This is the perfect time to brush up on those skills that you have been putting off for a long time. Make your CV stand out, learn how to nail those difficult interview questions and how to write the perfect email.

Yes, our world is upside down, everything has changed. The usual school routine has been interrupted. Are the exams going ahead? What about the MOCKs?

This is a good lesson to be learnt now: learn to be adaptable, learn how to make the best of any situation life throws at you.
Those work placements that you have (or not) been looking forward to are being cancelled our postponed, you are not sure you can improve on your predicted grades... So think outside the box: how can you shine?
