How building your skills at university can help your land your first job

Welcome to the first episode of the Skillscast, from the University of Warwick's Skills Team.

Our guest this episode is Fay Inverarity, who graduated from Warwick in the summer of 2022 and secured a place on the graduate scheme at Barclays Bank and who did an incredible amount of skills development while studying here.


In this chat, Fay shares some great insights about how to develop your skills while at University. Among other things, Fay shares how she’s found her first year of work, she talks about how she went about developing a range of skills while studying here, and reflects on the importance of, well, reflecting on your own skills development – particularly when thinking about applying and interviewing for jobs.


If you enjoy this interview, please share it with a friend and consider following the show so you don’t miss any future episodes. You can find The Skillscast on Spotify, Apple, or wherever else you get your podcasts.


We'll be back in two weeks.
