Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
brought onto client meetings, and given a few PowerPoints slides to pull up. You have an hour of Q & A with one of the directors of a specific section of the business unit, and they share a wealth of knowledge about the firm and about what would be expected from you in terms of character and professionalism. It's a really great 3-day programme that paints a complete picture of the firm.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It shows you the world of opportunity that the firm provides you. So it's really nice knowing the different opportunities that you are presented with as a new employee.
