🌱 Here’s a bit about my journey... After graduating from university in 2015, I struggled to get a job. As someone from a mixed heritage, second-generation immigrant background, I struggled to find role models and lacked connections. I was rejected a lot and felt lost. 6 months later I finally got my first job in sales. But honestly, I hated it, and eventually had to quit for my mental health. So here I was, one year after graduating, with no job and no hope. I used the time to self-reflect and decided to aim for the biggest and best tech/telco companies in the UK. This time was different. I realised that visibility was more important than ability. I transformed my mindset, job search and networking strategy, choosing quality over quantity. It worked! I got interviews & job offers from: BT, Vodafone, Sky, Virgin Media and Amazon and landed my dream job on the BT grad scheme. It was one of the happiest days of my life getting that call! 💫 Gradvance was born with the mission to help student and graduates land their dream jobs in the UK. I’m proud to say that we’ve helped 300+ people land jobs at Google, TikTok, BT, Vodafone, Amazon, EY, Deloitte, Fujitsu, L’Oréal, Johnson & Johnson and more!
