First Step Programme
Securing a new job is daunting at the best of times, so hopefully we can help.
We’ve put a programme in place to match graduates from the University of Bath’s Gold Scholarship Programme with prospective employers across the Southwest, complete free of charge.
Our Programme will run alongside our day to day recruitment operations, working with one ‘First Stepper’ to assist with CV writing, LinkedIn and brand visibility, networking, job applications, profile marketing and interview tips.
This service comes completely free of charge to the hiring company, and of course, the First Stepper.
If you’re a hiring manager in need of some exceptional junior talent, then please contact us to see how we can help.
In the meantime, keep reading below about the wonderful Chloe Chan, who is seeking a position starting in September in either a Finance Analyst or Data Analyst role.
Chloe Chan
What interests you about finance and analysis?
I really enjoy working with numbers and manipulating data to solve problems. I want to be able to apply analytical and critical thinking to understand how businesses are structured as well as how they are profitable. The strong attention to detail that is required in analysis highly appeals to me because I always ensure that I am thorough in my work and that I deliver to a timely and high standard. Finding patterns and trends in data excites me, and being able to draw conclusions from large datasets is something that I find extremely rewarding.
When you’re not studying or working, what do you like to do with your time?
I do a lot of dance in my free time. I am a part of the university dance society competition teams, rehearsing 6 hours a week, including extra rehearsals for any additional routines that I will be performing in the shows. Also, I attend the weekly dance classes to improve my technique, strength, and flexibility. Aside from dancing, I love to bake. My favourite thing to bake is either chocolate brownies or lemon drizzle cake, and tasting the final products is always fun too!
What would securing your First Step mean to you?
Securing my First Step would be extremely beneficial to me as it would enable me to start on my career journey. Since I am still unsure exactly what I would like to do, this First Step will allow me to experience an area of work that I could be very passionate about. Furthermore, it will help me to learn many new skills and techniques, as well as developing my knowledge and skill set through invaluable learning opportunities. Using the skills that I already have, I will be able to apply these to working professionally for an organisation to make a real difference. I am really hoping that I can secure my First Step in the next few months, and I am looking forward to demonstrating my capabilities in working for any organisation.
