Take these small steps and boost your finance career

Hi , It's the last productive push before the Christmas break!  Now the seasonal celebrations of halloween and bonfire night are out of the way, it’s time to face your fears and start planning for your future, so you can make a bang in the financial sector. Sorry… in all seriousness, now is a good time to tick some productive boxes. Here’s the things to do, and the stories to watch, to keep your finance career plan ticking on over the December break.

Take these small steps and boost your finance career:  Attend an open day. Open days are so much more than a rare chance to snoop around a top financial services firm. If you attend one, you’ll be making a first impression a prospective place of work, meeting with existing employees and recruiters, and getting a picture of your future workplace. Make sure you're prepared with our tips. Figure out your career/uni balance. Keeping your grades up to scratch when you’re focusing on future job applications can be a difficult dance. But it doesn’t have to be. Take a deep breath, pop the kettle on, and let us guide you through it. Join your finance society. If you’ve not done this already, it’s not too late - get your membership sorted before term ends. When you’re benefitting from industry-specific careers fairs, networking opportunities and a chance to be on the committee, you’ll be glad you did.
