Fvck taking your national record of achievement, you arent 14 and applying for a weeks work experience at your local corner shop.The only thing people keep in them these days is old school crap.

Be prepared to talk about how your degree is relevant to them, what your skills are, why you want to work for them , your strengths and weaknesses (as mentioned) and why you are interested in the specific role.
