Thanks man, appreciate that. new GOOD question...striking a good work/life balance is difficult and something that will evolve over time. In my first year on a graduate scheme, I basically lived to work! However I slowly realised that business is forever evolving and can never be "completed" so I've learnt to balance the two much better over time (working SMART not just hard!). Once you start work, after some time you'll find a routine that works for you.

Hey Ben, thanks for the comment. Are you struggling with the numerical & verbal reasoning tests? If so, it's all about practise, practise PRACTISE! I failed my first one however after taking a few practise tests online and using a couple of books with practise examples I was able to pass them. Your careers office may have some books to use however the resources I used were online or bought from Amazon.

@@AdamLuke Hi Adam, thanks for the reply! I wouldn't say I am struggling per say, I am very average. But I know to get on these schemes you have to be in the top 5% etc. Do you think they favour more crystallised intelligence than learning on the go as I am a learn over time sort of person which is why I feel I can't get past the tests to sum up! Thanks for the advice though!
@AdamLuke 3 жыл бұрын
@@Benjammiin95 Hi Ben, the ability to learn on the go is EXACTLY what they're looking for. Recruiters want a graduate who's eager and willing to learn that they can mould into a future leader. Majority of your training will be on-the-job training, meaning you learn by doing! You need a degree and to pass the numerical & verbal reasoning tests however besides that, it's more about you as an individual. Hope that helps!

If you focus on a few jobs that you really want, that should reduce the number of applications you have to do which will make it a little easier juggling everything.

I hear and understand clearly what you mean by reading from a script my interview recently wasn't successful and I believe it was due to this, I was over-prepared and wrote down everything I would say word for word but my question is... pre-recorded interviews? face to face isn't a problem but to pre-record a video interview and then send it is a little hard to not read from a script?
@AdamLuke 2 жыл бұрын
It's all about coming across as authentic, so providing you can read the script in a natural way then it'll be fine to simply read an answer. Ideally you can recite your answers from memory, that way you don't have to refer to your script and you can focus on saying it more naturally. If it's pre-recorded and you have a couple of attempts, I'd opt for a few bullet points and try improvise the rest. Best of luck if you have an interview!

Hi Adam! I just stumbled across your video while searching for tips for graduate programs. I wanted to ask you something. I'm applying for graduate programs this year but I completed my undergraduate degree in 2017. I then went to pursue a Postgraduate Diploma and Postgraduate Advanced Diploma in Chinese language and then I went to China for an year to study in a full time Non-Degree program. I just finished that course in July and now I'm looking for jobs. I have less than 3 months of full time work ex but tons of internships since I was in different universities for 6 years straight. Do you think I'll be eligible for graduate programs in UK considering my undergrad degree was 3 years ago. And if yes, would it be a good idea to explain my educational background in my cover letter?
@AdamLuke 3 жыл бұрын
Hi, thanks for the question - your educational background is exactly what recruiters want to see on a CV! Speaking from experience, I had been graduated 2 years before starting my programme (I actually believe the extra couple of years experience helped secure my scheme). So yes, I believe you'll definitely be eligible and if you believe it's relevant then mention your further education in your cover letter. I would focus on your experience on internships as companies will love you already have experience in the corporate world.
