About You
I really enjoyed my time at RBS. Some aspects were more interesting than others but overall, it offered an invaluable insight into an exciting and evolving business.
All the employees were very friendly and helpful and all of those I shadowed, seemed to go above and beyond to try and make me feel more comfortable and offer a more interesting experience even though that had busy schedules.
We had members of staff and graduates who we job shadowed who were very helpful and supportive and also during our presentation work we had a member of staff who assisted and assessed us.
I learnt a very valuable skill set during this week. The most important thing I learnt was that RBS value further qualifications and characteristics that make possible employees stand out. I also learnt that at any point you can change your career path and this flexibility inspired me to explore my options further.
The Company
The days were organised very well and everything ran on time. In addition the variation in activities allowed an insight into many aspects of RBS
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at RBS. All members off staff were exceedingly friendly and all were more than willing to help. Furthermore, the general atmosphere between people you didn't directly meet seemed very friendly and relaxed and helped me confirm that this is exactly the type of organistion I would enjoy working for.
They helped us develop our networking skills via several networking sessions with mentors and also our presentation skills via the same method.
Being able to personally experience many of the areas of the business really helped me to understand what it would feel like to work here full time.
It was very helpful.
The job shadowing sessions were more helpful than others.
Everything Else
Travel and food costs reimbursed.
Yes during job shadowing and networking drinks.
Very helpful and useful
Not in much detail but they briefly mentioned activites they enjoy.
