The Role
I had a lot of fun meeting many new people and learnt what the company might do in a typical day. They were very enthusiastic and fed us VERY well.
Everyone appreciated the other attendees and the people taking the insight day were very enthusiastic and rewarding
They gave us the gist of what had to be done but let us do some unassisted teamwork on how to get it done. Then they told each of us what they thought we did very well on and what we could improve on
only one day placement so kept on the go but not too overwhelming
We were in teams for the day so all had same responsibility but some used it more than others.
We weren't taught any new skills as such, but just experienced working with a client and learnt some presentational skills. Gave me an idea of the business and if I'd like it
The Company
Buzzing, enthusiastic
everything flowed from task to task and they arranged a 'meet the professionals' at the end of the day
Hard to excel in this area as only one day course.
Subsidised Canteen
Healthcare/Dental
Extremely keen for everyone to keep in touch with them. A very good way in
The Culture
Everyone was great!
