    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • Very interesting and informative. By best job every would probably be shopping non stop and eating all I wanted. That job does not exist, so this would be the second best option!

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • I wouldn't want to feel valued like family at somewhere I was working...so the fact that the firm was not all the way 'like family' is a good thing! I did feel very valued though.

    5/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • Any question I had was answered.

    5/5
  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Information on the insight helped me make an informed decision about what I want to do after my degree.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • Very well organised and well structured between interactive sessions and listening to speakers.

    5/5
  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?

    • It shouldn't be fun fun fun as that would give off the wrong perception of what that working environment was like- so that fact that it is not 'fun never stopped' is a good thing. I did have lots of fun moments though.

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

    • taught us lots about the different divisions and the skills needed in the industry. Considering it was an insight it would be inappropriate for the firm to commit to full training and development when people were using the week to decide if they wanted to enter the industry.

    5/5
  • 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?

    • Really showed me what life at the firm would be like.

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

    • Learnt lots about the culture of the company and what they expect of employees.

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

    • Very- confirmed to be this is definitely the career path I wish to pursue.

    5/5

    Everything Else

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

    • Would not expect to be paid.

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

    • Yes- multiple networking lunches, a networking dinner, and an opportunity to ask employees questions constantly in sessions.

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

    • Very helpful.

    5/5

    5/5
