In my Deloitte interview, the interviewer was asking me questions about a time when I've made an impact. I talked about Zero Gravity and he loved it. We found like a common ground because he had volunteered at school teaching Maths. It was really nice to find that connection with the interviewer.

My mentor helped tailor my CV to the jobs I wanted to apply to and gave me advice on how to flesh out my CV with volunteering as I had no official experience. He also tasked me with weekly activities about what we discussed in the meetings inspiring me to work on revision to better understand certain topics! Overall, I was happy with my mentor.
