On Wednesday I had the privilege of attending Birmingham University's Part-Time careers fair. A great initiative focused on helping students gain transferable skills and earn money whilst they work towards their career goals. This is by far my favourite careers fair because: 👉🏾 Over 700 students register to attend. 👉🏾 Over 75% of students that attend are from ethnic backgrounds. 👉🏾 I improve brand awareness within the community and promote Screwfix as an employer of choice. I also shared some hints and tips with the students on how to navigate the application process including: ✅Tell us the hours you CAN work, not what you WOULD like to work. ✅Study the job description beforehand and ensure your CV draws out some of the skills we are looking for. ✅You all have experience so think about times when you have worked in a team, communicated with different people or had deadlines to meet - it doesn't always have to be previous retail experience! What do you do to help the next generation navigate job hunting? Share your tips below 👇🏾

In the 20 minutes between the end of the career fair and the start of a 3.5-day weekend, I'll be tasked with engaging 500 high schoolers on topics such as career readiness, taking responsibility for their education, getting involved, and life after high school. While I have a few themes in mind, I'm curious: if you could go back and offer advice to your 14-18-year-old self, what would it be?
