    About You

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

    • It was very interesting and eye opening and the Hays employees that I met were extremely welcoming and nice

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

    • As soon as I walked in I was treated like an adult and although it was a surprise at first, I began to really engage and take on the role of a responsible adult.

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

    • During the various interviews and open days I was given a little briefing on what was happening beforehand but once it started it became rather self explanatory and with the briefing, I understood fully what was going on.

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

    • It provided me with a lot of insight into the variable careers I can go down due to the diversity within the jobs.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • It was extremely well organized with an open day in the morning where I could view the interviews and tasks given to the potential interns then in the afternoon I gave a presentation and went about doing various tasks for different people in the workspace

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

    • It was, in my opinion, an almost perfect balance between fun and work. When each person got a call they were solely committed to the task of befriending and getting a sale, each of the people had a laugh but knew when it was time to put their heads down and work. It was a light mood and everyone clearly knew and got along with each other making it easier for me to meet knew people.

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

    • The company spent quite a lot of their time giving me tips and tricks to help in communication to clients and I am grateful for the tasks and presentations I made after each day

    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?

    • I have got a vary good idea of the responsibilities within the different job levels.

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

    • The culture of the company is extremely friendly but hard working which was a great balance

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

    • It confirmed my already growing idea of working with people and helping them solve problems and I would love to visit again when I have more idea of what I want

    3/5
