Tell us about yourself?
I currently live in Washington DC in the USA, having spent 8 years in the West country (Bristol)
I joined Softcat straight out of Cardiff Metropolitan University on the Graduate program, based in the Bristol office and have never looked back. I love the outdoors, barbequing and all sports!
What drew you to apply at Softcat?
As a motivated business management graduate, I was looking for a place where I could grow professionally while enjoying the journey, Softcat stood out as the perfect fit. The opportunity to develop within a fun, fast-paced, and supportive environment is what appealed to me.
Knowing what you know now, what advice would you give yourself at the start of the recruitment process?
I would say before applying, take a step back and really reflect on your strengths, what makes you unique compared to others? Then lean into those qualities with confidence. It’s easy to get caught up in what you think companies want to hear, but being authentic and self-aware goes a long way.
