Recommendations & Advice

Yes
Why?
The BBC treats it's employees with respect and the made the whole apprentice experience unforgettable. I've learnt so much in such a short period of time. I'd also like to add, as a disabled women, I've also never felt that I've been shoved to the side or never felt that the BBC is inaccessible. They have made every effort to make sure that I am able to work to the best of my ability.

Good Luck! Remember to be yourself and do your research before applying and before the interview!!!!
