Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The first day involved introductory talks with stakeholders within Gateley.
In the afternoon you sat within your respective departments and were provided the opportunity to get involved in real work, which I enjoyed.
From day 2 , you had more virtual meetings with other departments were provided an insight into what they do.
You were also given additional tasks, and therefore needed to prioritise your time efficiently to make sure tasks were done before the given deadlines.
Day 4 involved having a training contract interview with two partners, who go through your experiences throughout the week, as well as motivation for applying to Gateley.
