About You
Really enjoyable, the perfect balance of time working in my department and activities such as contract drafting and networking, as well as highly enjoyable social activities.
Extremely friendly graduate recruitment staff, and even though my supervisor and trainee buddy were extremely busy, they did their best to make me feel welcome and valued.
My department was extremely busy and for this reason I perhaps received a little less guidance and support than I might otherwise have. Nonetheless, my supervisor and trainee buddy were extremely helpful whenever I had a query and did their best to help where they could.
The experience and skills that I have developed will be invaluable, teaching me how many of the academic skills that I already have, apply in a practical commercial context.
The Company
The scheme was extremely well structured. The week was well mapped out with a variety of activities and social events built around the time in my department.
The atmosphere was fantastic on the scheme. Really enjoyable.
