It’s ok not to know everything!
There are going to be a lot of things you don’t know – and couldn’t have known before starting the job. So, don’t put too much pressure on yourself to get it right first time, and don’t be afraid to ask questions.
Believe you can do it
Believing in yourself is key to achieving your goals. It will give you the confidence to do what needs to be done, and the resilience to try again when something doesn’t quite go the way you wanted it to.
Be proactive
You need to be proactive: ask questions, search for opportunities, network, and get involved in as much as you can. This will help you to develop your knowledge, expand your skillset and grow your experience.
Utilise your support networks
Graduate employers invest a lot of time into trying to make sure that you are supported from the moment you start with them. Their support networks will help you settle in and feel part of the community.
“If you have any questions, someone is there to help you...we have graduate buddies, buddies in each department, line managers and mentors” – Johnson Matthey
