    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • I thoroughly enjoyed the insight. The career inspiration week gave me the opportunity to experience and learn about many different jobs and fields within the energy industry. Before it, I wasn’t aware of such jobs such as energy trading. We were provided breakfast and lunch and well as goody bags, which was fantastic.

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • I felt very valued. There wasn’t many people so I could get the attention I needed when asking questions. We were given lunch and breakfast, as well as goody bags with obscure gifts such as a torch, portable charger and and MP3 player. I really liked the building we we’re in the too, it was modern and clean.

    5/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • If I had any questions I could easily ask one of the supervisors or people coming in to talk to us about their job. Each job was explained in detail and let us take part in interactive, fun games and activities to further educate our knowledge. They gave me the support I needed.

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • I had gained a lot of knowledge from the different people that came in to talk to us. I now have an interest in trading and the experience has consolidated the prospect of me doing maths at university. After university I would love to work for E.ON because I think they are a very reputable company

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • The insight was very well structured. There was a clear outline of how the week will go. On the first day we were given a plan of the week ahead. This meant every night I could see what sort of activities we will be doing the following day, so I could have questions prepared.

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • The general atmosphere wasn’t very nice and friendly. People were willing to chat to me and start a conversation. I met new friends and met people who I wouldn’t have otherwise spoken to in the real world. All the staff who came to talk to us were very friendly and helpful.
