About You
I had a really good week and learnt a lot but I just found some of the presentations less interesting.
They made it feel like they were really investing in us for the future.
HR were always around to help.
Everything I learnt about the financial services industry will be very useful for whatever job I choose to apply for.
The Company
We had a timetable from the beginning of the week including presentations, group excercises and work shadowing.
Sometimes felt very competitive which took away some of the enjoyment
Had lots of staff talk to us about their departments and help us develop different skills
Work shadowing was very helpful.
They seem to have a vey strong ethos.
I now know exactly what I want to do after university.
Everything Else
Tube and train fares
Everyday
Fun - including a dinner in the City
Some things to do with charity work.
