Last time I posted I was in a panic on what to do about the role I have been offered as part of my grad scheme that would have me moving to London for six months. I'm sure you can guess by the title, but I've confirmed a tiny studio in London and will be... Continue Reading →
I am now about halfway through the second of my four six-month rotations in my graduate scheme. I have just had it confirmed that my third placement beginning in September will be at an industry-related company in central London! Now, I'm feeling a lot of things and have so many options. Covid-19 has changed how... Continue Reading →
When my final year of uni started in September 2019, I had no idea what kind of year was in store. Here is a list of what I had planned to do and if I managed it. Get a first class: Well, not quite. When I left for my placement I was on a high... Continue Reading →
Gosh, I totally let this blog go to the wayside! My final year started September 2019 and it was a lot more intense than I expected (may write about that another time), especially when halfway through a casual global pandemic struck. I remember being so focused on finding a job and moving out when I... Continue Reading →
Been thinking about this since I've been working through every single summer since college and don't even have the savings to back it up. But with my current summer being yet another full one of interviews and full work-days, it makes me wonder how I'll be able to finally enjoy the last long summer I'll... Continue Reading →
Since I’m hoping to become a chartered engineer down the line, it would make sense that I wouldn’t mind being in charge of a team of engineers at some point. That is why evidence of leadership is so important for the chartership application, and in turn the graduate applications as well. It’s a bit odd... Continue Reading →
Thought it would be better for me to have these lists spaced out for future reference (obviously for your benefit also), so this is my general hopes for my time come graduation. So my hopes are that I find a graduate job. That’s the one goal that is above and beyond, and I would really... Continue Reading →
As I had previously mentioned, I am beginning to have a better idea of what my next steps could be. Well, honestly, it’s more of a rough outline as with each step, I have no real idea how it will actually turn out in the end. So I’ll be returning to university to complete my... Continue Reading →
Tomorrow is my last day of placement as I used up all of my remaining holiday to finish earlier. Soon it will be summer, which involves summer work and some holidays, so I am definitely looking forward to that. However, I can’t help but feel sad that I’m having to return to university again after... Continue Reading →
This coming September will begin the long slog of graduate applications for every scheme under the Sun that sounds mildly appealing and relevant to my interests/course. It’s a scary thought, especially when you consider that you will be living in a completely new area for at least a year or two, depending on the scheme,... Continue Reading →
So I’m sure you’re all aware of the statistics being thrown around that only 50% of young people (aged 20-29) have any savings, and another large chunk of those that do have anything stashed away have less than £1000. Well it seems like no surprise to most as trying to save in the current rental... Continue Reading →
So I’ve been posting about my worries of completing a masters, and even rejoicing over the idea of doing a part-time or distance learning masters. Those options let me complete the masters whilst working full time, which to other people sounds like hell on earth. So why don’t I want to just do one extra... Continue Reading →
