Levels Missed, Clearing Jumpstarted My Career

A Level results day is fast approaching, and it's a nerve-wracking time for anyone waiting to hear the outcome.
For some, there's elation. For others, like Bethany Long, from Wellington in Shropshire, there's disappointment - and the architecture hopeful remembers the disappointment of 'not doing very well'.
But after signing up to the University of Plymouth's Clearing hotline, she received a call to support her through a potential application to study in Britain's Ocean City - and she describes the subsequent three years of study and post-graduation support as the springboard she needed to excel in her career.
Now working as an Architectural Assistant for Associated Architects in Birmingham, she is the Vice-President of the Birmingham Architectural Association (BAA) and leads their Women in Architecture (WIA) Focus Group to encourage more women into positions of leadership, and is reassuring prospective students that they still have the control and support to excel if they go through Clearing.
