• Trust your gut

• It doesn’t matter what you studied

• Be proactive (and learn from what works)

• Be flexible; take opportunities when they come – but don’t be impatient

• ‘Who you know’ is a real thing

• Remember the people who’ve done you well…

• It’s a small world

• Practical experience trumps academic
