Embarking on an employment journey after completing a degree is the start of an exciting journey. For me, armed with a degree in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics (PPE) from Swansea University, the path led me to Ruby Financial—a company that aligns with my skills, values, and career aspirations.
Education taught me more than just book smarts.
My academic journey commenced at Chosen Hill School and later extended to Swansea University. Studying PPE allowed me to gain a comprehensive understanding of the interplay between politics, philosophy, and economics in shaping our society. While immersing myself in my academics, I also actively engaged in extracurricular activities. From football and rugby to cricket and cross country, I discovered the joy of teamwork, discipline, and honing my physical abilities. University life introduced me to new horizons as a member of the Chess, Debating, and Poker Society, nurturing my critical thinking and strategic skills.
A Passion for people:
The financial sector, with its blend of analytical thinking and human relationships, stood out to me as an ideal match for my skills and aspirations. I have always possessed a natural affinity for customer service, and the opportunity to provide exceptional in-person care drew me to Ruby Financial. This company stands apart in its unwavering commitment to the needs of clients—an ethos that resonates deeply with my own beliefs.
Working at Ruby Financial:
Joining the team at Ruby Financial has been such a rewarding experience. Working alongside people with a wealth of knowledge and experience in the financial sector has been invaluable for me, being relatively new to the field. The smaller team size is great, fostering clear and open communication channels within the office. The team spirit is crucial in the short term, as collaboration and coordination play integral roles in success. The shared passion for excellence and success in the team creates a contagious motivation, inspiring us all to work diligently towards the best outcomes for clients.
My next steps:
Looking ahead, Ruby Financial offers tremendous opportunities for my professional growth. Through my apprenticeship, I not only gain a solid foundation in the financial sector but also into potential future career paths. By keeping my options open and embracing diverse experiences, I am confident in discovering the right trajectory for my long-term goals. At Ruby Financial, the focus on personal development and long-term progression resonates deeply with my aspirations, fueling my enthusiasm to contribute and excel.
