What advice would you give to someone applying to this role?

Go for it! Even if you don't have all of the required experience/skills if you show that you are willing to put the work in and have other transferable skills i would definitely still apply.

I attended a university careers event with a member of our HR team and i asked what was it that we looked for in graduates and its not just top grade students we look for. It's the little things like those who have also had a part time job alongside uni as it shows that they are hard workers and commitment.

Do you have any interview tips?

Be yourself
Ask questions (you are also interviewing the company and you want to make sure that they are a good fit for you) it also shows that you are invested!
