Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the virtual experience and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
My service line was Management Consulting.
There were pre-planned talks (induction, mental health, people's network), fun social activities (virtual, yoga), opportunities to network (30 minute calls with different employees) and a buddy from my service line to shadow (meetings, catch-ups, tasks).

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
I've learnt all about my service line (Management Consulting), which was very helpful as some online forums can be vague. I was able to practice my networking skills and making contacts. I enjoyed the opportunity to ask a lot of questions and have discussions with more senior individuals.
