1. Applying for Jobs

You've got the degree, but do you have what it takes to land your dream job in the financial sector? Ditch the self-doubt and step outside your comfort zone as hosts Jamie Hopkins and Dr. David Rhoiney share valuable insights and personal anecdotes from their own career transitions.
Ever considered applying for a job you're not wholly qualified for? Embrace risk, champion your relevant experience, and remember that a degree does not necessarily equate to job readiness. As we explore our personal narratives, we emphasize the importance of persistence, a hunger for knowledge, and the courage to explore what lies beyond your comfort zone. However, we also acknowledge the limitations of this approach – after all, there's only so far that audacity can take you without the requisite skills and qualifications.
So, tune in, tap into Jamie and David's wealth of knowledge, engage in stimulating discussions, and gain a unique perspective on navigating the job market. We can't wait to share this journey with you.
