Working as a library assistant changed my entire university experience

Why I almost did not apply:n

• I did not think I would get it
• I was worried about balancing it with my dissertation in semester two

nnWhat actually happened:n

• The library worked completely around my lecture timetable
• The team became some of my closest friends at university
• I became far more familiar with research databases than I ever would have otherwise — genuinely helped my dissertation
• I left with a strong professional reference for graduate job applications
