Communication skills with unfamiliar faces. Improved questioning process and aLTERNATE THINKING
Company Culture
How much did you learn about the company culture and what it would be like to work there?
3/5
I liked the level of involvement that the company seemed to be inspiring to create between the graduates. However, some of the mantras did feel as though they were ticking boxes rather than actually being viable options to take into the future.
Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees?
3/5
Yes i believe this was a good oppurtunity in this sense. Despite this, the fact that it was virtual made this more difficult. if the event could've been held in purpose it would have been better for this.
