What are the Best and Worst things about your job?
Best
Being able to work on a variety of really interesting place-based economic development projects. Getting plenty of training opportunities to learn all the technical skills required to be an economic development consultant, while having plenty of responsibility to utilise new skills and expertise to carry out the bulk of project work with support from teams. Attending meetings and workshops and consulting with stakeholders in finding the right solutions. We also have a new low carbon and climate resilience team to help in the transition to net zero and future proofing the economy and jobs - I'm really looking forward to getting further involved with this.
Worst
It can be very busy and sometimes reasonably high pressure - managing your time to stay ahead is a key challenge!

What advice would you give to someone applying to this role?
Be yourself! Show off your experience, why what you learnt at uni brings the necessary and desired skills for this role.
Do you have any interview tips?
Generally across Steer it applies that you want to show good communication skills and that you're enthusiastic, hardworking intelligent and interested to learn. Make sure you make it clear what it is about Steer that makes you want to work here, perhaps any industry-specific knowledge or experience you have you're hoping to build on. If you're interviewing for the Steer Economic Development graduate scheme, I would recommend knowing about the general economic impacts of big sectoral changes to an area - such as a particular large manufacturer shutting down - that's a classic economic consultancy question! Having an understanding of quantitative and qualitative analysis and being able to explain this in the interview will be useful too.
