Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Unite Students
My piece of advice to any student going into the world of work would be to always be happy to try new things, always ask questions and never be afraid to say hello to new people. Building this social network of people is super important as it gives you incredible connections to the industry, as well as possible lifelong friends.
