10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Barclays?

Before joining Barclays as an apprentice I was in a really difficult place as university just seemed to be the only available next step for me as a sixth for student but I just knew I wasn’t ready at that time. So many things were running through my mind and I would ask myself questions to what I really wanted but I am so happy I chose Barclays, throughout the whole experience the people around me were so supportive in helping achieving my dreams, I finally got there.
