    I think what Josh said about preparing your inner confidence is something that everyone should do for every career opportunity. Learn from your experienced colleagues and know that you also have something to add and you're there for a reason. Great conversations Vee.

    Civil service apprenticeships are another really good way to get started in the civil service and learn and progress quickly. I was unsuccessful for fast stream after finishing my masters but now do a policy apprenticeship in the CPS. And I'm not based in London- my team are all over the UK and there definitely is an effort to move outside of London!

    My friend from school is a civil servant now and got the chance to move abroad to work and then return to London. She hates it now and wished that she did something more creative. Others love it, it's interesting to get different perspectives! You seem to be having a great time and I hope you enjoy vee!!!

    what a lovely video :D people feel so much stress when they don't know exactly what to do out of high school but you would be lucky if you witnessed 0.5% of all the jobs out there at your school's career fair. not even to mention all the jobs that haven't even been invented yet. I hope people see this and continue to be curious about their careers, great job Vee!

    So do you do as your asked to do or are you the sort of civil servant who if you don't agree with what your told to do you won't do it. Just like the scummy servants who say they won't send illegal immigrants back because they think its wrong.
