The format is Simple! – Chat about your career and the route you took to get where you are today. What have you learnt on the way? Are there any pit falls? What are your career highs and lows?
We ask our contributors to pitch their answers around overcoming adversity, gaining confidence and defying expectations and to give some tangible facts as to how students can access the industry and what they need to do to get ahead of the game.
