    Nothing safe is worth the drive (TC version)

    Thank you!! The members of the team I met during the interviews were all really lovely so I'm looking forward to meeting the rest. Surreal is definitely the word for it - I don't think it's going to feel fully real until my first day!

    Nothing safe is worth the drive (TC version)

    After my last update, I was offered two more interviews at different firms... which is good because the first invitation to an interview was withdrawn (the firm emailed saying they'd filled the role internally but then put the job advertisement back out again so... no idea what happened there)...

    Nothing safe is worth the drive (TC version)

    First update to get the ball rolling: This week's goal is to apply for a couple work experience opportunities and jobs. I also have a volunteering thing to sign up for and should be expecting a grade back this week from one of my final modules. I also aim to devise a plan as to what weeks I...

    Nothing safe is worth the drive (TC version)

    Hey!! I thought it might be fun to turn what is likely going to be a long journey into a thread so that maybe others feel a little less alone?? Also because, to be brutally honest, if I don't have something to hold me accountable, I will procrastinate :') I figured I should probably set the...
