Overview of the Experience
Please give an overview of what your work experience involved:
4/5
We got to hear from various professionals and they helped us to advance our skills. These included interview prep, CV prep, skills assessment prep and a few more areas. We also got feedback on our projects and had to interact with 3 zoom teams throughout the session.
To what extent did you enjoy your work experience?
2/5
I mostly enjoyed it. It met my expectations, but it was online which limited the quality of the experience despite partaking as much as I could. Zoom teams were incredibly awkward and it was hard to start conversations.
How well organised was your work experience?
5/5
Very well organised, with a good programme structure. It only lost connection once.
How much did your work experience help you in deciding on your future career path?
5/5
Very helpful, getting employees perspectives helped me to gain an insight into a real career in finance.
Were you paid or reimbursed for this experience?
