We’re continuing the theme of experimentation with this episode of the Reframe & Reset Your Career podcast and aiming this episode at undergraduates and recent graduates looking to get their big break and succeed in the working world. I discussed this and so much more with Rahul De Silva, a student at the University of Oxford on Episode 105 of the Reframe & Reset Your Career podcast.

In this episode, we will learn about:

Overcoming procrastination and anxiety about your job search,

Reframing rejection and building resilience,

Becoming aware of your emotions and putting them into perspective,

Why it’s important to just start and not overthink,

Building your personal brand,

Focus on your own progress and don’t compare yourself to others,

Identify your strengths and how you stand out rather than simply focus on your passion,

The importance of growth mindset,

Ideas to help you network and build connections and

The value of small talk and developing soft skills.

Rahul is a 2nd year engineering student at the University of Oxford, who aspires to specialise within the intersection between healthcare and engineering.

Outside his studies, Rahul enjoys playing and coaching cricket and cooking for his hungry parents and brother. For full disclosure, Rahul is a family member but he is the only undergraduate that I could find at short notice!
