So you’ve been working on getting your degree, you’ve nailed your networking skills, you’ve made connections and you’re ready to enter the workforce. How do you do that? Where should you apply for roles? What roles should you apply for? And the question we’ve all asked at least once in our lives - how do you get experience, without having prior experience?

In this episode we speak to Alisdair Barr, the Founder of Striver, a HR-Tech platform designed to help graduates and financial planning employers connect. Alisdair provides a wealth of great advice for those looking to get their foot in the door, and shares excellent tidbits of wisdom from his extensive experience in helping graduates find their first role in financial planning. We talk about everything from approaching employers, marketing yourself, salary expectations, resume tips, and interview etiquette.

This episode is all about giving you the guidance you need to confidently and successfully land your first role in financial planning. Alisdair uses his experience both in placing graduates in roles, and being a graduate himself, to provide you with the best advice for starting your career journey.
