    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • Really good, provided a lot of information about the potential jobs on offer as well as helping with applications and helping to develop commercial awareness. The chance to chat to current trainees was a highlight.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • I'm not sure that being valued is necessarily something I was looking for from the insight day but I certainly felt welcome and left very much of the opinion that I would apply for a training contract.

    5/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • This is what the day was all about for me and it certainly delivered - left feeling a lot more informed about the prospects on offer.

    5/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • Learning about PEST analysis was certainly useful but was a relatively small part of the day (and rightly so in my opinion).

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • Was very professional and well structured - the host was a very good presenter and she made us all feel very welcome even if the icebreaker: "what would your first album be called" was very difficult.

    5/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • It was friendly and informative.

    5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • 3/5

  • 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?
  • A very good insight was provided especially into areas I hadn't even considered previously like BDO drive which looks very interesting.

    5/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • Again, this was done very well - the current trainees helped with this a lot.

    5/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • 3/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • No reimbursement but perfectly justifiably in my opinion.


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • Yes there were, but only really with the current trainees, none of the other people who presented stuck around after they'd finished.

    4/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • 3/5

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

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • Absolutely, my experience was very positive.

    5/5
