Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the virtual experience and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
It involved hearing from BDO employees on what the company is like. We could ask them anything we wanted and would always receive great answers. There were presentations and activities intended to aid and reflection and even understand ourselves better.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was really great as we were told what characteristics and skills were needed for each role. This helped us attendees identify which role suits us and our goals. This in tandem with the self reflection activities certainly helped to clarify some of the career options available.
