Being at university can be exciting, fun and life-expanding – however for most people there are also a lot of challenges to be overcome and demands to balance.
These are some frequently heard concerns from students when starting their job or work experience search:
- How can I make sure that I do well in my studies but also get extra-curricular experiences like volunteering, and work experience?
- How do I get the confidence to even apply for opportunities that are so competitive? I don’t want to fail.
- How can I deal positively with rejections from applications and interviews – so I learn from them and move on?
To move forward with any of the above, and to cope with other challenges in life that might come your way – we must develop resilience.
