Worst

There is very limited ways to explore different working sectors, for example I am in technology however I was placed in a specific role that while giving me experience in that role doesn't allow me to explore other areas of technology that I may wish to explore as future career pathways.

It is a long application be ready to put a lot of information and don't be afraid to speak from the heart

Do you have any interview tips?

Many people think during group work that they need to be the one speaking the most, but that isn't correct in a group work setting you need to show how you work as a team, ask for input of people speaking less, centre the conversation back to the task and be kind and respectful of everyone's opinions
