I am on the other side of this- a new grad sending out Connection requests and Linkedln messages to professionals- strangers in fact! Through this, I've met the kindest people that have taken the time to share advice and coach me through my countless applications, sparing their own free time to help a complete stranger. Despite each of your busy schedules, so many of you manage to respond carefully to countless questions, help review CVs and cover letters and give heartfelt and motivating advice on tackling the post grad job search. These people see others' success as their own, and uplifting others is a second nature to them, because their kindness and empathy is intrinsic. Any team is blessed to have people like these on their side! So to everyone who has taken the time to respond to me- and I wish I could fit everyone on here- a great big thank you! It's people like these that make the tough post-graduation job search manageable, and I am extremely grateful. 💙 Demi Alade Matthew Cudmore Zainah Jamil Reem Al Tarbaghia Aidan Newell Farah Ibrar Holly Smith Sam Riley Victoria Mason LLB Jonathan Smith Francis Chamberlain Dunia Eltaief Armaan Ubhi Zohaib Azam Catherine Roberts Karen Sum Bejon J.
