Always keep an open-mind when making decisions, some of my best career moments have happened after I said yes to something that I wanted to say no to, being outside of your comfort zone is when you will learn the most! Create goals to ensure you have things to aspire and work towards, this will keep you on the right path and motivated. Prior to making big decisions, do your research, ask questions and don't worry if you don't understand something the first time - resilience is they key to success.

Career path

Communications

British Airways

From 10/2023 to 12/2024

Company

What do you like about your job and the company?

In my role there is lots of opportunities to promote the British Airways brand and being part of the team that enables this is highly rewarding. Seeing the impact that your work can make motivates me to continue to seek new opportunities and remain curious in my outlook as you never know what a small idea may lead to! I really enjoy when I get to work with various teams across the business to shape ideas and form plans - seeing the outcomes instils a lot of pride across teams.

Greatest achievements

In the first instance, securing the role at British Airways was a huge achievement, as a globally recognised brand with a rich history - this is something to be really proud of. Since joining I have been lucky enough to work on some exciting and meaningful projects, from celebrating 100 years of flying to India, shaping our corporate narrative, to organising multiple events to promote the brand and engage colleagues, media and government. Outside of my role I work to promote a career in aviation to young people to ensure we have a diverse pipeline of the aviators of tomorrow.

Let your personality shine - This is what will stand out to a potential employer. Other applicants may have just as much experience as you, but what they don’t have is your unique personality, so really bring that into your interview process. Do not let the job description scare you - it is ok to not tick all the boxes. Job descriptions are full of jargon and can be confusing to an outsider, do not let this put you off, if it is a role you think you are a match for, you are probably more than capable to perform in the role, and companies are likely to offer training to get you up to speed on the aspects you don’t yet have experience in. Don’t just be interviewed, do the interviewing – The potential employer want to ensure they are finding the right candidate, but you also need to be sure you are finding the right employer, don’t be afraid to ask questions and challenge the working environment. You spend most of your life at work, you need to be sure you are finding an environment that aligns with you personally. Be honest with yourself and the interviewer. A mantra of mine is to do a job you love. “Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.” – Steve Jobs
