Rachael Featherstone: Freelance Writer and Author

She then rotated into Fixed Income Research where she specialised in inflation products, writing and publishing research articles on the financial markets. Rachael was promoted to Associate as part of the Accelerated Career Path programme.
During her time in banking Rachael was heavily involved in the graduate recruitment process, screening CVs and interviewing candidates for internships and full-time analyst/ associate positions. She was appointed as the Vice-Captain of the Oxford recruitment team.
