    5/5
  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    4/5
  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?

    • People spoke about their personal experiences within several roles, which was good to hear about as it provided valuable insight into several different roles, and also gave a view of the day to day experiences with working in the firm, as well as some particular highlights of their careers.

    4/5
  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    5/5
  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?

    • It gave a very good overview of each job area, as well as specifically what it was technically speaking, and what is required overall and day to day within many roles, which helped me find out more about different sectors in more detail than is available online.

    5/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?

    • I believe that expenses could be claimed up to £50 but I am not sure how one would go about claiming them.

  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?

    • There was a lunch break with several employees that worked in different areas to chat to and get to know better.

    4/5
  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?

    • The lunch break networking was everything.

    3/5
  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?

    • They spoke about a charity work project related to the company, but other than that it was solely focused on the roles.

    2/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • It was a worthwhile use of a day and helped me to learn a lot about different roles very quickly, as well as understanding what it might be like to work there in the future.
