Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
This was a completely virtual event run on zoom and consisted of 4 days of panel talks, recruitment tips and introductions into different sectors of HSBC technology.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Business insight was great as there were a large range of employees, spanning across departments and levels of rank. We had the opportunity and were encouraged to ask any questions we had and even network with such employees during a speed networking event.

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to HSBC
You don't need to have a technology background to apply to this event, even if it is a technology-oriented event. It was emphasised that training is provided to all new employees on their graduate schemes or otherwise, and a lot of support was available for such employees.
