you and guide you with your applications.
•  Get peers/family to review your applications – when you submit so many applications, it’s good to get a second opinion, just to make sure you haven’t made any damaging mistakes.

Finally and probably most importantly: take a break – make sure you don’t over work yourself, go out with friends, just be confident that you have that correct balance of work/social life.
