“<br />
Being self-aware and knowing<br />
where your strengths lie is<br />
critical. You also need to be<br />
willing to try new approaches<br />
and look to develop your<br />
blind spots. There is no one<br />
personality fit for GSK - not<br />
all people are necessarily<br />
gregarious or outgoing, but<br />
you do have to be confident/<br />
capable, and be willing<br />
to learn and work across<br />
boundaries.<br />
”<br />
Leila Molana-Allen<br />
Video Journalist, The Economist<br />
“<br />
Don’t be proud, and be willing<br />
to try a variety of things<br />
to build your skill set. Be<br />
charming, work hard, don’t<br />
expect to be handed anything<br />
and most importantly, be<br />
as co-operative as you are<br />
competitive. Ask everyone for<br />
help, and help everyone who<br />
asks.<br />
”<br />
Leila studied Ancient and Modern<br />
History at Balliol Colege, 2010.<br />

Miranda Hadfield<br />
Associate - The Boston<br />
Consulting Group<br />
Pursue what you are<br />
interested in outside your<br />
studies and try to get a feel<br />
for which industries would<br />
suit you. All these diverse<br />
experiences will be interesting<br />
for consultancies. I worked<br />
for the <strong>Oxford</strong> Hub whilst an<br />
undergraduate and it was<br />
important to me that BCG has<br />
a large social impact practice<br />
and opportunities to pursue<br />
secondments in the social<br />
sector.<br />
”<br />
Miranda studied Modern Languages<br />
at St Anne’s College (2011)<br />
Gina studied Geography at St Peter’s<br />
