RVU

What team do you currently work in?

I currently work in the SEO team for Mojo Mortgages.

Which teams have you worked in previously?

None, this is my first rotation.

What is your favourite thing about the RVU Grad Program?

Being able to be part of three different teams before graduating lets you develop all the skills you need to hit the ground running in whatever you decide your permanent role will be in the future. You’re introduced to all the different departments within the company, meaning you’ll be able to make an informed decision before deciding where to rotate next.

What is your advice to someone applying to join the RVU Grad Program?

Get to know what all the departments do no matter your first rotation so you have a clear idea of where to rotate next. There are a lot of different teams so it might take a bit of time to understand how they all work together.

My favourite thing about the RVU Grad Programme is how much autonomy and ownership you have over the work you are doing - it’s really exciting to feel that you are a valuable member of the business so early on. I also really like the flexible approach to rotations; rather than a rigid structure that has to be followed by everyone, you have more of a say in your rotations, taking into account where your interests and skills lie.

What is your advice to someone applying to join the RVU Grad programme?

Take time to find out as much as you can about RVU - where it started, the different businesses, the goals and culture - so you have a basic understanding of the business and can start to figure out if it’s the right fit for you. I would also advise you to be yourself and be open minded through the application process!
