Previous work experience isn’t essential, but we’ll still need to assess if you have the right attitude and passion for Lloyds Banking Group and the apprenticeship you’ve applied for. You’ll need to show us what other things you’ve done and the skills and experience you’ve gained from other activities – whether it’s volunteering or captaining a sports team.
For example, if you play sport you may be able to talk about being a team player or managing a team or having to commit to train and attend practice, and managing your school / college work alongside your sport. If you’ve done a Duke of Edinburgh award or any volunteering work, you can talk about your experience doing this. If you’ve had a part-time or summer job, you can talk about what this has taught you. The job itself isn’t important.
What we’re interested in, is if you can transfer the skills, knowledge and experience you’ve gained to working in a professional environment like ours. It’s who you are and what you can offer that matters.
