    About You

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

    • I met a lot of new and interesting people during the Spring Week. The organisation of the programme was carried out very professionally and I was provided with valuable insights into the business. The only that I missed during this insight was work shadowing which would have provided us with a hands-on work experience.

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

    • Every person I met was very open and honest about their jobs at the firm. They answered questions thoroughly and did not shy away from any question.

    4/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • The programme was set up so that almost no prior knowledge was required and participants were encouraged to ask any question they might have, no matter how basic it might seem.

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

    • This programme provided me with insights which will be very useful in planning my carreer.

    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?

    • As we were not doing any work shadowing, we only got insights into the daily work of employees during our networking sessions. However, we did a project which was supposed to give us a taste of what employees might do.

    4/5
