  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • Very valued, the staff at the venue were extremely accommodating and the firm itself were extremely supporting. Treated us like real people rather than selling the company to us and making us recognise that we would be valuable to them. Very engaging and enthusiastic, made us want to work there just by liking the representatives.

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?

    • Very. It identified my skillset and made me feel confident enough to work towards a senior role in a stimulating career. It was useful working alongside similar people who were very driven and intelligent, as they inspired me to work harder. Talking to the facilitators and other staff about their careers helped me see what experiences I could have.
