I’d personally say my mindset and analytical approach to work is my biggest strength, I’m always competing with myself to do better than last time, identifying weak points and planning out how to overcome them, it’s helped me progress an awful lot since I started back in January.
After finishing a BSc in astrophysics I wanted to apply my analytical and mathematical skills in a more practical manner that was a bit more varied than traditional scientific research routes. Market research is plenty varied and fast-moving enough to keep me engaged and on my toes.
