 Hi, my name is Cary Ann Jones. I live in Harlow Essex. I live in my final year at the University of Greenwich studying economics with banking. I'd say the trust that the students have with their lecturers. I love that I can go to my lecturers for support. I can email at any time of the day and I know that they're always there to help me every step of the way. And I also love the view across the terms. It's very beautiful. Economics is constantly evolving and you can always relate it to what's going on with the current world affairs. So, whether this be supply and demand, I can rate this to what's currently happening and I can use it with my essays and further my understanding of what's going on in the current world. I can honestly say that every lecture I've come across really, really cares for each student that they're teaching, which is extremely important in your higher education studies. My favourite module would have to be my second year quantitative methods for economists with Edna Solomon. Her passion for the quantitative module was very, very evident and clear from the beginning. With economics, you would think that the career options after you graduate are very small. So, when I first came to the university, I thought that I can just be an economist. But after being in every single module, I've learnt that there are so many different opportunities and career paths that I can go down once I've finished my degree. I found the overall process very, very difficult. I was getting a lot and a lot of rejections, unfortunately. I met a BSEO previous champion, Nora Horne, who had previously finished her placement year at Microsoft. She said to me, have you ever thought about doing a placement year in tech? That same afternoon, I went home and I applied for Microsoft on the placement year. Luckily, I was able to pass both the telephone stage and the interview stage, and I was given the placement year at Microsoft. I was a customer success account manager intern, otherwise known as a CSAM, and I was aligned to the public sector. So, I worked with the Ministry of Defence, the NHS and the NHS Wales as well. So, after completing my year in tech, I've been thinking about how I can best combine a role where I can have my love for technology and also utilise my economics with banking degree. So, at the moment, I've come up with the idea of working in fintech. If I didn't work in fintech, I would either pursue one of the career paths or using my degree and working in a bank to lean on the university for support. Visit your BSEO office for career support. Go to the library for support with academic journals and books on how to best find them. Get a mentor. I've had a mentor at JP Morgan Barclays Bank. These are all three aspects that you can use from the university. Utilise as many of the opportunities as you can. Also, have fun. Your university years are very, very special to you, and make the most of it while you can.
