The Inkling Volume 2

Are there any drawbacks and, if so, how do you navigate them?
Work is often thrown on me last minute and it can be extremely
stressful and overwhelming at times. There’s also a lot of pressure to
not make a mistake. One slip-up could jeopardise a whole project.
Also - while traveling can be fun - you miss out on fun things with
family and friends.
What advice could you give to someone who is interested in your field
of work? How could they get ahead already?
I was never the top in my class during school… but working hard,
being confident and taking on challenges was what helped me to get
ahead. Take on some work experience; build contacts; talk to people;
set yourself a goal and don’t be shy of reaching it. Top marks look
great on paper and will open a few doors initially, but showing people
that you really want to work hard - that you’re enthusiastic and that
you’re willing to succeed - is what ultimately makes the difference.
