About You
The insight day included various activities which were all really interesting and helped to prepare me for the application process of BDO and similar firms.
Very valued.
We were encouraged to ask questions to the staff members that were present at the insight day. They gave me a lot of guidance on interview techniques/ application forms etc.
The skills I learnt helped me at an assessment centre I attended recently. I am using the information I gained at the insight day to help me prepare for upcoming interviews.
The Company
It was a very well structured day comprising talks from various people within the organisation, a commercial awareness activity and a quiz. We were told the outline of the day at the beginning.
It was great - we were always busy with a task or networking with staff from BDO.
The day in itself was an investment in the students who attended; the guidance I gained is helping me in job applications now.
We were told about various roles that were available to students and they explained what those roles would entail.
Yes - the staff there talked a lot about the culture of the company and explained how we could bring those details into interview situations.
Very helpful - I am now applying to large accounting firms for summer internships.
Everything Else
I was happy with the arrangements; I live locally so it didn't cost me a lot to attend the day.
Yes - several employees attended the day so we could ask them questions about their roles, the application process etc.
Very good
Yes - the staff on the day explained this.
Definitely!!!!!!
