I am interested in consulting

Should’ve started applying from last year then, the competition now.. Goodluck

I am in year 13 😭

Ahhhh thought you were in 2nd year, my only advice is to start applying as soon as you get into 2nd year. Apply to anything that has to do with your course, the competition is ridiculous

Thanks 🙏 😊

Doing a placement will put you light years ahead of your course mates. It’s a sacrifice because you have an extra year in uni but it’s definitely worth it imo

Exactly why I am doing it. Hopefully at Liverpool in September, just need to get my a level grades

Don’t change your mind about it, even if your friends will be graduating early. Just focus on yourself and secure the placement. Best experience I’ve ever had and the company was so good and so were my coworkers

Hi @ilovespareribs,
I'm in second year of studying business and management ☺️, so I've been informed of the abundance of placements available to business and management students.
The first place I recommend looking is business you really admire and see if they have any placement years available. For examples I know people who have applied for placements at F1 teams, gym shark and more!
Rate my placement is a great site for finding placements and graduate schemes.
I hope this helps, please feel free to ask me any questions,
Sophia (Business and Management)
