Gradvice: October

Our #GRADVICE is an exclusive feature that involves sharing weekly advice, tips and tricks for the benefit of fresh university graduates. So we’ve compiled all of our #GRADVICE for October…

1. A job is a personal journey

…and an opportunity to grow as a human being and discover what you’re good at. Find out what you love to do and what you don’t. Discover this, and you’ll have a lifelong passion! 

2. Honesty is the best policy…

…if you’re not sure about something, ask. If you’ve made a mistake, tell your Manager. A willingness to learn is valued. Learning from mistakes is as important as your success!

3. Patience is a virtue…

…and it won’t be easy but you must begin your career somewhere. Put one foot on the ladder and don’t give up. The best is yet to be discovered!

4. Be open to change…

…try to not be discouraged when a job you really really wanted doesn’t work out. All it is doing is simply opening doors to bigger and better opportunities!


Our #GRADVICE tips will continue to be released weekly on our social media platforms, so make sure you’re checking regularly. Follow us on Instagram here if you’re not already!
