Final thoughts

Mentoring can be a huge catalyst for success; we’ll discuss how to find an appropriate mentor, and how to get the most of out of mentoring.

We follow with some points on repeat applications, and then some advice on how to handle rejection and handling multiple offers for those in the fortunate position of having them.

We provide some food for thought about social media and good judgement, ending with some closing remarks (a mop-up page) and Guide FAQs to address any burning questions you may have.
